It's all a big joke to people in the US, and it's tough but necessary to really convey to folks in the US that *Canadians viscerally do not see it that way*.

Still can’t get over the FOX News host who chided Canadians for getting all worked up over Trump’s little joke, as if his demented musings weren’t becoming policy as we speak. Fuck that guy.
"oh no angry canadians what are they gonna do apologize" buddy they're not in an apologizing mood and last time you made them this mad they burned down the white house, they are friendly when they are friends, do not squander that
the problem is that i think a lot of Americans are still in "look it's ok to joke about this because it's so obviously just Trump having delusions of grandeur while he goes senile" while not noticing the GOP scrambling to try to validate him.
The problem is they either think it's all imaginary or dragging tanks from american base to canadian city and clicking "end turn", and nothing in between, and the reality is that in his mind punitive tariffs that will be economically ruinous to Canadians and damaging to the US will "soften" Canada
This mentality is ruining a core US alliance, it is economically ruinous, and if it did escalate, would plunge the entire continent into a cycle of violence. It needs to be ended as a mentality. Folks need to not see it as "lol, what a funny joke" but "this is insane, and will destroy the US"
Take a number. These fuck knuckles are doing like 12 things that will destroy the US. Good news for you is we’ll probably self-destruct before we get around to invading you.
It is the same level of insanity as proposing that the federal government try and conquer California, or destroy its economy until it learns to vote Republican. Folks need to see it in that light
Like, I’m a patriotic American. I believe in our vision, even though its execution has frequently been flawed. I believe (or at least hope really hard) that the MAGA era will be over soon, utterly crushed and discredited.
But there is no way in hell I would trust us for the next X decades.
Waging a war of aggression is a war crime, and while that might have an effect on political polling or stock prices or whatever, the most important thing about it is that it is a WAR CRIME.
I’m an American and it’s not a joke to me. I hate that the President of this country is tearing to shreds alliances that were forged with blood, tears, honor, respect, and integrity over decades all for his vanity and insanity.
