I’m a Canadian. Give me some hope that my country isn’t just about to be annexed by Trump.

Because I’m spiralling a bit. The border/fentanyl excuse for tariffs doesn’t make sense. All Trump’s comments about us being a 51st state. Clearly lying about the trade deficit. I haven’t seen anything about how other countries would come to our defence. Nobody wants a war, but Canada is our country. How serious should we be taking this? Are there any good forces left in the US that can prevent this? Where are the heroes?

Edit to add: I appreciate everyone talking about how dumb Trump is, and in his first term yes, he was surrounded by dump and incompetent people. This time not so much. JD Vance wasn’t picked at random to be VP. Watch some of the things he said has late as 2023 about Curtis Yarvin, or even today about Greenland. Seems something more nefarious is at work.

Edit: wow this post blew up. I’ll just leave this here for people that wanted more context on the concerns about Vance: https://youtu.be/5RpPTRcz1no
