    We’re a lot less upset now that we see people actually fighting back - the protests, town hall zoos, Teslas spontaneously combusting…

    I’m torn between disgust overall and pity and wanting to help. The thing that leans me towards the latter instead of the former is that I can see the right here in Canada trying to follow america’s footsteps…

    I’m empathetic towards those who voted against this, but disgusted with the country on the whole.

      Thanks for your insight as an actual Canadian lol. We really are (and have been) trying to get this under control for years at this point. We appreciate you understanding that and seeing that at least it’s not all of us.

      One of my Canadian friends parents have trump signs in their yard and they are Canadian and have never been American or even to America. It’s really crazy that this is happening so many places. At least we can hope that people see where it’s left us and start actually changing their minds for the better for their own country. What happened with Le Pen recently might have happened regardless, but after seeing what not punishing officials leads to, I hope other countries learn from our mistakes.

      Good luck up there. I’m sorry this is where we are, but hopefully not for long.
