@RyanRozbiani Someone has to remind him that from the Canadian perspective the Americans are the Persian Empire

@Lorilust3 @Taylor_YNWA @Reconz1691 @1963Canuck Half of Quebecois ARE their own special flavour of rednecks Tabarnak! That Venn diagram is almost a circle.

@WUTangKids I have a Truth Social account for one reason and one reason only: sometimes Trump's posts are so unbelievable I have to go check if they're real. WTF.

[Frank The Tank @fdmamen]

@1963Canuck @curvylinc50 Talk is cheap. Anonymous shitposting is even cheaper. It's also about having zero self-awareness. Calling anyone who disagrees with your own narrow wordlview evil and brainwashed, etc.

@glenn_tunes I can't decide if this trade war is a spinoff of the Norwegian series "Occupied" or a sequel to the movie "Idiocracy"

[Frank The Tank @fdmamen]

@1963Canuck @curvylinc50 We have to remind ourselves that Twitter isn't real life. Lots of loud, foul-mouthed fanatics convincing each-other that their fringe ideas are popular, taking up all the oxygen.

@_Ms_J @HenriAGS Sound terrible maybe I should move away from Montreal.

[Frank The Tank @fdmamen]

@curvylinc50 @1963Canuck Let's just hope it never comes to that! - although the number of MAGA (and Canadian "Maple Syrup MAGA") saying "Why not just "Maduro" Carney?" is chilling reminder that some would cheer it on.

@RichardLBennett That's the paradox of Canada's geography: we can be militarily weak ang get pushed around from time to time, or seriously arm ourselves and potentially be seen as a competitor and an unacceptable threat, NATO membership notwithstanding.

[Frank The Tank @fdmamen]

@Radi0Fella This is the paradox of being nextdoor to the world's no. 1 superpower: we could increase our military spending by a factor of 10 and still be told "we defend you". Moving the country elsewhere is not an option: we can't say "No thanks don't defend us anymore, we're opting out."

@SuitablePolitic Sounds like an updated version of what Xerses would have told the Greeks at Thermopylae.

[Frank The Tank @fdmamen]

@ItsDeanBlundell Nobody is seriously considering this other than social media accounts ragebaiting like this one. Just stop

[Frank The Tank @fdmamen]

@WatcherontheWeb Nobody is considering this. Pure clickbait

[Frank The Tank @fdmamen]

@scrappyone76 @BillKristol You have a point. We have our own flavour of loony MAGA conservatives up here. Why does it remain relatively fringe overall? Different political culture, etc. but also different media landscape. There is no direct Canadian equivalent to Fox News.

[Frank The Tank @fdmamen]

@scrappyone76 @BillKristol Lots of boomers in FL! Also think of people working 3 jobs that are essentially in survival mode: they are too busy to seriously follow the news or even really know what their own political ideology is.

[Frank The Tank @fdmamen]

@scrappyone76 @BillKristol Hang in there! We see you. We know it's not all of you, not even close. We have our share of morons too. The difference: yours have reached critical mass. MAGA aren't the whole issue. It's also the uninformed or apathetic 88 million non-voters. It's not really over in 28 months.

@NicholasOCarro3 @StewartBro47996 @1963Canuck People automatically assume something like the movie Red Dawn (the original 80s one) freezing in the woods. Think 3D printing drones in a garage, in a suburb somewhere. Most educated country in the world.

[Frank The Tank @fdmamen]

@Dems_R_Stoopid0 @1963Canuck Sounds like a threat of genocide to me but let's leave that aside. If someone tried to annex and occupy YOUR country I presume you would help defend it. Why would you expect any different from us? Americans often sound like they think theirs is the only patriotism that is real.

[Frank The Tank @fdmamen]

@ninesparks726 @HenriAGS Didn't know that. That's not surprising either.
