      … Its incredible to me that you managed to frame this as Canada somehow being the assholes.

      No, us Americans are the assholes, for every moment we sit around and cry on the internet about how much this sucks… and not actually fucking do anything about it.

      History will look back at us, correctly, as a bunch of dithering, pontificating, self-victimizing cowards, if we don’t actually do something to end the Trump administration as soon as fucking possible.

      The entire Western world is financially, economically and geopolitically oriented around us, our military, our currency. We were the hegemon.

      Every moment that Trump and his ilk are allowed to do the insane shit they are doing, where the broader US people are not forcing him out of office, will be remembered as a moment the US population was broadly in tacit compliance with all this geopolitical version of a temper tantrum, thats causing at least hundreds of thousands of direct, uneccessary deaths, and trillions of dollars of economic destruction, around the world.

      Canada has every right to be … not even smug, they’re not smug, they’re just trying to point out that we seem to just be fine with having all our rights stripped away, because the way this works is, if we weren’t, we would actually be doing something about it.

      We are the assholes for not stopping this right the fuck now.

      Dear Americans. You voted for it. We rejected our far right politician. We can be smug. Suck our Canuk dicks.

        Canadians were ready to vote in the conservatives until trump pissed them off. Instead Canadians voted in a party headed by a banker who’ll also financially raid the country but with decorum.

      Dear Americans, we have a functional government

      I feel comparing yourself to the US isn’t a fair standard.

      They have every right to do that and we deserve it, because our government is fucked and our citizens think voting is enough.
