Summary
Donald Trump’s push to annex Canada as the 51st U.S. state is confusing due to its sudden and unexplained emergence.
Initially praising Canada as an ally, Trump now aggressively seeks annexation, imposing tariffs, criticizing trade deficits, and challenging established borders and treaties.
Former officials and congressional Republicans express bewilderment, stating they have “no clue” about Trump’s motivation.
Canadian leaders and the U.S. business community strongly oppose the move, citing sovereignty and economic harm.
Republicans also question Trump’s strategy, noting annexation would add millions of liberal-leaning voters and complicate American politics.
Yes, because they want “the right population.” Fascist ideals are often contradictory and self-defeating. The Nazis could have had atomic weapons if they hadn’t treated Jews as subhuman; that would have been a big help in their plans for world domination.
Their plan for solving their shrinking population is simple though; force everyone to have more babies. Remove all access to abortion, remove all access to contraception, destroy same sex marriage, destroy the ability for women to get divorced, destroy any form of social support that could help women who leave their partners, and offer incentives to families who have more children. Oh, and if course remove all child labour laws so families can afford to have more kids by sending them all off to jobs at Amazon when they’re 12.
(There are concrete examples of Republicans pushing every single one of those policies, in case you weren’t aware)
Basically, if you see women as nothing more than baby factories who don’t deserve anything frivolous like rights, population growth seems like an easy problem to solve.
