Canada should take him far less seriously. If he thinks there’s a foothold or believes he’s touched a nerve where he can infiltrate the minds of people, they’re maybe unknowingly - kicking the door for that debate wide open.

Canada should protect/prepare themselves, but not indulge him.

Careful

Oooo there are many points of interest in this comment that tickle my brain.

Please DM me if you wanna continue bc the character limit just isn’t enough to address this and I have questions to bounce off you 😂

1&2 Agreed
3 True & a horrible misstep

4 is interesting. Bc Idk if you do much by stomping out expression/press (even proven liars). U make martyrs that way. BUT if Dems professed to care as much about the Rust Belt as they do minority issues .. maybe they don’t have to battle a Fox narrative much.

True - tho they all lie.

These people see their Constituents as children who are asleep in bed and get annoyed at the fact they have to move the Elf on the Shelf to keep up appearances.

The ONLY way to combat it is by engaging in your community & getting people involved, at least in conversation.

It’s true - though times have changed.

I firmly believe that when you don’t make people’s lives better - on purpose, it’s easy to point a finger to show folks where they can direct their anger.

Republicans have used that playbook for a long time. They’re maybe not agreeing, but they’re consistent.

Everybody easy. Let’s not throttle each other like they want.

We’re so used to trolls on Twitter and IG just making noise. We’re all used to getting riled and defensive but we don’t have to do that here.

Let’s all take a breath, we’re on the same team. We’re just talkin.

Also correct, imo.

Which btw *really* rubs me the wrong way.. bc then we hear things like the quote published in this article.

“Wah wah no one wants to bargain w/ us”

Yeah, they don’t. They never have. Why do Democrats keep those doors open when Republicans are notorious for slamming them closed

Agreed

Tho can’t help but feel that’s indicative of the party as a whole. I don’t think anyone can agree on what comes first - so we look to them to say, Well what can you get done we’ll take it.

And then they never pick one thing to hammer through. It’s like the blind leading the blind I guess.

It will.

And that’s not to imply this is hope that I have, yet merely to say it’s an inevitable consequence I choose to recognize for the safety and sanctity of my family and its future.

It is time to familiarize yourself with how to survive, make plans to sustain your way of life.. and fight.

I’d have to agree w/ this, also perhaps adding that Republican voters trust their legislators. (Which is unfortunate bc their leaders lie) Yet still, they hold steadfast.

Dems are so busy promising a chicken in every pot they run out of time & leave us all w/ nothing but a handful of feathers.

Huh?

If what you mean by “viable margin” is “comfortable lead”.. ur side stepping the point, I think.

Republicans don’t need a lock bc they work together. Any power they have they wield it, viciously. Whether behind the eight ball or not.

Democrats do not act with the sense of urgency this age demands.

Well their opponents unapologetically - are.

The longer it takes the Dems to do what needs to be done, the faster we lose everything.

They should’ve learned from Trumps 1st round, they didn’t. They wasted their chance to push forward w/ everything they had & now, it is probably too late.

You know what IS their fault? Not jamming things thru & being relentlessly ruthless about getting shit done when they ARE in power. Bc SOMEHOW even when the Dems have all the power they need… the minority Republicans sure do find their own ways to derail them almost effortlessly.

Dems are losers.

To be honest, I’m really confused why anyone is even putting air in this balloon of an idea.

It’s not even an idea, it’s not a real thing. There’s no reason to even acknowledge it or for reporters to keep asking about it.

Trump just says shit because he can. He likes the chaos, that’s all.

Not strange so much as merely greedy & opportunistic.
