    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.

    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

        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.

    So the data shows explicitly that it’s not Americans but Republicans but well just go ahead and generalize.

    Fantastic journalism.

      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?

    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.
