    I’m disappointed in the American people for allowing Trump back into the White House!

      It wont help you feel better but more Americans voted against him than for him the first time. Hell, even on the number of people who didn’t vote are framed as if it would change the outcome when unless they live in very specific locations it wouldn’t because the system is fucked.

      Not telling you to be less angry here, I encouraged Canadians to feel this resentment towards me and my fellow Americans. I’m just trying to explain the shitshow more than corporate interests care to.

        As disappointed as I am with those who voted for him, I’m equally sorry for those that didn’t. Good luck to us all 😔

          I agree. I just can’t in good faith have a problem with Canadians wanting to not be invaded. Me being sorry and not being at fault doesn’t really change the situation for them and I feel for that.

    Threatens to annex country

    Upset about smoke while denying climate change

    Actively waging a trade war

    Damm those Canadians are so rude and ungrateful with their civil boycott of american goods and travel. How could they develop such an anti American attitude? Bet this wouldn’t be happening if they would just join us already so we could send our national guard into all their cities and deport everyone we don’t like.

    I’m so sick of all this faux outrage bullshit performance art where they attack someone and then cry foul when people get upset about it. Calling it a trade war is “a dangerous place to go.”? You know what’s actually a dangerous place to go. STARTING A FUCKING TRADE WAR. We’re not the bad guys for pointing it out.

    Every time this guy comes to Canada, we need to ask him if Premier Trump would consider making the US the 11th Province. If he gets upset, we can be disappointed in that.

    I imagine his disappointment is nothing compared to the disappointment so many feel about the US. The US has disappointed the world — well, except for Russia, North Korea, China, and authoritarians in general.

    They know what they’re doing.

    Now they’re disappointed. Soon, they’ll be angry. Then they’ll have no choice but to do something about it. Mark my words.

        Prepare for war while we still can. If we’re incredibly lucky maybe we won’t need it, but if so, it will be because we did prepare and that made us an unpleasant and dangerous looking target. Bullies always target perceived vulnerability. We need to do everything we can to fix that perception. Even showing them this anti-American sentiment helps. They need to understand we will not be pushovers, no matter how badly we might seem to be poised to lose at least some territory and/or treasure if they tried to actually use force or severe coercion to take our lunch money, as bullies do.

        If we look like too much trouble, they may think twice and try to go bully central America or something instead, I have no idea how this will all work out, but I do know we’re in big fucking danger, and we need to do everything we can to make sure they know we’re going to become a big fucking problem for them if they try it.

          We have a habit of drunkingly burning down the White House when they attack us, so there is that.
