I don’t know, my political positions if America annexed me would be to shift rapidly away from Liberal Nationalism towards total decentralization and abolishment of as much of the Federal government possible to return power to regional governments.
For that project, the far right are now my allies, not smug liberals who view me as a vote bank to funnel money to their pet NGOs.

These kinds of articles are always extremely dumb because they assume that the political parties would not change their strategies to appeal to new/different voters, and that voters have static, easily defined beliefs that pre-destine them to vote for specific political parties.
None of this is remotely close to how real politics works.

1. It won’t happen.
2. The more time he talks about this the less time he spends focusing on breaking other things.
3. If somehow Canada agreed to join the US it would actually be awesome.
We have to learn to stop taking the bait and let Trump be Trump. The American voter is extremely apathetic, fickle, and has zero long term memory. Pick fights that matter and focus on things that actually have a risk of happening and when you can’t stop it get out of the way and save your ammo for later. The *Resistance* of the first term achieved jack shit and burned people out by whining about his every insanity. Then in ’24, with much higher stakes, nobody was even phased.

What is with this assumption that Canada would just be one big state? If merger were ever to happen, each province would be its own state.

If you are a democrat you may like if Canada joined the US so that there will be new Democratic seats. However you would like to emit Canada as multiple states, possibly nine.
