Let there be no doubt, Trump is the symptom, not the problem. Vance is the President in Waiting (I predict he will be POTUS after the November elections), and he will be far worse then Trump ever could be. Trump is knee-jerk, Vance is cold and calculating.

But the good news is, based on the mud-slinging the Republican party is doing, they are really. really afraid they will lose the Senate AND the House in November, and they are trying to shore up support in America for their failed policies. They really, really need this trade deal, and Carney knows it. Unless they get a trade deal before November, the American political scene will look very, very different.

"Freudian slip"? Please. Try "Thiel Instruction".

[-] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yep, just trying to boil all of us from cold again for an invasion of FUCKING CANADA for chrissakes

[-] o0evillusion0o@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Kill yourself you little couch fucking dweeb.

[-] villasv@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago

Because it was on the cycle for weeks at a time when Biden did it

[-] pentastarm@piefed.ca 15 points 2 days ago

Holy fuck, what a fucking shit bag.

[-] ProudCanadianCitizen@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

And you thought Trump was bad? This is the next POTUS.

[-] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 4 points 2 days ago

That's his middle name.

[-] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 46 points 2 days ago

Would love to see Vance get hit in the face with a greased up cast iron pan.

Fucker deserves the absolute worst. I feel sorry his wife having ever had to be penetrated by that couch fucking “did you even say thank you” fascist gum guzzling back door whore.

I feel even worse for his children that have to say “that’s my dad”.

Go fuck a couch Vance, you fascist shit stain.

But also Freudian Slips aren't really a thing. It's more like he was thinking about a state and was talking about Canada and it just shoved itself in there. Like what he does to couches.

[-] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

That's exactly what a Freudian slip is though; is his mind, Canada and State are close enough to mistake.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Except this wasn't a "Freudian slip", it was part of his script awkwardly presented, then passed off as a joke by a person who has no sense of humor and no comedic timing.

[-] snoons@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

It has been awhile since I've taken psych, but essentially all of Freudian psychology is wrong.

IIRC in this case neither idea was related to each other. It's related to the idea of a "two track mind".

Unless of course he said it on purpose because he's a couch fucking coward, which is entirely possible.

[-] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I, for one, can't wait to see a President Vance. MAGA is a cult of personality. The reason why Trump chose him as VP is because he has zero personality. Without Trump's sociopathic charisma, the whole movement will eat itself.

[-] AnaGarry@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

That's exactly my prediction.

As hyperbolic as this is, I am concerned by how many Canadians dismiss this out of hand. I know many of you haven't had to actually think about imperialism until quite recently, but how do you think the US got into such an advantageous position over the Canadian state? Did it not occur to you at all in these past decades that US ownership over so much Canadian businesses and resources, and the converse dependency Canada has on US finance and commodities constituted a power imbalance that could he weaponized? What about the fact that virtually all internet information platforms are moderated and surveilled by US corporations, or that the majority of hardware brands are American-owned?

They're saying it in such a blunt way to correctly assert that the US can exercise that power imbalance to its benefit. Even if Carney's diversification strategy works, we're going to see a massive shift in the cost of living in Canada in the meantime, and it is already beyond tolerance for many of us. This is not good, and this is what people have warned against for decades since the neoliberal era began.

Edit: refer below for a description on what "neoliberalism" is, as I get the impression there's many people here who may not understand what that term means and think that the word "liberal" is just some vague attack on the Liberal Party (which, make no mistake, they are neoliberals) or "progressives."

No body cares what this gearbox thinks inside of the U.S. but Im sure his opinion is well regarded around the world though lol

[-] ProudCanadianCitizen@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

This is the next POTUS. The roadmap for Vance is to depose Trump after the 2028 elections and Vance becomes POTUS without being elected.

[-] rabber@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I will probably never step foot in the US ever again, sad

To downvoters - as a dedicated fan of heavy metal that's usually why I go there. Better shows and festivals than here and by far. Sad that it's no longer

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

My friends want me to go to the bluegrass and old time festivals in the US. Not a snowball’s chance in hell.

“Oh but it’s all camping and you don’t really spend your money there and everyone you see is pretty progressive at these events” except that’s not the point. I don’t want my name on that shit, or anywhere near it. I don’t want even the chance that someone thinks I’m remotely ok with that piece of shit country.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

This pedo apologist is out of his league.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

Shut up, Vance.

Vance is almost as charismatic as a shit sofa, even the maga base hates him. He may be prez in the future, but he will not have the same base.

Freudian slip: oops I said what I really think. But wasn't supposed to say.

Get fucked vance. Nobody likes you.

[-] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

If Vance or another MAGA favourite is elected to be POTUS, then I predict that the US goes the way of Israel.
