Candian here.

Do not come north.

We cannot house and feed you. Most of you will die of exposure the first winter you are here.

If you have thoughts of coming here with guns and taking our homes or food by force know that most of us outside the cities are armed, we're just not so scared that we constantly show off our guns and feel no need to go prepared for combat to buy donuts or groceries.

So, Mexico is your best bet, if they will take you. I bet you'll be glad that all the talk of a border wall was just neo-fascist virtue signaling.

Find new loopholes to exploit. Adapt and overcome. Possibly buy some some snacks.

Step one: Buy a few firearms, for different scenarios (which should be easier under Trump sigh)

Step two: Go to work, home, and limit unnecessary errands, order for delivery more.

Step three: Practice marksmanship with various firearms. I have a country, but sane, friend of the family with a shooting range on her land.

Step four: Hunker down in my deep red state, because I hold non-christian belief's and I won't recant them on pain of death. Not because my beliefs "protect" me, but because as an American, I believe in freedom of religion and I'll die a proud American before I die as a Christian, my belief's don't matter compared to that. The protection of those belief's does.

Buy the firearms now. Regardless of the election results, you may need them.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Also ammunition. If shit really it's the fan it's a very tradable resource.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Works both ways. Buy firearms in common calibers so you can stock up easily as well.

Keep doing what I have been doing - dragging MAGA fence sitters back from the brink one by one. The ones who have adopted Trumpism as their religion are too far gone. But there are a lot who just need to be taken by the hand and shown a better path.

When you see MAGA BS, challenge it with well-reasoned arguments. The object really isn't to change the mind of the poster. It's to prevent them from changing the minds of others.

Yeah, there's a huge difference in tactics depending on whether you're trying to comvince the person you're arguing with, or the audience.

The latter is soo much easier - often it's enough to back them into a corner where they out themselves as wrong whatever they say, and they'll quickly descend into a ball of rage.

Can you please give an example of a well reasoned argument that's relevant here?

I'm not sure of the relationship of reason to people that aggressively disregard objective fact and fluidly move the goalpost of their burden of proof.

I like to ask who will replace the main stream media, and how that won’t make them the new mainstream media.

Trump will eventually do something that gets between rich people and their money while also being an impeachable offense. The "sane" bussiness republican VP will pardon Trump after his impeachment and have him live out the rest of his life as a fox news call in guest until he died of "old age".

If we're lucky he'll piss off his Russian contacts and end up falling out a window by accident.

More likely is that this puppet will be used by bad actors to advance their agendas and as usual he'll distract everybody from the actual bad shit happening.

He just wouldn't follow through the moment someone told him his idea was bad for rich people.

Curl up in a ball and weep a salty creek.

The same thing I did the last time he was president. Absolutely nothing.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Correct answer. People thinking murder will magically be legal are insane.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (3 children)

However, thinking that murder will magically be legal for a sitting President as part of his executive duties, is slightly more based in reality.
