"Conflict researcher Thomas Homer-Dixon previously told the Guardian a “fifth column” approach by separatists – working with outside forces to destabilize Canada – is a growing and increasingly realistic fear. He warned a looming separation referendum could fail but Trump could argue the results were “fake” and the US would move troops to the northern Montana border and tell the rest of Canada that Alberta must be allowed to join the US as the “51st state”.

“We need to be planning right now to neutralize this kind of activity, well in advance. Because it seems increasingly like disinformation campaigns, appeals for help, declarations that the electoral process was fake and was stacked are something we need to game out,” said Homer-Dixon. “The reality is, right now, we’re just sleepwalking into it.”
I have a hard time convincing a lot of my American friends that Trump remains dead serious about taking over Canada. But, I think it's obviously true.

Like, on some level this is about personal shit to him, because it's always on some level about personal shit to him. That's probably Stephen Miller's number one job - welding Trump's personal grievances to the larger fascist agenda at work here.
But someone told this Nazi fucking asshole that truly GREAT presidents expand the size of the United States, and he's been dead set on it since.

So, he tried Greenland, which that billionaire Lauder fuck wants too, but that door shut pretty quickly. Canada is closest, probably isn't going to be defended by the whole of Europe, and comes with the added bonus that you don't have to explain why you're making a bunch of Mexican people American citizens after spending billions to... eject all "mexican-looking" ppl from your ethnostate.

That calls back to the hubris I mention up-thread. They 'know better'…
FWIW? It isn't only fascists who ignore inconvenient facts. All of us do it in one way or another. It's a very human cognitive failure mode.
And it's a big reason I push Stoicism as a humanistic day-to-day philosophy. Because acknowledging your own faults is the first step in overcoming them.
The people we're talking about are Emoitionalists. They believe their feelings define reality.

@jackwilliambell @Tattie @ariaflame @cstross this isn’t about different interpretations of agreed facts. This is outright denial of facts and complete disregard for any higher order consequences of their actions.
