Usually countries that seek to annex others have built up a sophisticated propaganda campaign to justify such deep violations of international laws and norms. The Trump admin doesn’t even bother.
The old man says we need to do it so we will just go along with it no matter how insane it is.

New pod: WH press sec Karoline Leavitt said straight out that if Canada becomes 51st US state, it won't have to pay tariffs. This is an utterly insane position. @swin24.bsky.social is so good on what this must look like to Canadians, which is almost never discussed:

It is neither.
The intent is to degrade American power and alienate it from its closest allies.
Of course, he's working for Putin, and the intent is to weaken and alienate the US.
His goal is to destroy civil society, to destroy our country. NBC knows this, and they pretend like he's just going after fraud.
The Canada annexation fantasy is insane, and I really think the strongest response is mocking the bully as absurd. Canadians showing they're terrified is what he wants, don't give that to him.

His fever-dementia-addled dreams are made reality by those who fluff him.
No big deal

We’re not dumb enough to alienate our second most populated Province by enacting one.
Besides, have you met Quebecois Women? Amazing Women!

The winds of change bring new opportunities 😎
If they want to crush voting rights and opposition activity in the United States proper, you can bet they’d do so in any territory they fantasize about “annexing”.
There was no promise made. The part you played, the chance you took. 🎶
Alaska was never Canadian. It was purchased from Russia in 1867.
It's not guns

We now have two choices. Live free or kneel to your MAGA king like a slave.
Color? Gender? Race? Immigrant? Rural? Urban? Worker? Boss? Poor? Rich? Red? Blue? Your flag is one of these.
I know which one is mine.
