For the next 4 years, at least, ANY ALLIANCE WITH THE US IS A SECURITY RISK FOR US.

I am sorry to tell you but it is going to be that way for much longer than four years, not that I think Trump will last more than four years he may but that is a question for later. I do however see the next administration holding a grudge against Canada for a much longer time as we do more to avoid the US as they have shown to be a less than favourable partner.

The survival of US democracy is dependent on whether Trump croaks before his term is up. If he's still alive when his term is up, he's not leaving. Then that's the end of US democracy and either it's a civil war or they become an authoritarian regime with a slow decline. In which case, yeah they'll be and adversary for Canada for decades.

But if he doesn't last the term (he's old and not all that healthy) my guess is JD Vance lacks the popularity to make authoritarianism stick and will either be voted out or there'd be a coup if he tries to quash democracy. Whoever replaces him would not want to continue the failed policies of that regime.

So it all depends on how long the Fanta Menace lives for.

Yes however if he crocks prior to his 4 year term is up, the die hard MAGA crowd will believe he was murdered. If you think JD will get to be president I have a story to tell you, he will not be president it will be Musk.

Musk will gut the government even more than he has already, Musk’s baby shield has already told Trump he is not president. Some people have claimed that Teil will become president as he is running things from behind but Musk has been in front of the people and will have an easier time becoming the dick, or I mean dictator.

Elections are a thing of the past in the US, if Trump makes it through his four years or not.

These links are made in a way where they can just be dropped every 4 years. This is going to be lasting damage.
