I don't, that's my point.
So, so far you've said Canada a) should just ignore the US, and then b) should help the US instead of just talking about it. You're contradicting yourself. Canada cares because a US Dictatorship would be massively dangerous for the world, and as the US closest neighbor they stand to suffer more than most. There's little they can do at this point that doesn't make things worse besides talking about how dangerous the situation is. Should Trump actually win I'm sure they'll take more active measures (most likely at least initially would be putting extra military forces on the border), but at this point they're most likely just hoping Trump ends up in jail like the rest of us are.
The dillusion is that normal, everyday , working class people have anything to do with the world geopolitical situation. The whole point is, that if everyone used their energy to focus on their own problems, the entire world would be better off.
Rather. The world likes the soap opera that it has become. And all sides have a vested interest in the cacophony. I support true action....I also didn't use the improper analogy...just put it in a better context.
Any whining by those on the other side of a fictional line, matters nothing to me. Everyone in this thread is a fool, including myself.
We share the longest undefended border in the world. Ofc Canadians are worried! If Trump decides he wants our fresh water resources 'cause California needs it to grow produce, what would stop him?
Blaming us for your nation's (likely) fall into a dictatorship isn't the best look.
Oh you don't need to worry about that one, Trump would never do anything to help California.
It seems Lemmy needs it's own r/iamverysmart.
