Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Aside from some vague mumbling about ”the importance of international law”, the Swedish PM celebrates the US capture of Venezuela as a liberation. At this point I believe Trump can take Greenland with little more than stern looks.
It’s also increasingly clear that Trump enjoys a wide, perhaps perfect, acceptance among the US populace. While many would prefer other leadership, he has yet to do anything that are against the values of average Americans. Things widely accepted include, sending people without trial to the horror camp Cecot, building concentration camps in swamps and carrying out direct acts of war against sovereign nations without congressional approval.
We must be looking at different polls, because the ones I've looked at clearly show him having terrible approval ratings. Definitely not even close to a simple majority or "wide, perhaps perfect, acceptance".
Approval ratings measure political preference, I mean acceptance of what Donald Trump is doing as the fully legitimate exercise of presidential powers in the name of the American people. I have no longer have faith that there is any amount of ghastly shit the Trump regime can inflict on the world before that changes. No significant amount Americans can’t be relied on to disrupt the regime, because they tolerate it: nothing Trump does is fundamentally alien to Americans’ values to the point that they can’t abide.
The current Swedish government is a bunch of right wing assholes that want to replicate USA, copying some of the dumbest policies just because.
braindead comment. "Wide, perhaps perfect, acceptance among the US populace." This is so wrong and stupid. Also, every US president carries out direct acts of war against sovereign nations without congressional approval so that is not a valid criticism of Trump but of the whole country.
It’s wrong? They are stopping him? News to me!
Ask yourself by what factor Americans, on average, are more likely to take up arms against Canada than they are to join Canada in defending itself against the Trump regime. You’ll get a pretty good feel for if you think Americans align with the regime or the free world. Do you think the ratio would be lower than 10:1 in favor of the regime? Even if you counted non-violent (but material) resistance to the regime as siding with Canada, I think it would be far higher.
Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if Americans on aggregate skew towards supporting the regime out of Maga conviction or fear of being on the losing side. The end results are the same.
