Canuck here. When is the Civil War kicking off? I'm sure they'll be a fair number of Canadians who will come and help remove him from office. We'll for sure send some of our highly trained Canadian Geese to assist lol

When the Civil War happened there was a somewhat clear division between northern and southern states due to slavery, but now that division is between neighborhoods and houses, amongst families and coworkers. Add that into life in a surveillance state and it's going to be hard for a civil war to gain traction I think. But I'm sure any day now those 2A nuts are going to go up against the tyrannical government they have been prepping for, right?!

This explains so damned much of their behavior. I for one look forward to these operatives helping us out with our myriad domestic issues.

Can y'all train the geese to burn down the white house?

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 days ago

We can't even train them not to shit all over the sidwalk, so probably not.

When is the Civil War kicking off?

The people who care the most about saving this country have the most to lose, while those who lick the boots of the fascists are too mentally and physically infirm to fight.

So yeah, the answer is never. Sorry.

Especially when one of the boot lickers is the ranking member of party that should be making the most noise right now. Instead they support the Cheeto with more budget to keep working on ripping the country apart as well as pushing it's closest allies away.

The party who should be starting the civil war has spent the last two generations screeching about how evil it is to arm yourself.

You really just need one angry mounty.

Perhaps there is an reincarnation of Saint Olga in Canada? I bet she would be more than happy to deploy pigeons as self-guiding munitions, with geese serving as living drones on the battlefield.
