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.
