US democracy is being dismantled by a group of billionaire oligarchs, conservative ideologues and Christian nationalists who aim to permanently change the US in their interests. Those interests include taking over Canada and our resources.

Tl;Dr for americans offended by the headline

    More like the facade of US democracy, having served it's purpose, is being disposed of

    "The Americans". As an American, I do not support this in any way. These are delusional thoughts of a senile person who is supported by his chronies

    I've never even heard it beyond his tweets. Like not a single soul has mentioned it IRL

    But do what about it?

    No offense (genuinely) but what every day americans think or say to each other about their government doesn't stop them from doing awful things both domestically and internationally.

    So it's Americans' fault for not overthrowing the most powerful empire on earth yet, got it. Great take. Except your government probably sucks too, maybe you should overthrow that one then talk shit.

    Fucking kids these days, no one wants to throw their life away on a half baked revolution anymore! /s

    I don't see why we shouldn't make yankees feel bad about not overthrowing their government.

    It might motivate them to actually do something.

    How do you envision that playing out? I don't think you have thought through what it takes to overthrow a government, let alone the US, then what would happen afterwards.

    If you wished for that on a monkey paw, you would see what I mean here, without organization, there firstly will be no revolution at this time.

    Secondly, at all times without that organization and some muscle and leadership and the rest, we would be subjugated by groups just as bad if not worse.

    So, the thing to encourage, is organization. Say a federated community of innumerable groups organized on what they agree on that can cooperate on what they agree on. One with clear sets of rules fairly enforced with appeals for violations that can be decided ultimately by a jury of that group's users.

    We can still show what your lot is lacking then you'll know what to do after organizing. Because, I'm sorry, you're the bad guys either by wittingness or weakness. And, LET'S BE REAL HERE, a lot of us outside the US have way worse than the aristocratic working class within the Imperial core. Stop removed and show some work on YOUR side. Or are you waiting for the Chinese and the Russians reach Manhattan? Do you know what would happen next?

    Yes.

    Except your government probably sucks too, maybe you should overthrow that one then talk shit.

    Currently only one country wants to annex Canada. But leave it to USAmericans to assume their passivity is universal.

    The only two options, sitting on your hands or grabbing an AK and trying to storm the Capitol.

    No. The Orange clown and his circus, maybe. The overwhelming majority of Americans either laugh or cringe or both at the senile Pedo-Cheeto in charge.

    I'm not sure I even know any Trumpers who wouldn't just join-up with the Canadians on day-one. Its bizare the juicy tea these commenters are convinced they've found in a nothing-burger.

    Orange man couldn't even rally the people around invading a land with all-of 56,000 people, and anyone believes he can drag even the most ignorant USians into Canada? Half of any would-be "invasion force" would be shot in the back before they reached the border. THAT'S how AMERICAN or even "real" this idea is.

    Canada should get very serious about annexing the US or at least a regime change.
