        They just go along with whatever Dear Leader tells them. If he said he doesn’t want it anymore they’d change their answer immediately.

        51% of Americans are either for the annexation or don’t care.

          “Not Sure” is not the same as don’t care. A lot of users on YouGov don’t care about the quesioneer though, which is another thing. They would just answer “Not Sure” to all questions to quickly get their bonus points.

      I’m an American and I’m flabbergasted at seeing this. I wonder if those republicans can even find Greenland on a map. Or even Canada.

      Do I live in some weird bubble (SF bay area) and everyone else outside of my county is batshit insane?

      43% in favour or unsure of a hostile takeover of your long time ally and trading partner???

      I dont’t think “few americans in favor” is the correct headline here.

      “Nearly 1 in 5 americans support an unprovoked war against an ally” sounds more accurate

        That’s not the question asked and I really wish it had been. “Canada becoming americas 51st state” could easily be a peaceful, friendly transition (especially because a lot of people have been brainwashed into thinking the US is objectively the best country, so who wouldn’t want to join it?).

        At least “annexing” implies force. I want to know how many Americans want to use force against our closest allies.
