I've already checked. I've got enough qualifications that I can just migrate to Canada.

It'll be nice to teach them about what their summers are going to be like.

[-] Mudface@lemmy.world 72 points 1 year ago

Canada is going to elect a conservative government, too

The whole world is shifting hard to the right. It's pretty crazy to see happen in real time.

Something something "weak men" something something "hard times"

Male fragility will kill us all.

Male Fragility Will Kill Us All

You're a fool if you think that far-right conservatism is exclusive to men (or that only allowing women in power would solve it)

Ah yes, let's red herring with gender politics and sexism.

Seriously, this isn't productive, it's toxic, and belongs back on Reddit and back on the gate communities there.

It's due to all the propaganda BS everyone needs a fairness doctrine for media at this point

They don't need to elect anything. Fascism is inherently militaristic.

If the US goes full fascist, then it's only a matter of time.

No place in the world will be safe.

[-] fiat_lux@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

Most places in the world were never safe from the US anyway, it has had aggressively competitive foreign policy for the last 80 years.

[-] ikiru@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

No argument there, but it can always get worse.

[-] RupeThereItIs@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Meh, the USA won't invade Canada. Even if we go full fascist Canada is way better as a frenemy.

Our largest trading partner won't be able to give us a reason to invade.

Mexico on the other hand should watch out, given the amount of scapegoating our right wing throw their way.

[-] TSG_Asmodeus@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Mexico is their largest trading partner now, just a heads up.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah but the fascists are already talking about invading them. And like hey, last time we did it we got our most profitable state out of it

[-] BURN@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Facts have never had an effect on conservative feelings, despite one of their favorite sayings being “facts don’t care about your feelings”

[-] RupeThereItIs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Who's? Canada's or the USA? In both cases that's false.

The Canadian economy is inextricably linked to ours (USA). Any plans they have to deal with a racist USA has to take that, and the military disparity, into account. Canada is in a very shit situation if the USA falls to fascism. Appeasement is their only realistic option.

Ah, yes, the famous stopper of fascist expansion: Appeasement.

Canada has already been identified as a valid target for decades due to South Parks "blame Canada."

Poilievre isn't conservative. He's pretty much far right.

Two years still. Lots can change and people will see through the piss poor attempt at the Conservative rebranding of Poilievre.

We basically flip between Liberal and Conservative on schedule. Trudeau took a gamble on positive numbers calling the last election early but I think his brand is essentially dead. PP is getting a huge image treatment right now if you've seen his tanned face and new persona, like they're throwing full weight in to making him relatable, and you can tell what a massive effort that is lol. I don't see too much of a material difference between LPC and CPC though, CPC is more shameless but the things LPC does to sovereign nations inside our country should be setting off more alarm bells than they are. People forget those treaties are with the Crown not the Canadian government. Also fuck the Liberals for not changing the vote, they campaigned so hard on that and I can't believe I fell for it first time around. NDP are polling decently well too but with the voting being what it is they're screwed. Although I'm not a huge fan of Jagmeet and how he became leader and think NDP need to do better with their branding and messaging, right now it's like "we're liberals but more authentic" but they need to be more forthcoming with the economic vision and why it will benefit everyone regardless of their identity. A straight white tradesman needs to get the message that he has just as much interest in voting NDP as a nonconforming individual, and I think they really need to tie these messages back to the economic benefit and power of having solidarity with others in achieving material political goals.

im pretty sure they would close their borders and fast.

[-] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Never close your borders to another country's brain drain

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
