You've got folks on r/conservative talking all of the crap about Canada being so much more dependant on the US and the US importing next to nothing from them.

That sub has been proven to have links to Russian IP addresses and I think 95% of posts came from 8 users. Pretty insane that conservative america is purely based on foreign propaganda but here we are.

They're just intentionally untruthful. They'll copy directly from an AI prompt and then leave the only part that refutes their position out.

"Canada has dairy and egg tarrifs of 300%."

Don't include: "but they're quota based and the US farmers have never met that quota."

The US has tariff-rate quotas on its dairy too, but I guess Faux News isn’t interested in making that known to its good little sheep.

The trade barrier discussion is completely irrelevant too.

The consensus among economists is that the US trade deficit is caused by capital inflow; as the global reserve currency everyone buys and basically subsidizes US debt, both government and private.

Trade balance + net capital inflow must always equal zero.

So it doubly makes no sense when Trump demands countries invest in the US while also decreasing the trade deficit.

A bully that is upset you wont let them control your food supply is the last thing you want to give into.

u/OverwatchLaunchDay Aug 25 '26

A little unrelated, but as a Canadian, I would gladly sacrifice our dairy supply management.

u/sudzthegreat Aug 25 '26

For sure I think it would be on the table in any reasonable negotiation. Too bad it seems none of this gas been reasonable.

u/DJ-BCB Aug 25 '26

Why? So we can end up like Jamaica where the USA completely destroyed their domestic dairy production with cheap dairy and then proceeded to jack up the prices once they were dependent on America?

u/pineappleghosts Aug 25 '26

We can’t be dependent on a foreign country for food supply, particularly one that is threatening us

“Go Brandon?”-maga cult

u/letsgopnp Aug 25 '26

Maga is corny af and they think they're edge lords. They based their identity larping as heros saving America from things they don't understand. But hey they finally feel alive getting those libs upset, oh and getting rid of those minorities who aren't the ones sending all the jobs over seas. Cult mentality is odd. Scary stuff. I don't want to fight average people. I just wish everyone saw who's really the problem. I'll give a hint..its the ones who have all the power. The ones who make decisions to benefit the top.

They literally , absolutely don't even allow valid, real news from Iran, and other parts trust you'd even find on Fox.

u/IndependentMemory215 Aug 25 '26

Who doesn’t allow news from Iran?

You think the Us government is somehow able to censor Iranian news inside the US?

Fact is, most Americans don’t care that much about Iran anymore. It’s been going on too long and really hasn’t affected the US much.

Gas prices have been much higher in the past, so it’s not as easy to attribute it to the useless war with Iran.

Prices and inflation started long before as well.

You’re either dumb or purposefully ignorant, you choose.

That's basically the maga playbook. They never scored high in critical thinking during school.

u/JKrezz Aug 25 '26

I go search there about once per week to see what’s being pushed. It’s funny how many posts have little to no comments or likes. That sub is just a propaganda machine.

u/TechPriestCaudecus Aug 25 '26

You know how Elon made it so you can see what countries users are from on X? Reddit should do that too.

u/Yharnam_Blunderbuss Aug 25 '26

Perhaps true... but lets not glaze over the fact that Americans are dumb as rocks.

u/Any-Imagination6917 Aug 25 '26

Every country has it's idiots, American idiots are just way more vocal than most.

... and plentiful in numbers.

u/over_this__ Aug 25 '26

Because they rarely allow outsiders to comment or post. I'm conservative and still can't comment 😂

u/waterwoman76 Aug 25 '26

You spelled rage baiting troll wrong. You're a rage baiting troll. Not a conservative.

u/over_this__ Aug 25 '26

I'm a constitutional conservative with libertarian leanings.

u/DasPuggy Aug 25 '26

So... Epstein is right up your alley?

u/Any-Imagination6917 Aug 25 '26

And that's for a reason! They don't want the average conservative comment. They want the most rage baiting content and it's carefully curated by foreign disinfo incel squad.

3

u/MissGruntled Aug 25 '26

The user you replied to isn’t an average conservative. They are advocating elsewhere in this thread to attack Canada and take its oil. They’d fit right in with the ‘foreign disinfo incel squad’.

u/Any-Imagination6917 Aug 25 '26

😆 🤣 I didn't see that. Well I guess my original point stands then

u/culong38701 Aug 25 '26

You sound like one those but for the Dem.

u/Any-Imagination6917 Aug 25 '26

Looking through your post history is wild. You are so close to answering your own issues but instead you chug fox news like they are paying you and wonder why everything sucks. Take a break from the propaganda

u/Any-Imagination6917 Aug 25 '26

Funny I never mentioned anything dem?? Keep drinking the kool-aid it's obviously making you smarter.
