Meanwhile I am learning to dislike my fellow Americans to the point where I am starting to think violence might be the only viable solution.
And this is why everyone who says “they won’t invade Canada because too many people like us” are sadly mistaken. Trump constantly tells them how nasty we are and the media has started its disinformation to lay the groundwork for invasion.
Ukrainians a few decades ago would have said the same about the Russians.
I don’t know. Russian anti-Ukraine propaganda has been pretty consistent for centuries.
I would say “How would they identify which one is American or Canadian” in a skirmish but I look at what happened to Ukraine
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP repeatedly claims that the European Union was “formed in order to screw the United States”. Canada, America’s northern neighbour and second-largest trading partner, is “one of the nastiest countries”. Russia was “doing what anyone would do” when it bombed Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during a pause in American intelligence sharing. Our polling with YouGov shows how this rhetoric is reshaping people’s opinions about their countries’ allies.
A lot of Americans are poorly educated in international relations and politics and genuinely do not understand the fallout of Trump’s choices/statements. We sadly will all suffer to some degree because of this ignorance
What is wrong with this country…?
Same thing that was wrong with Germany in 1939.
The collapse of opportunities for the working class has lead to anger. The ruling capitalist elite have captured that anger and redirected it to innocent vulnerable people rather than allowing the anger to be correctly channeled towards them.
You mean MAGAts hate our allies. Decent humans love other decent humans.
Well, it is a “sin” to emphasize with others.
You do see the rise on the Democrats line too, no?
So the data shows explicitly that it’s not Americans but Republicans but well just go ahead and generalize.
Fantastic journalism.
Where is the line for enemies separating you from your allies so they will not be there when you need them?
No chart for Israel? Curious…
What do you think that chart would show?
(Aside from a huge drop in democratic popularity following the anti-israel media blitz following the Oct 7 massacre)
Do you think Republicans are the only ones susceptible to propaganda?
Fucking bootlickers.
Interesting that for Democrats Canada has had more “unfriendly” responses than the EU even before the sanctions. Maybe because the EU is less relevant to them since Canada directly borders the US?
Thing is, I don’t care if an idiot doesn’t like me. I know whatever reasons he has are invalid.
Unfortunately that idiot also has a gun
We also have idiots with guns (and bombs)
Not sure if it’s reassuring yet
Lmao
