I’m Canadian and we have our own issues with far right nutjobs but I’ve heard the phrase “Project 2025” thrown around and the little I’ve seen about it frightens me. I don’t follow the news for the sake my mental health but could someone explain it in depth? What kind of a shit show are we looking at? Unfortunately Canadian politics would probably follow because of the huge cultural influence the US has.

        Largest undefended border in the world with one of the largest militaries in the world. I don’t know what to think, I’m scared for my family in southern ontario

          Actually, the areas where the millitary are based at will probably be the safest since there’s like a zero percent chance that they will be siding in significant numbers with the likely instigators of this hypothetical civil war.

          It’ll less be “the trenches have come across the atlantic” and more “The troubles but instead of centuries of religious differences and legacies of imperial oppression and division, it’s clem and the boys becoming domestic terrorists because they’d rather die than go back to the world where they knew shame.”

      It’s already bad enough that Florida is practically a small fraction of this in practice.
