President Donald Trump's United States of America

Sure...but you do realize I said now and not back then. And you do also realize I said nothing how he was perceived rather by what he was doing instead...quite bit of a difference there. I am no fan of Biden, but in comparison to what there is now...he likely could do circles around them. While I certainly can't speak for the American people, but if asked this...you might be surprised by the response (I wouldn't).

Well, I don't think they run polls on completely unrealistic scenarios and wishful thinking. But here is a fresh Gallup poll from less than a month ago that is the closest thing to the question you are looking to answer, and you might be surprised by the responses:

So, to this day Americans think that Biden will go down in history as one of the worst presidents, almost as bad as Nixon and a lot worse than George W Bush. As for Trump? Meh, but not nearly as bad in their opinion.

...because they continue to disappoint/disenfranchise their voters base because they never really do the right things [...] So the only the way they can win..is you know, go progressive.

DNC has gone out of their way to destroy every single progressive candidate at every primary that ever happened. Why would the party beholden to corporate interests, paid for and run by corporate money, why would they ever do something as counter-productive to their donors as running a progressive candidate? And if you think that they actually want to do the right thing or they actually want to win the elections, you are sorely mistaken. Winning elections is not their goal. Representing their base is not their goal. Doing the right thing is not their goal. Their goal is to collect enough donor paychecks. Progressive candidates get in the way of doing that.
And for the record, I also wish they ran a true progressive candidate and not a corporate shill masquerading as a once-progressive-now-turned-centrist, like Harris. But alas, for the reasons outlined above, that's not going to happen.

Canada could never defend itself from an attack by the US and there is no point trying to prepare for that eventuality (which will not happen in any of our lifetimes). Which isn't to say that Canada shouldn't spend on more defence capabilities - we should, but mostly in the north and off our coasts, not in Ottawa or Calgary.

By this logic Switzerland should dismantle its famous and formidable civil defense force since there is no way it could repel an invasion by Germany and or France and Italy. The fact is Switzerland's famous civil defense structure has been able to repel much larger armies for centuries.

Civil defense should be the sole focus for Canada. We should completely do away with expeditionary forces. What are they good for? Why does the Canadian Navy have vessels in the South China sea? Is NATO even relevant now that Trump has threatened to invade Greenland? I think about all the Canadian soldiers who died or were gravely injured fighting for the United States in Afghanistan. They gave their lives for an ungrateful nation ruled today by a deranged psychopathic president who has taken a sledgehammer to our economy and who has never had a single good thing to say about Canada or the sacrifices made by our soldiers who served in Afghanistan.

The objective should be to deter any attempt at an invasion of Canada by the Americans by making the losses in terms of American blood and treasure too great to make it worth it for even an unhinged lunatic like Trump and while we are at it, we need to get nuclear weapons ASAP, like yesterday!
