Republicans. If they aren't threatening to secede from the United States, they're pretending that everyone else wants to join the United States.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

Republicans: is there anything they’re not hypocritical about?
If they didn't have hipocrisy, there would only be blessed scilence.
Not sure this guy understands that if that actually happened, no Republican would ever win the presidency again, and the House and Senate would instantly flip to the Democrats.
Not sure this guy understands
That's far enough.
Don't threaten me with a good time, eh?!
Cute of you to assume “Canada” would be given states rights. No no no my friend. At worst we’d be a Guam, or a Puerto Rico. With no political power whatsoever. At best, we’d be a neverending insurgency fought in the tree line.
Did that tree just call me a hoser?
I'm Canadian and I'm not confident most Canadians would vote democrat
That's disheartening. I've been under the impression that even most of your conservatives generally find Republicans to be completely cuckoo. Is that not the case?
That's becoming less and less the case I think, but we rejected their politics in the voting booth, so time will tell
we rejected their politics in the voting booth
This time. Polls last fall had PP set to win. Then Trump came along and we rejected it all. But now Carney, who rode to a win on "elbows up" appears to be putting his elbows down and is caving to Trump. I don't expect he'll win a second time.
Yeah, it's not encouraging, I'm starting to get my shit together for the inevitable rise of evangelistic corporate terrorism in Canada
US won’t outright attack Canada with the full force of their military but they will and are trying to coerce us into becoming a state by convincing maga rednecks in Alberta to leave Canada.
I know, and my point still stands, I'm still prepping, the takeover of the internet is closer than that still
... Still
Not voting Democrat doesn't automatically mean yes voting Republican, after all, more parties are legally allowed...right?
Unfortunately, we have a first-past-the-post election system in most of the country (a very few places have ranked-choice). What that means is that most of the time, voting for anyone besides a Democrat or a Republican amounts to throwing your vote away.
Kang or Kudos.
MB would be a swing state that leans left, SK would be 55:45 R, AB would be 70:30 R, ON would be a bellwether swing state like NY was for centuries. QC, the coastals, and the Arctics would be blue states.
I mostly agree but I’d say AB would be closer to 90:10 R. I’ve got family and friends there and it’s very conservative. I don’t actually know a single liberal Albertan.
The rest is spot on though.
For context, we don’t have a single state that is 80:20 R. WV/WY are the closest we have, and even then it’s basically 70:30.
The most recent federal election here was 92% conservative in Alberta

~20% would vote Trump, about 95% of Alberta.
And America would start winning a lot more Hockey tournaments.
Oh I think you are way too optimistic.
Speaking as a Manitoban, “Fuck the fuck off.”
Maybe this is some sort of US government plan to make it so Americans wont be allowed to flee to Canada. Its like the Handmaid's tale only if we make it over the river into Canada the Canadian border patrol will grab us and toss us back onto US soil.
I counter offer. Fuck off and go salute your fascist, child rapist felon rump. After the violence that ice has been doing to every day people while most of you americans sit around watching youtube and twitch while regular people are being murdered by their own makes me ill. Well there is a couple of things the average american does well. Apathy and avarice.
Keep track of the Canadians going to America for fun while fascists rule.
These people are idiots.
Hey buddy, why don't you make like a tree and fuck off
Any US state would be lucky to be invited to join Canada instead. For the poutine and less war crimes alone.
Less war crimes these days.
Those sap sucking, puck slapping, monsters of the north INVENTED war crimes!
Would you like another tin of beans?
I think we should stop calling them republicans and call them what they really are. Confederates!

I was more pissed off when I saw this 2 months ago, less so when I saw it again last month. I'm not saying it shouldn't be posted, but this is a repost and old news. At least highlight the date in the submission.
Kindly get fucked, eh
Join me and together we can rule the galaxy.

Oh, how delightful. /s
I would assume that he just wants friction. If he wants to generate an actual international incident, he should try to get a bunch of wackjobs out of Maine to go sit on Macchias Seal Island. That's the subject of an actual, unresolved US/Canadian territorial dispute, so from a US federal standpoint, Maine has a right to do whatever it wants there. Canada, in turn, has a history of aiming to establish a precedent of its authority over it and I expect isn't going to ignore a bunch of right-wingers out of the US setting up camp there.
I saw a documentary about a group that tried this during Trump’s first term in office.
The locals just referred to them as whacko American tourists, sold them kitsch, and otherwise left them alone, other than for the Canadian locals to politely refuse them entry to Canadian or environmentally restricted areas and facilities.
The locals (both Canadian and American) figured eventually some nutjob from away would make a bigger stink, but until then, they saw things as relatively in hand.
I’m surprised Noem hasn’t showed up there yet, like she did to the library that straddles the border.

File an international arrest order for insurrection. Maybe he'll never leave the hole he lives in, but if...
What a tard
"Donny, look at me! Look, I did a thing, just like you! Surely this will get me an appreciative troot from you? Oh Donny, boost my career!"
Hope the new guy wipes the GOP off the map in Maine. Look, I'm a weepy little bitch once you get a few beers in me, but first time I saw his campaign launch video, well, my face got wet, for... reasons. You'll see:

Ah, fuck. Getting weepy again. Watch that video. You will want to scream and cry. I have no idea what party he's running under. And I don't care. GOP? No problem, I'd vote for that man no matter what.
My god, why can't the fucking Democrats get behind that message?! Campaigns would no longer be competitions.

I wonder how serious other countries will take American refugee status after we start WWIII over the currency crashing?
