Dunno if Fox counts.
Can I blame Fox News?
absolutely!
i do!
With all the references to 45/47’s decline based on what he says and posts, like in this topic…
…this is what makes headlines at The Guardian (along with references to/pictures of 45/47 shoehorned into results even when using tags for stories about any other elected official or party):
As a former journalist, the utter failure of America’s corporate media to stand strong as a core institution of liberal democracy was one of my major stories of 2024. Between the coming regime and the advent of LLM slop, I only anticipate further degradation in 2025.
Nicely done rebuttal of a recent heaping helping of xenophobic stupidity farted out by Thomas Friedman.
He then goes on to express how Donald Trump’s tariffs and anti-China rhetoric jump-started China’s manufacturing prowess, mentioning how Trump’s name on Chinese social media is “Chuan Jiaguo” meaning “Nation Builder.”
No. It was not Donald Trump that ushered in China’s “Sputnik moment,” as quoted by business consultant Jim McGregor. Trump is merely an amusement to China’s general public– a strange American enigma whose hard lines are overshadowed by unexpected candor and comical behavior. For China, the last 40 years has been a continuous Sputnik moment– from the elimination of extreme poverty to unprecedented shift to renewable energy, China has been on the rise, and Donald Trump has never been the yeast making that happen.
Regarding TF’s claim that China needs to consume more of what it produces:
It is the fate of a capitalist to view nonconsumption as a societal malady rather than a sign of good health. The truth is those that consume less have other more nourishing and sustainable ways to fill their souls. At a time when consumerism and overspending are contributing to the destruction of the planet, this is a rather thoughtless point to make. Imagine if society applauded community-building rather than the pointless expenditure of money to temporarily fill a gaping emptiness left by a lack of community and an overemphasis on hyperindividualism? It is very American to look for quick solutions rather than address the root cause.
“Weird” out, “fascist” in.
Basically a logistical nightmare.
The thing is, the US military has been set up to fight simultaneous conflicts with Russia and China. Trying to spread troops across Canada, and supply them, would suck the heart out of that.
And we’d fight. Probably lose, but we’d hurt you. And meanwhile, Canada wouldn’t be guarding the northern borders.
Such an idiot.
Goddess forbid it comes to that - cut off the head first.

Let’s see if their efforts pay off:
Please remember to avoid the blue areas. We’re on your side.
Oh yes, it’s not a fight we’d ever want. And I hope the US military would be reluctant.
It’s just … Canada was in the room when the US and UK were discussing tube alloys, and we supplied the uranium. (Who invited that Russian guy in the corner?)
And then India developed their bombs using our Candu reactors.
I really hope that Canada isn’t a nuclear power, but that’s a bad bet for everyone.
eta: Canadian stormtroopers in WW1 were one of the reasons for the Geneva Conventions.
