I think the idea of a 51st is stupid as fuck. Makes more sense that it becomes a US territory instead. Keeps the stars on the flag balanced, ya know?

Agree...let's keep it in increments of 5, then 6, then 5...so on. Balance is more important at this point!

When I see them on facebook on a hot topic, it's either anti Trump or anti guns. I always reply with "lol, you still can't vote or control what goes on down here and stuck in the nosebleed seats".
That's what usually makes them rage. But if they decide to engage with me, I do another shit post:
"You actually think being vitriolic and arguing with me using fallacies is going to bend my POV to yours? How Canadian of you. You sound vaccinated, boosted, and a fan of Trudeau."
Bonus points for finding in their profile about loving others and empathy and then screenshot it at them asking to "Explain the insults here and this on your profile, because they don't match up, eh?"
lulz.

Besides - it would actually be an addition of 10 states and 3 territories...
...can you imagine how many electoral votes they'd get as a single state with 41 million voters?
C'mon man - you know - the thing

One thing that struck me about (most) Canadians - they put a LOT of trust in institutional sources. While I can understand putting a certain level of trust in government experts, the prevailing belief that the media was generally beyond reproach and would need a world-altering motivation to lie to them was truly staggering.

I would think some Canadians would appreciate Trump's attempt to strengthen ties with the US, because that's all this is. But hey, I guess the orange man is still orange.
I put this in the podcast thread but it's relevant here. This is Pierre Poilievre (our future Prime Minister and Conservative leader) talking to Jordan Peterson. It's the portion that was behind the Daily Wire paywall. He talks about how he plans to negotiate with Trump and makes complete sense.
Wait, but I thought Trump was "literally Hitler" and was like the "disinformer-in-chief" or whatever. So now you're saying that HE is the one that's all about "free expression?"
Interesting.
Interesting.
The majority of leftists in our country trusted everything CNN, NPR, MSNBC, The NY Times and the Biden administration told them, and that their MSM news sources were beyond reproach. These were the sources that for four years buried videos of Uncle Joe’s dementia moments. That’s why they were so shocked when he had the debate meltdown.

They've seen how supporting (or sucking up to) Trump has benefited others, I.E. Musk.
What's more likely? They've stopped believing Trump is bad, or it's all sycophantic gestures for them to keep/gain more power?
ETA: If there's on characteristic of Trump's personality that I think most people can agree on, it's that his ego is very easy to massage. Zuck/Bezos can very easily go from enemy to trusted advisors if they
The Canada thing is just part of the comedy act.
But Greenland's a good idea. Get Greenland away from Denmark and the EU and you can control the northern shipping lanes. Top that with oodles of natural resources including uranium, platinum, titanium....a full menu of iums.
Then you reverse the Dane's ban on oil and gas exploration and go nuts.
Besides, I've always wanted to visit Nuuk.
Remember the old USAF base at Thule? Home to these babies BITD.
Now it's a USSF base.

So does this mean we will have to learn French? Or can we just beat that nonsense out of our new American brothers???
I am actually all for those Canucks becoming America's. I like Canada, like the people, even if they are retarded and vote for stupid political leadership.
Hell between, Canada, Greenland, old Mexico, I think we are starting to shape things up good and proper.
Golf of Merica, the AMERICAN CANAL, AMERICA!

I fundamentally reject the binary proposition offered and propose a third option: that Trump was never as bad as the Left tried to portray in the first place and they spent the last 8+ years lying to the world about that, and countless other things, and now it has been laid bare and they know there will be a reckoning.They've seen how supporting (or sucking up to) Trump has benefited others, I.E.

I also don't agree that Trump's ego is very easy to massage. I do know that a whole lot of people have underestimated him for a long time, and that casually reducing him, and his followers, to caricatures contributed to him being elected president twice.
The "enemy to trusted advisors" thing is kind of how American politics work. As far back as Abraham Lincoln and continuing to Presidents Obama (Clinton as SecState), Biden (Harris, who called him a racist, as his VP), and yes Trump, "team of rivals" is more or less the default setting.
Fair take.
I don't think Bezos/Zuck/whatever other billionaire most other billionaires believed that he was "Hitler". I think they allowed it because Harris was seen as more "stable" and easier to predict.

Not even president yet, already positively impacting the things that the majority of Americans care about, like border security.

The CS nerds at Meta et al. have literally never been called into the Principal's Office, let alone been on the hook for some charges. Of course it would be easy for them to get bent over by the FBI Feds/Deep Staters/Censorshippers. Let me explain.
FB and Twitter heads, whatever other big social media company: Being a big group of college educated, mostly rich kids, whom in their lives have never experienced any type of brutal or risky living...when the first emails, or calls, or contacts however, came in from the FBI, these dudes were shitting their pants... there was no way they as a group were ever going to stand up to authority. These sissies were not going to rock the boat in 2020 and beyond. Literal Hitler 2.0 could've come in and made some demands to turn in their conservative neighbors and account owners to the fire pits.
Big heads in silicon valley were already overwhelmingly liberal, soft, non confrontational people. Not a fistfight between the dozens of them. They fit right in to the masking, doom and gloom crowd to bein with. It wasn't a desire to crush their opponents, they probably don't even think like that. Just go along with the crowd. Zuckerberg himself has said the FBI threatened action if they didn't work against the anti-vax crowd, the "alt-rights", the "white supremacists" if anything was to happen. Right after the BLM/George Floyd protests and nationwide looting going on, there was no way in hell the soys were going to put a stop to it.
It took years of hearing Joe Rogan, a little Bill Maher, Megyn Kelly and other popular non-MSM personalities that never fell for it, for Zuckerberg and them to have the balls to even come forward about the pressure the FBI was putting on them.
