"Congress meaningfully constrained the military by not giving them all of the money they asked for" is like also not it for me. The problems with "they wont do that, it would fuck them over" are that this is our day to day for 2 years. And i dont feel like congress has done that much here

It is worth noting that public opinion has changed *a lot* in the past 2 years. A case in point are the number of people who now understand a Dem president in ‘28 isn’t going to change much. Should more people be *really* concerned? Yes. But people are getting there at different speeds.

Biggest split in Canadian politics right now is “we are actually under attack by a faction of Americans who want to destroy our country, and we need to take extraordinary measures to prevent that” (basically the Carney gov’t and a couple premiers) vs “lol situation normal” (literally everyone else).

The median American reaction to what is going on vis-à-vis Canada is something like “Ahhh, we all have our disagreements. Friends don’t let politics get in the way of friendship, right?” Meanwhile, the American government is actively (though covertly) threatening Canadian sovereignty.
