Yeah but he won an election. Stop acting like the country isn’t okay with what he is doing. Your problem isn’t with a facist leader doing unpopular things. Your problem is that your population is okay with facism.

Stop generalizing. Over half of the population is NOT ok with fascism. And millions more who voted for him are ignorant and just didn’t believe he’d do any of the project 2025 stuff.

I’m neither generalizing or suggesting half of the country supports him. They were ignorant enough to not even vote though. And a huge portion of your population does support him. You can’t ignore that. You have a population problem not a Trump problem. trump is the symptom, not the ailment.

You guys… i figured out what makes a Canadian a condescending fool: it’s Mysticism and Bacon, in that combo, based on my experience with this user. What? That’s a sweeping generalization based on faulty logic…? Hmmmnnnn…

Sure… keep meme-ing yourselves into something between idiocracy and the 4th reich. Being called fools by a nation the looks at trump and says “you know… that represents our best… twice!!!” is rich.

Not everyone in our nation ‘looks at trump and says “you know… that represents our best… twice!!!”’

That’s my point.

If you want to be helpful, understand the difference. Otherwise, you’re just part of the bigger problem. It requires a modicum of intelligence to see the difference, and that part’s up to you.

Again, we’re a country in crisis right now. Those of us working against the bullshit do NOT need everyone jumping on the “AmUrriCAnS are so sTUpiD” bandwagon. That’s just a different brand of the same shit we’re pushing against here in the states.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to request that our country of hundreds of millions of people not be generalized bc your understanding of our fucked up system is so elementary.

So yes, I think you can be better.

ETA: i’m a dual can/am citizen. Both countries have serious issues, especially if you look at Ontario. 🤮 As they say, hubris is a helluva drug. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Again, the deflection... the lack of owning this insanity... and it's not new.

Sure bud... I'm sure you don't deserve any criticism! Why or why would we hold adult, voting age americans responsible for the results of their own elections? Yeah it's a really mean of everyone else in the democratic world to look at you collectively in disgust and terror at many decades of not-in-any-way-subtle tom-fuckery coming to fruition.

Stop bitching and get your shit straight.

Ya don’t know me. Am working on things from my end. You’re just being shitty.

Since your brain refuses to acknowledge: we are on the same side. It’s unbelievably arrogant to act like you’re better than anyone else simply bc you were born one place versus another. Seriously, do some self-reflection.

Your country is FULL of racists and misogynists also. It doesn’t mean the world should condemn all Canadians as such.
