    That is true, but I would imagine the average lib in western countries would take any chance to go back to brunch, even if nothing has changed materially. Though as they continue to squeeze their vassals more and more, that sort of “head in the sand” attitude will become more and more unacceptable, hopefully people don’t fall for it long enough to do lasting damage and result in US vassals being too weak to actually fight back.

      Oh for sure, you can really see how Canada and Europe were pushing each other out of the way for a turn to crawl up Trump’s ass. They really would rather be abused by a white nation than cooperate with the rest of the world. The problem they have, as you point out, is that declining material conditions are turning the public against them. We see it happening most prominently in Europe, but the situation is fairly tense in Canada as well.

      This is all going to be interesting to watch in the coming years. The US has a lot of vassals, and maintaining control over them has to be a very resource intensive operation. Up to now, the vassals policed themselves, but with the domestic public becoming restless, that might not hold for long.
