Yea this is a question of damage control. My wife is worried about them attempting to remove abortion access in lock step, and now she isn't wrong to be afraid. Populism is toxic.

Also, all of the disinformation campaigns that worked to destabilize the US were vindicated by this election result, so you can expect similar interference in the Canadian election next year.

I do agree with you. China smartly used emerging green technology as part of its push for an economic sphere of influence, and has largely succeeded. Although Westerners generally hate the CCP's guts, this is one of those rare times that their interests align with humanity's overall.

Still, China won't be in a hurry to completely phase out coal anytime soon, and now nobody in America can say anything about it (then again, West Virginia is still addicted to coal anyway... )

The easy answer is, money. Lots of it. With the deregulation of financial crimes (let's see how badly the IRS gets gutted now), it doesn't matter where the money comes from. But it will be necessary to invest heavily in the next midterm and presidential election to ensure JD Vance doesn't automatically win.

The internet archive is based in the US. Until they relocate to a safe alternative, it doesn't matter how much money they receive.

No, siege is when you are suffering from a famine because a government that hasn't received a vote in 15 years picked a fight with a heavily armed neighbor, and said neighbor collectively punishes all of your people for their mistakes (which is a war crime, btw).

Exactly. This makes the entire thing a joke.

The court will decide acts are official when convenient (read: supports their guy).

The Federalist Society needs to be outlawed as a terrorist organization.

You can't draw an imaginary line between American policy and your home country. It affects everyone when more natural disasters happen or food prices rise due to global insecurity.

What a goddamn joke. The foxes are fully in charge of the hen house.

Time to see if Americans truly believe in conscientious objections or not.

Privilege for you to type that. For others, like Ukrainians, the consequences are much worse.

Correct. The time was in July but that guy missed.

If they attempt to abolish term limits I think we're actually going to see a civil war.

If you're going to die because you can't afford it, then does the risk really matter?
