    So what they’re saying is that Canada can win this fight if they’ve got good aim and a minimal arsenal of tools at their disposal. Got it.

    You’re assuming that these people give a fuck about Christianity other than as a cudgel for beating people up.

    I stopped reading Reddit entirely save for deshittifying search results, but I braced myself and looked at the conservative subreddit today, and even they think this is quite dumb.

      Hahaha I did the same, I was considering what rock I could turn to find them under and remembered Reddit.

      Can confirm, even they haven’t found a way of spinning this one. Their best shot was justifying this as an attempt of making Trudeau, who’s leaving, to look bad and ease up on the tariffs when the new guy comes in so he looks good and is more eager to work with Trump, but even then they see it as a shot in the foot.

          I glanced around old Facebox and mostly saw them yammering about trans people today and pretty quiet on the tariffs. It’s interesting.

            I made a post on there, first one I’m years, about how whoever voted for Trump can’t fuck right off. My sister texts me “oh dear brother. You’ve unleashed the Maga folks” which happen to be my brother and my other sisters ex-husband. I haven’t even checked my notifications to see what they said. I don’t need to read it. I know it will be ignorance. Anywho, take care of yourself

          I’d have to create an account, too much of a hassle.

          Edit: sorry about your family bro, it’s a tragedy that they got the US to chew itself inside out. I’m sure deep down they’re decent, normal people, who just got picked up in a vicious web of misinformation, hate and mistrust. Stay strong!

        They all seem pretty bewildered by this iteration of the orange rapist from the little bit I looked. I got the feeling that he doesn’t have a lot of support there anymore. Idk I’m not digging around but it’s just a sense I have.

    Yeah! Prepare yourselves! You’re going up against Cobra Kai!

    This is your end game and you’re up against Thanos is what I mean!

    You’re like that Mexican “Chapulin Colorado!”

    You’re like those blue people fighting Gargamel and his cat! You’ll never succeed! Never!

    Have you guys ever seen voltron, the thunder cats, robotech, ghost in the shell, the power rangers, you Canadians are just like that going up against all their archnesises! Yeah!

    I always find this imagery amusing. David is touted as this weak shepherd boy who is nearly defenseless in the face of this giant opponent. In reality, you’ve got someone who has trained to sling rocks with deadly accuracy. He’s basically the bronze age equivalent of a sniper, bro can send a 2 inch projectile at mach jesus straight for your dome.

      Prior to Goliath David was using that sling to defend his flock from wolves. I imagine it’s much harder to bullseye a running wolf than human with acromegaly like Goliath.

    You got right to the problematic issue: “read”. Reading is hard. Reading a long text is harder. Reading a very long text with complex meanings and referring to things outside the historical context of most readers, is very hard.

    I’ve read the Bible. Twice. I don’t think there is any action or concept by the current GOP where you won’t find a sentence in the Bible that is actually condemning this precise move. They don’t care, as they have never read it.

    They can only read at a 5th grade level. If stop signs didn’t have a shape and color there would be mass casualties

      Republicans for decades have targeted people with a 5th grade reading level. Trump’s main “innovation” was targeting a 3rd grade reading level.

    That’s certainly the first word that comes to mind when you hear Canada; Unfair. How rude of us to bully America around like that.

    No. They don’t.
    They have co-opted something they are too dumb and lazy to even understand.
    Any other questions?
