Wait I know I saw this article like two months ago. Is that what you Canadians have been up to the past 8 weeks? Just sitting there in a constant state of worry?
Am Canadian. Can confirm.
Yep. Can confirm as well. And a weaker US democracy would create a power vaccuum in NATO that would very likely be exploited with the power dynamics in play on the global scale in recent years.

Canadians are correct.
I am not a fan of this idea, but Canada needs nukes ASAP. If Trump wins , we need a nuclear deterrent. I'm afraid we'll suffer the same fate of Ukraine.
I'd rather be wrong with nukes then right without them.
That's a bit overkill. America will plunge into a civil war long before Canada will need nukes. Many people won't suffer more of Trump's degeneration of the constitution.
That's a crazy slippery slope. US will never shit where it eats. Land war sucks and the US military is highly aware of this.

...unlike Republicans, who think democracy won't survive, but aren't worried because "their" guy will be the dictator.
I came to say exactly that. They are perfectly aware that they are going to overthrow democracy and it's not clear to me that they don't do it regardless of whether they win or lose.
Same Canada, same
I'm not sure it really deserves to survive if this country elects Trump a second time.
We took the same bullshit apologetic approach after the Civil War with “reconstruction” and look where we are now: rotten to the core with racists, sexists and xenophobes.
For the most part, historians view Andrew Johnson as the worst possible person to have served as President at the end of the American Civil War. Because of his gross incompetence in federal office and his incredible miscalculation of the extent of public support for his policies, Johnson is judged as a great failure in making a satisfying and just peace. He is viewed to have been a rigid, dictatorial racist who was unable to compromise or to accept a political reality at odds with his own ideas. Instead of forging a compromise between Radical Republicans and moderates, his actions united the opposition against him. His bullheaded opposition to the Freedmen's Bureau Bill, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and the Fourteenth Amendment eliminated all hope of using presidential authority to effect further compromises favorable to his position. In the end, Johnson did more to extend the period of national strife than he did to heal the wounds of war.
On top of my joy at another opportunity to mention what a shitbird Johnson was, a shittyness we are still feeling, IMO, the bolded bit sounds a lot like another President I can think of.
There have been two president Johnsons, one was a piece of shit and the other wielded "Jumbo".
