Legitimately what is wrong with these people?

They want a fascist leader and to invade their neighbours?

They know how that historically ends right?

Like the "you won't let me say a slur so I'm gonna be a nazi" thing was kinda supposed to be an overly reductive meme, but this guy's just out there living it.

lmao, no

Difference this time is it's overwhelmingly the most powerful military in the world as the aggressor, with nukes :/

May the gods have mercy on us, and prevent these fuckers from trying this.

Or they do, but correctly identified Adolph's greatest mistake for conquering the world:

Being Germany instead of America.

It was invading Russia.

This time the US is best buds with Russia.

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

the US is going to turn into the same thing as Russia, a Kleptocratic, ultranationalist, fake-religious gangster state, right now they're getting ready for the 1990s version of Russia where public assets, infrastructure and industries are carved up and sold to private interests, IE Oligarchs. Trump wont live long enough to see the end result, but America's next mini-Putin will make his play in about 10 years or so.

The actual issue was being easily invaded by land. The rest of the world's superpowers would need to invade us by sea, and even in the 21st century, keeping supply and logistics chains open across the ocean is actually pretty hard in a war with a peer who has more capacity to STOP your naval and airlift capability than you have of defending it.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

No no. It's not invading Russia that's the mistake. It's invading Russia IN THE WINTER.

An interesting thing about this map, the way these lines are drawn would all but guarantee conservative victories for a long, long time.

A bunch of extra, barely inhabited states, to give two extra electoral votes and a handful of senators to conservatives. I wonder if whoever drew this is aware that most Canadian conservatives are closer to American Democrats than American conservatives.

Assuming the conquered territories get a vote is a bit of a leap.

Yeah, any questionable voting area will get Puerto Rico’d.

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

outside of the far right / populist MAGA copycats in the People's Party of Canada, and a certain strain of Albertan Separatist types. Most Canadian Conservatives are leftists compared to the US parties.

even Pierre Pollievre who canadians are labeling as a Trump puppet, is openly supportive of many policies the GOP would crucify people for, like abortion, gay marriage, etc.

Good eye. Ontario is left as is so I guess they want another California in terms of population to seat ratio.

They don't know anything about anything. That's the problem

[–] Wes4Humanity@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

Lol... For them it never ended... Just a minor setback with 60 years of regrouping

To be fair In the US's case, when a fascist invaded a neighboring country they ended up robbing half of the Mexican territory. The better comparison would be taking what usually happens when the US invades any country, and then imagine that happening inside the US. You don't shit where you eat.

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Cartels already killing Mexican government officials, journalists, activists, the competition, the Mexican armed forces. Do they really want the cartels to declare the american equivalent as fair game?

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Yes, because the people cheering for this don't see themselves as potential collateral damage.

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Well, I'll say that no one, No one will be able to defeat the US militarily,

so it will end when the country tears itself apart in a civil war. Not when the Chinese or Europeans are at the gates of DC.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And is America better off with 12 (or how ever many) more states? And lefty states to boot. Lotsa luck fellas.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It would be ten, and also 3 territories.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I count 14 and 3 territories. NS, NB and PEI are small, but there. And Newfoundland and Labrador have different labels and so I'll assume they are separate states because that's completely stupid.

Keep in mind this is a bullshit flight of fancy from people as clueless as they are evil.
