We will target everyone we can, to enlighten them to what Trump has done to your closest ally. Sorry, not sorry, it's a war and we"'ve never lost a war yet. Stay tuned; it won't be short, but we will get there. In the meantime, I'll wave to you from the shores of the Niagara River.

As I write this Kentucky is already crying over us removing Bourbon from our shelves. Our Canadian Whiskies are better anyhow.

Trump is hell-bent on conquering Canada by economic force. Our Ambassador to the UN has stated Trump has violated a legal contract with Canada and Mexico and also he's violating sections of the UN charter. He's plunging us all into WW3. The EU is talking about cancelling trade agreements with the US and we are discussing cancelling contracts with American companies.

So, he's planning to tariff y'all until you give up? :-/ Does he realize that ANOTHER COUNTRY might have separate sections like we do (it's on a frickin' MAP, he wouldn't even have to /read/ anything [vs. this map, from 2020 {sigh...}: https://www.reddit.com/r/MapChart/comments/nvnbyn/my_version_of_the_infamous_jesusland_map/?rdt=47591])?

In which case, that would be another TEN STATES! And I think at least more than half, probably the most populated, would vote Blue... No wonder he wants them all in one lump sum.

Also, Trump is trying to annex Canada because of our water, critical minerals and all of our natural resources. Notice how many times he has referred to the water in Canada and the big wheel he'll turn on to start the flow of water to the USA. We took that as his first indication he wants unlimited access to said water.

Trump is an adroit thief. He stole the spring water right out from under old Molly Forbes without remorse. His supporters have long known of his lifelong criminal proclivities, but voted for him anyway. Watch, "Unfit" on YouTube.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: he stole water from northern Californian farmers to "provide" it for us here in southern California, to put out two big fires sparked by climate-change-powered winds that were already 100% contained by the time he "turned on the spigot."

Water that was supposed to go for our being able to grow things in the summer. X-P

I’ve lived in E. Tennessee my whole life, and I’ve ALWAYS despised the bigotry, the racism, and the faux-Christianity of the area. I’ve also always loved the natural beauty of my state and the multitude of decent, honorable folks, and the real Christians who walk the walk that live here.

I’ve never voted for a Republican in my life. Hell, I campaigned for George McGovern in college, in 1972 (and got cursed at and spit on for it), and for every Democratic presidential candidate, and plenty of local office-seekers, since then. Now, part of my grief and anger over what’s going on in the whole country is exacerbated by the feeling that because of where I live, now I’M considered the enemy, too. Ain’t fittin’! Just ain’t fittin’.

There was a Sunday Doonesbury comic (/pulled/ from tons of newspapers, btw) that had a school teacher saying there were many in the Confederate states who sided with the Union; there were something like 100K Alabaman troops who covered Sherman's March Through Everything, protecting his flank. One of the kids went, "Ooh! So there were Never-Trumpers even back then!"

Yes! And IIRC, Tennessee sent more volunteers into the Union camp than any other state. It’s part of the reason we’re known as “the Volunteer State.” (See also: UT Vols🙂)

So, thirteen days into his so-called Administration. Not discounting the trade wars, they are a whole other disaster he's created. His "executive order" has F**KED the CA. water system, which we really didn't need right now. We're very much a blue state, so maybe it's retribution, or revenge? He stopped federal funding of meals and food programs for children and elderly US citizens. He stopped providing HIV meds to numerous countries, how charming. Guess he didn't kill enough people during his NON-RESPONSE to the Covid outbreak. He is, in the words of Eddie Izzard: A Mass Murdering Fuckhead. Right up there with Hitler, Pol Pot, and Mao. I seriously can't take much more of him, why can't he JUST DIE.

Thanks for the info. Very interesting. Yeah, I realize that Vance is also the Devil's spawn, but he won't have the same numbers of idiots blindly following him. I just know that the evening of the "election"......I turned to the results, and it was already OVER. It was still quite early on the West Coast, and I don't remember ANY election ending that soon. And it felt like a giant switch flipped, and all Hell would break loose. If it's part of a grand scheme, they're WINNING. Heaven help us all.

My community is 136 people who all voted for Trump. I honestly don't feel safe here even though I didn't talk about my candidate at all. The neighbors came over and were trying to pull my husband into lies about Kamala (things that have been disproved). They just assumed we were all the same. Hubby just agreed with them because it's safer that way. It was all "uh huh" and "yep" and get the hell outta the convo quickly.

We've experienced the same here in Florida. We've been given, "The Trump Test" on multiple occasions from various handimen, even losing contractors as a result. We never engage, but the absence of liberal bashing tells them we're not Trump supporters. Even our cars. Both old Hondas, are tipoffs. Not all Republicans though. Many are also very kind to us, never discuss politics and treat us fairly. We'll treat our community well in return, and just hope extremists don't burn our house down.

Sail Away, I agree about impeachment proceedings, but implore you to dispense with the name calling. It's unhelpful, as many Trump voters now consider voting for Democrats in midterms.
