I don't think we're prepared at all. Sleeping elephant next door is having nightmares, and hopefully doesn't decide to roll over.
Fascism 101 requires an external scapegoat to domestic problems. Canada and Mexico are the prime candidates for that, particularly if your solution is militaristic.
Annexing Canada militarily would be a cakewalk. But Canadians would vote democrat. So it would only happen after US democracy is suspended. We're safe until then. Ish. There's an order of operations anyway. Mexico might fight back some.
You underestimate how many idiots there are in Canada too. Look at the prairies for example. The Conservatives who are basically just lite Republicans pretty much run those provinces and worship Trump too. So probably close to 25% of Canada's population would be ok with America taking over...
Fuck off with your racism. Different ethnic groups are not Canada's problem.
