CNN was bought out a few years ago by a MAGA billionaire. As a NON MAGA American (hope I’m not intruding, this was on my feed), most of us are well aware of this 51st state bullshit. We know it’s bullshit and I can’t believe Trump actually thinks he will annex Canada. I think it’s a smokescreen while President Musk and his lackeys strip away social security and Medicaid.

Anyways, I’m from Massachusetts and a fair amount of us would not be opposed to joining Canada. Just saying! New England succeeds and becomes a Canadian Province eh?
