Canada

Turns out checks and balances don't mean shit if no one actually defends them.

Reagan with relaxing corporate oversight and then Bush with the Patriot act and lastly Trump packing the Supreme Court really made a fascist's utopia out of a system that barely had any accountability to start with.

Not to mention Citizen's United.

Despite all the (phony) reverence for the document in the U.S., the Constitutional Convention fucked up, badly. The Founding Fathers disliked political parties, considering them divisive, so they drew up a system that assumes that all office-holders are independent. That system is supposed to leverage the mutually-opposing interests of the representatives to check and balance each other. It simply can't work if a group of people with aligned interests control multiple branches of government.

They signed their new constitution in 1788, and by 1792, Alexander Hamilton formed the first political party. Whoops.

These nazis obviously did not grow up with schoolhouse rock

hitler was also on meth, so was trump. hes not that far behind.

The worst part is he's accelerating towards it so hard that half, or more, of the frogs are going to jump out of the boiling pot. And they will have a civil war at the same time as starting WW3... so they will also lose WW3.

innocent Americans

Half of them want this, half of them are not innocent (N = 1000).

The ones getting invaded are the wholly innocent (in this context).

Scoped bolt action hunting rifles because they make great impromptu Sniper rifles. Also, as a resistance fighter in asymmetrical warfare you're not going to beat an army with firepower and continuous engagements. You have to rely on hit and run tactics and rack up a body count over time that will make the occupation too pricey to keep up.

A compact, takedown/folding stock version is also preferable because it will make it easier to carry it in a non conspicuous bag in the city and blend in with the population. Trying to hide in the woods against an enemy with thermal vision and surveillance drone capabilities is a bad idea. The only way to hide human activity nowadays is among other human activity.

Although lately shotguns did find a new use in the battlefield against drones. But once again, they're long, hard to conceal and you're better off hiding among population.

Also, speaking of new tech, I think it is worth learning how to operate drones. It might have become the safer way to do things like that. They're easy to conceal and easy to deploy and operate out of sight. As a bare minimum it will force the invader to use high power radio jammers that are absolutely not healthy to stand around over a long period of time, further increasing the cost of the occupation.

Yep. The Feds should be providing free licensing and training nationwide at this point.

A good idea.

Keep in mind that you, the people outside of the U.S., and even a solid majority of people within the U.S. are on the same side.

He only has about a 30% approval rating on any given thing. In the U.S. there are a lot of people who have been looking around waiting for someone to do something in order to feel comfortable acting, and if he attacks Canada the people in the U.S. will see that as there instantly being 30 million people who are willing to do something, and it might trigger an active resistance within the U.S..

By all means, get firearms licenses and training, but be ready for something much more insidious than troops coming across the border if the US takes things this direction. We are already infiltrated by political and militia movements that are aligned with the US, and our own security and intelligence forces are deeply integrated. Worse than that even, we are on a giant island with them, any allies that might come to our aid are an ocean away, and the US has the capacity to easily blockade our major ports and cut us off from trade with the world. The US is positioned to break our society down economically and socially, utterly empoverishing and dividing our populace before making any move at actually seizing control of government and calling us a state. This is what they do to destroy countries. They do it with sanctions elsewhere, but they have even more powerful tools than those to use against us because of our shared geography and integration. So, yes, get firearms training and arm yourself, but be ready for internal chaos and to push back against domestic movements to align and capitulate, not just little green men coming across a border. Also, think about how to support & collaborate with Americans who are trying to fight fascism domestically. They are the front line, and our best hope may be their civil war if the US goes this direction.

They're getting more than elbows if those fat fucks wanna come up here and invade or annex us.

"Burger" hunting season is open as far as i'm concerned

Perhaps today is a good day to get a slashing penalty.

send in the candian geese armada.

Unfortunately the NSA has probably seen your comment and you will be abducted or bombed before their invasion truly begins.

You wanna laugh?

travel.gc.ca still classifies the USA as "take normal security precautions"

Actually, that's not funny. What the fuck is the government of Canada waiting for? We're basically Austria in 1937.

Totally.

Do you recall on 9/11 when Trump bragged that he now had the tallest building in New York?

I have this sneaking suspicion that what makes this all so "psychologically important" to him is that he wants to make the US the largest country by area on Earth. Stupid, I know, but that's par for the course for this fucking guy.
