Trump on accelerationism: (sound warning)

Oh look that thing people thought he was just joking about turned out to not be a joke.
Thank you for taking the time to read this sig.
This sig loves you.
So never. It's so obvious this man wants to have a legacy more than he wants to make sense. Last time it was the wall, this time it's something as stupid as having Canada as the 51st state.

Canada has no reason to degenerate itself.
The next one better get the job done
We live in the age of derangement
I'm sure that this will certainly lower the costs of eggs.
Asocial, not introverted. Know the difference.
Maybe those JRPGs villains were on to something about humanity being trash.
Fuck this fucking fascist fleabag fuck. No one other than him and his gooning-for-money and power squad wants a fucking war.

Stable genius. Very presidential.
Hey, everyone, what's going on in this topic? Oh.
I wonder...is he being advised to do this or simply pure whim??

Yeah, this is a good reminder that Trump never jokes. Man is humorless.

Also, his brain is mush for even suggesting this.

This also shows that Trump isn't just pretending to be stupid, because no smart person would think this has a chance of working.

Canada should be grateful! Who doesn't wanna become part of our country where we do not value healthcare, education, environment, social programs, information, infrastructure or civil rights? What we value is complete submission to the whims and fancies of our rich oligarchy overlords just as god intended!
A worthless existence
@Geiki_Ganger
why won't the Canadian government just accept Trump's tariffs and find ways to appease him?

Scary part is we could take over Canada within a week. Relying on an ally as a deterrent and them suddenly going rogue is a lesson any nation should learn to never be complacent.

We don't particularly have anything to casus belli over though. Even if that's true, occupying requires resources and the former allies we'd have are not going to just sit there.

Does Canada have any defenses to suppress the full might of the American military? This isn't even a Ukraine-Russia type scenario. I'd never wish it to happen but it would be a fast war.

Weird nitpick but it would be the 51st-60th states. I think they have 10 provinces. You can't turn the entirety of Canada into a singular state.

We don't. Trump could just say fuck it and launch an invasion for whatever reason.

They have allies, pissed off former American allies, and American citizens who will refuse to go to war with Canada.

You really have no idea what you are talking about and are drastically overestimating how difficult a war like that would be - between all of our own allies jumping us, elements of the military very likely refusing orders as unlawful, and more, it would not be over in a week.

You mean the same Putin everyone ignored and supported Ukraine anyway? What makes you think our generals are going to agree to nuke Canada?

He doesn't use Twitter much. Not really sure why considering his buddy/master owns it. All his inane ranting can be found on his truth account
I don't think Canada will ever comply. Becoming part of America means they'll likely have to adapt America's broken-ass health insurance.

Trump is far more deranged and irrational than Putin. Anyone who could stop him got replaced with cultists.

I'd sooner our dollar be worth less than the ruble rather than become the 51st state.
I used the knife. I saved a child. I won a war. God forgive me.
The only amusing part about all this nonsense would be if Donnie's tyrannical expansion caused the US to massively sway towards electing Democrats because of it... But then I'm like nah the GOP would probably just not let them vote.
Rage is a hell of an anesthetic.
Hypothetically, how would Canada becoming the 51st state affect elections going forwards? I know they're far from being a left-leaning progressive wonderland but surely they'd vote blue, right?

As a Canadian I can say that America would militarily take us over with ease. It's the resistance and world backlash as well as the backlash at home that America would not be able to handle.

This is Canada's fault for relying on America for so long. Hopefully this is a wake up call for Canada to start developing and mass producing drones for warfare, and to begin to develop and manufacture nuclear weapons.

At the very least they seem to hate Trump, so they'd (hopefully) fight to keep him and any other MAGA out of office.

Yeah, I would go as far as to say that invading Canada would ultimately be America's undoing. A. From my understanding, Canada's military is far more brutal than their national stereotype may imply.
B. Virtually all our allies would turn against us, may even enact a collective first strike in MAD to stop us from nuking everyone else.
C. America hasn't been _totally_ brainwashed into seeing Canada as an enemy or something we're entitled to. There would likely be a shit load of internal resistance and civil upheaval.

Also, if we did something that stupid, Russia would probably throw everything at Ukraine and terrify the EU it has to defend two fronts. Hell, China might as well take Taiwan during the chaos.

Canada almost certainly has a stronger military than Iraq and Afghanistan, and unlike those countries is close enough to attack Americans at home. Good luck defending the world's longest land border!

They would likely have the full support of the EU as well as the war almost certainly triggering half the US population to go into active hostilities against itself, if not starting Civil War 2 outright. So there's that.

That's what I'd think. I know they're upset about cost of living and the rate of immigration, like every country as of late, but no matter how mad they are at their own left-leaning/centrist parties they would be livid at the US right.

You very much underestimate American citizens. They're more likely to kill Trump than go to war with Canada. Not even most of his cult are willing to inconvenience themselves with an all out war.

I don't believe this one bit. Americans are the laziest and most worthless fucking people there are. They could have prevented this by voting and chose not to. His cult will believe anything he says. If he says Canada is the enemy they'll go to war.

Agreed. I dont think the Canadians would make it that easy for Donnie and the gang to steamroll over them, especially since the rest of our former NATO allies would jump in and kick Americas ass back to our side of the border if Donnie was stupid enough to make his threats a reality.
