And let me clarify the danger to America is from within not from Russia or the Ukraine
Some good thoughts from Kurt Schlichter. I actually hope he is right about America and our "protections". Personally, I think the American left is itching to give social credit scores and threats of banking confiscations a go. The already have pulled most of this on the January 6th protestors securing bank, phone and email records without any search warrants or subpoenas with no push back from the banks, telecom companies or the republican leadership.

Putin has sent has 100K+ troops into the fake separatist regions of Ukraine, and that’s bad. But the morphing of Canada into a fascist state before our eyes is exponentially worse. A garbage elite on our border – with the disgraceful support of 65% of American Democrats – has declared war upon the working class, outraged that mere peasants are refusing to submit to their betters. Due process, free speech, not beating the brains out of old ladies with walkers – these basics have gone by the wayside and our senile president, with his coterie of aspiring Castros – though Castro was potent enough to impregnate Trudeau’s trash mommy while our ruling class can’t make it happen unless they are on a Zoom call – have said nothing publicly. But privately, they are taking notes. They love the idea of criminalizing dissent – look at the January 6th witch trials – and they are taking notes.
And while Ukraine is bad, this is about us and our country and whether we will remain free or slide into a corporate-abetted social credit dictatorship.
I like Ukrainians. I deployed with them. I trained them in Ukraine. They like to party and they like to fight invaders. I get no problem giving them weapons to kill Russians. I hope the corpses of invaders are piled like cordwood as the Ukes channel the Finns when the Russian dictator-du-jour Stalin sent troops into reindeer land back in 1939. But the worst-case scenario if Putin takes over Ukraine – he’s actually only likely to secure some strategic chunks of it, but whatever – is that Putin adds Ukraine back into the Russian sphere of influence where it has resided for centuries anyway. As obnoxious as it is, we can live with that.
But we cannot live under tyranny here. Canada is right next door, and this is a dress rehearsal for the kind of tyranny our own garbage ruling class would love to inflict here. Sadly, the majority of Canadians and their disgusting MPs seem to support treating the Anglo-Saxon legacy of human rights and democracy like Eric Swalwell treats his boxers after a chili cook-off. They have proven themselves unfit to be a free people and are happy to slide into serfdom.
I don’t care what happens to a bunch of maple leaf sissies who prefer a thug-powered nanny state that suppresses dissent and scoffs at due process. I do care that this constitutes inspiration to Democrats here at home. And for that reason, on Kurt’s “Things I Care About” chart, “Canadian Fascism” is number one with a bullet.
It is tougher but not impossible for this to happen here. We have protections and structures that will help prevent that from ever having to happen again, like the Constitution. Canada doesn’t. Nor does it have a heritage of freedom as we do. Canada is packed with the invertebrate descendants of the crown-groveling traitors who fled when we held our last revolution. Submission is in their blood but, we can hope, not ours.
With our federalist structure, the kind of goose-stepping conformity the black-faced caudillo can impose in Canada is not possible here. You can have bastions of the kind of mini-fascism that unsatisfied suburban chardonnay women love in California and New York, but you can also have free states like Florida and Texas. That takes the pressure off – if you get tired enough you move to where there’s freedom (as millions have).
