The people in the blue states are afraid for their lives.
This isn’t a situation where the people in the blue states need to be aware of the danger Trump poses to Canadians and the problems he poses for Canada and need to be made aware of it.
The people in the blue states are unable to afford much of anything now, not food, not healthcare, not housing, not transportation, nothing. And on top of that, they’re afraid of being disappeared because the Trump regime is disappearing people for no cause, because of things like having an autism awareness tattoo or like publishing a letter.
It’s not to say that what Canada is facing from Trump isn’t bad, but no, people in the blue states are MORE aware of the dangers of Trump than you are. Canadians are justified in reacting, absolutely, but people in the U.S. in blue states are not unaware of what’s going on, and don’t need Canadians to make them aware of these things.
Yes, but we have to move past the “it can’t be that bad for my business” and the “don’t blame me, I didn’t vote for Trump” excuses. Blue state residents have to actually stand up for their state and fellow residents against this administration. I’ve been impressed by some of the protests in LA in support of Mexico, but Sacramento, Olympia, Albany, Salem have a lot of legwork to do to protect itself from the Trump admin. Canadian actions are meant to spur individual Americans to action as well.
I’m sorry to hear what the blue residents are going through; and I’m sorry that I overlooked their situation over the last few weeks as I worried about ours here.
In my house, a short ways north of the border, we’ve been talking, lightly, about what-ifs. We never even planned around the refugee situation even before Mr Trump tries a sham war to deny the vote.
I feel there’s gonna be a lot of people ‘lost’ on their way through to Nome. I hope they’re careful and they have plans too. And I sure as hell hope those contingency plans never become necessary; and we can all laugh - ha ha haaaa ha ha - about it later.
We’re not even 90 days in and we’re planning for situations not seen here in 200 years.
Canadian here… i don’t give a damn about what the blue states are experiencing… They are free to leave the US and stop empowering our enemy with their taxes. I can guarantee, should trump decide to invade Canada, the blue states won’t do shit. When we retaliate in self-defence, we’ll retaliate against the entire murica, white, blue and red.

Oh you think so, hmm?
You think that a lot of us haven’t been looking at every country that might be worthwhile, including spending years learning additional languages, researching our ancestry several generations deep to find countries where we might be able to get ancestry, applying for literally dozens to hundreds of jobs on literally all other continents, and even taking IELFS training and tests and looking at industry changes for jobs just to be able to get out?
It’s not as easy as you think. Even Canada and Mexico have strict requirements that a lot of the people in the U.S. can’t meet.
Literally the closest comparison is the people who wanted to flee Nazi Germany.
Get some perspective. The people who you are complaining about are on the same side as you. We don’t want anything to happen to Canada, and if something does happen between the U.S. and Canada, we will be each other’s best hope.
It’s time to move past the salt. For one, it’s not helpful now, and it’s also not even true. There weren’t enough protest voters to affect the outcome. Worse, the latest information I’ve heard from Democratic Party analysts is that his margin of victory would’ve been higher if more people had voted.

I wouldn’t be, most of them stayed home on Election day to ‘punish’ Kamala.
They’re one of the biggest reasons for the turmoil in the world today, fuck 'em.

The election was won and lost in swing states. Voter turnout in swing states was roughly the same in 2024 and 2020.
Swing states win elections.
And because of the stupid electoral system, their vote is meaningless in presidential elections.
