On the one hand, I feel bad because these are people running to a better world hopefully before they get deported back to a shittier one. They come north so that they aren't sent south. (I presume that's what's going on here) And in that respect, I would welcome all of them.

America is a shit hole. Meanwhile, our population is stagnant because of declining birth rates, and our country absolutely loves diversity (at least on paper). Unlike America, where you're expected to melt into one giant conglomerate "American" culture, in Canada, you enrich ours by adding yours, like a spice.

But the problem is, doing it this way out of desperation is just going to embolden our own Maple MAGA fuckwits to become even bigger assholes because their IS a cost of living crisis, and we do have an immigration problem that needs to be addressed as well.

There's no winning.

Little Peepee's only shot was to get his election before the theory of a Trump presidency became the reality of a Trump presidency.

Now that that's not possible and every bit of that orange shit-stains bullshit is reflecting on him, not only has he gone relatively silent, but most of the Maple MAGA fuckwits have shut up as well.

With every day that Conservatives are kept wallowing in their reflection of the U.S. Republican party, they're chances of a majority government fall further and further down. I'm cautiously optimistic that even if it's too late to come back or too large a lead for the Liberals to make up, that at least we'll fall into Minority Government range where Peepee won't be able to get the worst of his agenda accomplished.

I know how anyone could organize something so large, But a mass strike/walkout would have more impact than anything else right now.

None of the common people go in to work until shit stain "abdicates"

At what point to left-leaning states governors start building up their own militias?

I'm asking this as a Canadian, I honestly don't know what the process is vis a vis state militia vs federal military.

Up until recently I felt like at a certain point, there were lines that the military would not cross regarding Trump orders. But now I'm kind of terrified that they really haven't pushed back at all, meaning if it comes down to it, it's all going to up to the individual states.

It's not "gone", but the notion of it being "acceptable" is gone:

Using 'retard' as a slur, not only for people with intellectual disabilities but also just for people or things you think were stupid.

What if someone decided you were a bad guy and decided to do the same thing to you?

I'd hate it, obviously. But if I'm living my life in such a way to make people believe that my death is necessary, I would be reexamining my life choices.

Nikola failed the moment they chose not to go with "The first name in electric vehicles" as their slogan.

Trump's response to this will prove once and for all whether or not Putin has serious kompromat on him.

If in the next day or two, Trump quietly backs off his deal with Zelensky for the rights to the Rare Earths...Putin definitely has something on him.

If Trump doubles down with his usual ego and bravado;

a) I would actually be surprised that his presidency could accomplish one...good...thing by going all in with Ukraine to win the war. and...

b) He'll be heading out a window soon because his greed overtook his loyalty to daddy Poots, losing in the coveted useful idiot status.

He's probably already living in the boiler-room at Mar-a-Lago with a mannequin leg as a lover.

It's always a land border if you go far enough underwater.

I think you're missing the difference between sexism (or any ism for that matter) with human bias.

There's a point in every enlightened person's life when they wake up and realize "Everyone, INCLUDING ME, have ingrained biases developed from years of past experiences." It's not good, and we try to recognize it when it happens so that we can improve as humans. But at no point does that become "sexism"; it just human nature and one that we have to be on the lookout for in ourselves.

What becomes sexism (or any ism for that matter ^save Ferris^ ) is when that bias becomes purposeful and targeted. It's not a bias anymore, it's been taken and turned into a weapon.

In other words, please lighten up. Running around calling everyone evil sexist nazis because they have a harmless bias is the reason that we end up with reactionary groups like Incels and MAGA.
