Democrats have won the popular vote in every election but 1 since 1990.

The Democrats would have won every election since 1988, if voter suppression was not a thing.

The election for President was stolen...not lost. Big difference.

No, it wasn't.  It was lost. And he's willing to have people die so he doesn't have to admit it.

Don't focus on the weapons....focus on the will to fight.

Rioting and looting are preferred by the Biden folk.

Those people are not political.  They are criminals just looking for an excuse to stir up trouble. Additionally, they have found that Trump supporters like the Boogalo and Proud Boys infiltrated these groups, and wore antifa clothing, and proceeded to smash windows in stores, and incite violence, to make it look like it was done by BLM/antifa.

It had nothing to do with the Union victory during the civil war. The British would have fought with us, regardless if we were a country or not.  One can actually argue that it had more to do with Western expansion, and the desire to form provinces in Western Canada, British Columbia in particular.

 

Britain feared the Union...and rightly so. The British Navy had become obsolete overnight requiring a refit not complete until Jutland. The million plus strong...victorious...Union Army was looking for new frontiers. Shall it be west and the Indians? South vs the Spaniards? Or shall it be north to the salty British who supported our Confederate enemies??

Hmmmmm....choices.

Ah yes, like all those from your last civil war that sought refuge in Canada?

When the guns fell silent, many Confederate leaders fled to Canada, including General George Pickett, who led Gettysburg’s tragic final charge. President Davis’s family had been in Quebec for some time and, after his release from prison, he joined them. Cheering crowds welcomed his appearance in Kingston, Ont., Toronto and Niagara Falls, Ont.

Sure...standard messaging to defend the rioters and looters.  If they want to burn down their blue cities...that's fine, but the rural counties won't stand by for that shit.

Lock and load....open carry.

The British Navy was considered the best in the World up until World War 2.   Why would the British fear the Union, when they had soundly defeated the a united America 50 years before?  It makes no sense.

And don't forget your contribution before you die.  In fact, some kind of bequest...

The Union Army was superb by then. Rank upon rank of determined veterans with grim looks of seeing many battles won...

Rural areas just were not worth fighting for.

Personally, I'd rather die in America than live in Canada.

But that's just me....

Now all you need are drones.  How many squadrons do the deplorables have?

I wish the Union Army had invaded British North America at the conclusion of the Civil War.  It would have been nice to annex half of New England, and much of the West, including California. It would have given Canadians a place to go in the winter, without freezing our nuts off.

That was a Reb invention...of course*...but exploited to its logical end by the industrialized North.

*Jackson's move by rail at First Bull Run.

I don't know.  They have some nice caves though, and occasionally they get to cook the goat they eat.

Yes...even tomorrow.   I don't flee to other nations when it becomes "uncomfortable".
