It’s not just Trump. It’s the Tea Party and Bush, too. We’ve spent the last quarter century looking over our shoulder waiting for the next catastrophe that Americans will cause and we’re sick of it.
Honestly I’m sick of American arrogance too, the American empire should balkanize and die
I’m sure that there is plenty of arrogance from Idaho to Georgia… the electoral college has given way too much of a voice for the flyover states even though they are the minority. I can guarantee you that the coastal communities in the States hate what our country has become as much as you Canucks do. Western Washington/Oregon/California have hated the maga movement from the beginning, unfortunately billionaires use it to pocket tax dollars left and right, and the simps in purple states are down for the billionaire cause despite the fact that they will spend hundreds of millions of dollars to elect officials who are against a universal healthcare bill.
Yeah, well said. I still think that America should balkanize
Are you also rooting for Alberta’s secession?
Nope
Over 70% of the country wants him gone, but from an outsider’s perspective, all they see is the fact that we voted him in.
It’s going to take a very long time to undo the damage caused by Trump. Nobody is ever going to trust the United States again, unless we put safeguards in place to ensure that someone like him can never gain this level of unchecked power ever again. And I just don’t see that happening in any of our lifetimes.
You’ll never undo it. America’s pre-Trump position in the world was due to the fact that it was the only major power left standing after World War II. After the rest of the world rebuilt itself America was entrenched enough to maintain its position through inertia. When that inertia’s gone, it won’t come back.
I’m Canuck.
I don’t hate USians…
( ALL people who are citizens of the Americas, South, Central, OR North, are Americas citizens, aka Americans. )
I hate both the national-narcissism which eventually blossoms inyo totalitarianism/cults, including the MAGA-cult,
& the abomination-methods of the MAGA-cult, the zionism-cult, the christofascism-cult, the islamism-cult, the manosphere-cult, the confucian-supremacism-cult, the various ideological-cults, the Physicalist-Matetialist-Existentialist Scientism cult which disallows all evidence falsifying it ( as Rupert Sheldrake has pointed-out there are multiple experiments which falsify that ideology/religion, but the evidence is simply ignored/denied, axiomatically ), etc.
Bernie Sanders, AOC, Mamdani ( & his Mom the documentary-director who made him become who he is, from what i’ve read ), & Snowden,
… ALL deserve The Order of Canada ( or whatever our highest-honour is ), for their loyal & upright representing of grass-roots people of their-own country!
That work of theirs makes our world better,
& Canada, being in our world, benefits from all such upright good work, everywhere.
Beauty, eh?
Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen.
🙏
Yeah, same here honestly
As a Canadian, it’s Trump
…AND his supporters
…AND you can throw in Christofascists
…AND Christian fundamentalists.
So since Westboro for me, personally.
started way before that, at least Bush for millennials.
I mean, OP said it started with Westboro. WBC formed in the '50s and really started getting headlines in the '90s. So, before the Bush millenials grew up under.
Hey Canada, a lot of Americans are right there with you.
Cool. So do something about it.
Thx Obama.
Obama had the power to nationalize the banks and arrest the people who engineered the crisis. But instead let them go.
Yeah, this unfortunately. Barack Obama is a f*CKING disappointment
Well to* be fair, Obama only had control of both the senate and the house for his first 72 days. Enough time to get some things done, but not a lot.
But I agree that he could have done more with the power he did hold throughout his presidency, as Trump has shown. Obama could have went buckwild with the executive orders. But alas, hindsight is 20:20.
Yeah, that’s why Barack Obama is a disappointment
I know but the point I’m making is that it’s not his fault. I mean the guy basically campaigned on being a centrist.
Somewhat. I don’t think he’s a COMPLETE disappointment. I mean he did kill Bin Laden and, while it was a pale shadow of what it could have been, he did oversee the most comprehensive reform to health insurance seen in at least a generation. Before him? You were fucked if you had ANY preexisting condition whatsoever.
He delivered a captured market to the most evil people in the world, STARTED the drone kill list, extra judicially killed at least one American,expanded FISA, obliterated however many fucking wedding parties and shit.
And idk if you’ve noticed, but the healthcare system in amerikkka has all but stopped functioning. We pay premiums and cannot get appointments.
Delusional obama fluff nonsense.
Many Americans do, too.
Yeah, Same here honestly
Not a single country on Earth that likes the US. Only the US claims to like the US, and even then it’s more propaganda fuel than anything.
except israel and russia, which only it is convenient currently.
Are you saying no country that likes the US is rael?
Yea, it’s not just Canadians. Everybody hates the US.
I understand why the Taliban were so miffed now.
Was this still a question? I thought that ship sailed long ago, with everyone but Israel.
Ah, who am I kidding, Israel hates us, too.
No shit.
Americans also hate America thanks to Trump.
Yeah, I can confirm this
I’ve hated America since I started becoming politically aware in the 90s.
everyone hates america.
By “no confidence” we mean no trust. When our closest ally declares economic warfare through tariffs, threatens annexation, and blackmails the opening an international bridge, there is no trust left. Canadians are smart enough to know this won’t end after Trump is gone. It will take decades to reverse. We will develop stronger relationships with other countries, something that we should have done earlier anyway. The U.S.A. can burn their own house down - we don’t care. Just don’t try to burn ours with it.
Could say sorry, but that won’t cut it. I just hope you see there are people here in the us that want all of maga leadership and billionaires to be dead and reject them. We just can’t convince others. It has to be in thier face because a huge chunk are in auto pilot. I will keep fighting, however I can.
As a American I don’t blame them
That is really hard to do. Canadians are super friendly so if you’ve pissed them off you must really be a dickhead.
