About 80% of Americans don't think the United States should try to take over Canada. They aren't nuts about adding Greenland or the Panama Canal, either. They really don't want to take over Gaza. www.reuters.com/world/us/ame... - ThreadSky

The other 20% can take out from our cold, dead hands.

kenfinch.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Those orange percentages also happen to match the percentage of Americans who are functional morons. Coincidence? 🤔

andycrain.bsky.social•16 hours ago

What’s with the 20%?

staidwinnow.cultofsundries.com•19 hours ago

About 63% did not want Roe v. Wade to be overturned. Yet, they enthusiastically voted for those who wanted it overturned.

If 45 declares war on Canada, probably about 80% won't care.

Gaza, 95% would not even care.

Until some soldiers get killed.

If the US invades Canada you folks are going to have to worry about a lot more than soldiers being killed

lsaffs.bsky.social•19 hours ago

But what are they going to do to prevent it? When we see Americans apparently frozen like deer in headlights at the dismantling of their own country, we don't have much hope of practical help should the talk of annexation and invasion turn into action.

So 1 in 5 people think we should lob a missile over into Alberta

locutusof.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Great. Now they need to do something about it.

socialgreedia.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Why don’t we just give Mar-a-Lago to Cuba and be done with it?

s-b-w.bsky.social•16 hours ago

This is all crazy talk and distractions. We know this now. Can we focus on the real issues?

wardqnormal.bsky.social•18 hours ago

It's almost like this should have been a landslide in the opposite direction, given how unpopular all of his ideas are!

mwade2025.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Only 80%. I didn’t realize 20% of the country was doing that poorly.

onlyoneplanet.bsky.social•18 hours ago

What’s wrong with the other 20%?

dylansocal.bsky.social•19 hours ago

the respondents who think we should take over other sovereign nations are psychos, wtaf. I stg the issue could be idk murdering kittens and many Americans would say they're in favor... like get me out of here.

cottles.bsky.social•18 hours ago

The number of Americans that do though, is horrifying. US has more than its fair share of nutters that do. I am disgusted.

The fact that *30% of Americans* are fine with annexing other countries is *terrifying*, honestly.

ysosidious.bsky.social•14 hours ago

There is a permanent 30% of this country that’s a bunch of stupid and evil pos, minimum, judging by polls going back decades.

staniel79.bsky.social•15 hours ago

A phrasing that would have reflected the actual situation should have been, “Should Canada be pressured into becoming part of America?”

walteriv.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Didja try the diners?

davids8663.bsky.social•19 hours ago

The founding myth of most Americans is that foreign domination is bad and we escaped from. So a purely predatory foreign policy is not popular.

braindeaddad.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I mean this is all dumb as shit but why would it only be one state lol

bossyzana.bsky.social•18 hours ago

All of that is Authoritarian craziness and grandiosity by Trump.

kalanyr.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Hmm. I am a little concerned that people seem to be reacting to the reason given for taking over the country more than anything else but at least the most favourable one is still under half.

stand-up.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Weird how AMERICANS ARE TALKING ABOUT WANTING TO INVADE SO MANY SOVEREIGN NATIONS because our billionaires and criminals want to own them... those are WAR CRIMES.

chickenlady.bsky.social•18 hours ago

So why on Earth did they not go vote?
Or voted Trump?

What the actual..?

blueknuckle.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Oh, Thank God that polling will have any effect at all.

lcmama.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Much prefer to see Puerto Rico and D.C. achieve statehood first.

easterbrooksj.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Looks like about 3% of Americans responded something to the effect of “what’s Canada?”

Surprised it was that low, actually

tvnred.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Expand US territory is also an insane way to phrase this. The opposed numbers would be even bigger with the word invade

maggiekat.bsky.social•19 hours ago

we refuse to provide adequate health care for the people we got now, why would we add more people?

gretasplace.bsky.social•19 hours ago

It's not about providing for the people, it's about adding their land to develop and extract resources as people are pushed north due to climate change.

maggiekat.bsky.social•18 hours ago

true - said in jest, but truth

gretasplace.bsky.social•17 hours ago

My bad :)

maggiekat.bsky.social•17 hours ago

nah, you're good

I did not make myself clear (as usual)

amstradsen.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Those questions are insane.
