It isn't just Trump supporters. I've been having arguments with a friend who is most definitely NOT a Trump supporter. We're both Canadian and she has been obsessively talking about how people are foolish for thinking Trump can invade Canada or Greenland. Her obsession makes me think she's secretly scared too. Methinks she doth protest too much. I get that it's scary but it isn't going to stop being real if you deny it. Trump invading other countries is a very real possibility and various governments are taking it seriously, including Canada. Our government knows it's a real possibility, stop being deluded and saying it isn't. If he doesn't attack, I think it'll be because the international community put their foot down. I certainly see no reason to think the Untied States congress will stop him.

She keeps saying it can't happen because of various laws that would theoretically stop it. NATO. congress. The military being required to disobey illegal orders. The american people won't stand for it? What in the fuck does she think they're going to do about it? Vote months after it happens? She also doesn't believe he can stop elections.

Believing that laws will stop any of this crap at this point is delusional. Laws don't matter if they're not enforced. It's tantamount to saying it's impossible for me to be killed by a serial killer because that would be illegal. But with the serial killer, the reason they have a chance to kill me is because they haven't been caught yet. With Trump, he's been openly defying the laws and still isn't being stopped.

He does not care the slightest about legality. If push comes to shove, either congress, senate, or supreme court will be called to heel.

Just like anything Hitler did: it was all "legal", including the killings of millions and waging war across Europe.
