Can I offer you New York State and all the economic power that comes with it? The US can keep Staten Island. We put our garbage there.

Look to your neighbors in the south for an example of what happens if you don’t take steps to combat this.

I’ll offer you the state of New York. You can have the tax base of NYC. I’m sure most of New England minus New Hampshire would be down with this.

Get in their faces and never fucking move, Canada. Keep fascists marginalized and weird at any cost.

What this ultimately amounts to is the worst actors using a blanket justification to carry out revenge fantasies against whatever marginalized group they’re fixated on.

If you happen to be part of any of these marginalized groups, now would be the time to get armed and get dangerous. It would be great if we lived in a functioning society where this wasn’t necessary, but the failure of so many of our institutions is slowly rewinding our social fabric back to wild west times.

If conservatives ever get insane enough to actually try anything like that, understand that a fair amount of that hypothetical insurgency will be happening on the American side of the border as well. A lot of people who live near the border have a lot of Canadian ties. They would effectively consider any military action taken against Canada to be an attack on them.
