Oh, certainly. I would never say she was a good pick for the Supreme Court. She’s a monster who has turned on her creator, as so many of them ultimately do.

I must admit I’ve been surprised by how independent of Trump Amy Coney Barrett has wound up being. She’s ruled against him a few times now.

It’s still a step in the right direction compared to how the UK has enabled American misbehaviour in the past.

That evaluation is partly due to the rapid increase in the threat that America poses to world peace, and party due to Russia being revealed to be depending on Ladas and donkeys for logistics in Ukraine.

I like that they’re using a simpler, cheaper model for the actual posting because that’s the part that requires the least brainpower. Says a lot about social media.

It’s literally a result of insanity, so it’s not going to just “go away.”

They may not have chosen to leave, over the years I’ve occasionally encountered people who had a strategy of deleting their account and starting a new one every once in a while to get rid of old baggage and trackability. There’s no way to determine the percentage doing that without internal Reddit data, I assume.

There’s precedent. China made some trade deals with Nigeria and there’s hardly any ice hockey going on in Nigeria now.

Surely all of these problems would go away if teenagers would simply act rationally and do as they’re told. Has anyone tried explaining this to the teenagers?

“I regret that so many people are offended.”

Smaller populations make it easier to form social bubbles, I suppose. And this community in particular is focused on not liking something, so it’s easy to throw out a quick “ooh, I hate thing!” To get some positive engagement.

They were 37% Trump voters in 2024, so I wouldn’t bet on it.

Besides, I think it’d be unfair to the Turks and Caicos Islands, who are at the head of the “tropical Canadian island province” queue if they want it. Hawaii should wait its turn.

And they can’t legally join either. The Canadian constitution would need to be amended and ratified by at least seven provinces representing over half the population. That is never going to happen. Not for an American state that’s far to the right of Canada politically (ie, any American state).

Canada decides whether a new province is let in. Not Americans.

Sorry, if we’re getting this fiddly trying to explain how “they’re not extreme extreme right, just extreme right!” it’s not going to cut it.

Canada doesn’t want Minnesota. Not even the “good bits.” Americans are just going to have to sort this out for themselves. If individuals want to become Canadian there’s an immigration process they can apply for, they don’t get to just declare their chunk of America to be Canadian and bypass all that.

Even that would still be bringing in an extremely right-wing population.

The by-county results are here, the twin cities have 27% Trump support. The lowest in the state, sure, but that’s still almost a third of the population that voted for Donald Trump.

That’s twice the Canadian national average from the same time period. Those two counties considered in isolation are still redder than the reddest Canadian province.

Minnesota voted 47% for Trump last election. It would be the most right-wing province in Canada if it joined. No thanks.

They’re extremely right wing compared to the average Canadian. 47% of their vote went to Trump last election.

Ask them if they’re ready to give up their second amendment rights to join Canada. Ask them what they think about socialized health care. Bet a lot of that eagerness to join will fade.

They should sort their own problems out, not try to get us to do it for them.

Besides, we don’t want them. Too many Americans.
