    Please don’t burn the Tesla dealerships. They can’t sell them and being able to reclaim some of their investment from insurance payouts would slow their ruin.

    As far as the White House, we’re already tearing it down on our own.

    At this point, probably would be better to sanction our billionaires and nationalize the assets of American corporations. Oh and please admit more of those of us that would like to escape as immigrants. (Can America afford the brain drain? Hopefully not.)

    In 2026 Trump was mad, he was the president you know.

    Well he thought he’d tell the Canadians where they ought to go.

    He thought he’d invade Canada, he thought that he was tough.

    Instead we went to washington, and burned down all his stuff!

      Half the country is being torn down at this point… I’ve honestly never seen any country do so much damage to itself without any gain whatsoever. Only Trump himself (and perhaps some of his friends) seem to have gained anything at all…

      Although, I guess it does kind of have old school Russia vibes now I think about it.

        Only because you weren’t alive to see Nazi Germany.

        … I think I used the phrase ‘national auto-lobotomy’ around back this time last year, when the tariff train started to get a’rollin.

      As an American who knows my own country’s history…

      You have no idea how much I love citing that entire war as an example of how military adventurism can be very bad and stupid, and also an example of / push off point to go into how Canadians tend to significantly punch above their weight in basically all military conflicts they’ve been involved in.

      Yeah, sit down GI Joe, lemme tell about the time we got our asses handed to us and lost nearly (or just actually?) every single land campaign of that entire war… to the Canadians.

      (Or at least their forebearers, if we must be pedantic.)

      Lemme tell ya about how US special forces came about as a collaborative effort of largely US and Canadians sharing notes during/after WW2.

      Lemme tell you about how their standard issue infantry weapons are basically no bullshit, more reliable and rugged and practical versions of what we use.

      When the Canadian ceases being polite, know that you have fucked up royally.

      The USA “won” the War of 1812 the same way it won the American War of Independence, paying to maintain control wasn’t worth the gains of maintaining control.
