    Look what Germany had to go through to purge the Nazis. And it didn’t even take.

    That’s our future. Can’t happen here? That’s what the citizens of Berlin, Dresden, and a whole lot of other German cities said in 1939.

      That’s not our future. Germany had its Nazis forcefully stripped from power by foreign armies. There is no such force coming to liberate us.

        Not yet because it’s only 1936 right now. The invasions haven’t started yet.

        We are at the Reichstag moment in history right now.

        Give it a year and a half or so and see what happens.

          The US is un-invadable. Even if we didn’t have the second biggest stockpile of nukes to defend ourselves, we have the most capable navy. There is no way anyone could get close to the US, let alone invade.

          We have to pull ourselves out of this, because no one can come to save us.

            If a large enough group of allies got together something could likely be organised to come through the Canadian border.

            Probably with a shit load of Canadians added.

              They couldn’t, due to the aforementioned nukes, but even taking the nukes out of the equation, if the US thought Canada was going to be the staging ground for an invasion, there would be a US invasion of Canada. You could not stage all of the world’s armies there in a fast enough time. To get the mass of people there that would be necessary, it would take a lot of time.
