      And even that’s bullshit, his approval rating dropped to 34% last term. These guys can’t even look up a Gallup poll on Wikipedia…

    Every time I see headlines like this I think:

    He told us he would ruin it. For months. He signed the plans to ruin it weeks ago. He’s been organizing teams of people to fuck it up starting a few days ago. Canada has been not only openly reporting on this as a major issue but even going so far as to run advertisements on Fox News informing people about it, but people only start to fucking notice it after the fact, like this really blindsides the majority of Americans!? Buffoons!

      As a Canadian it is god damn terrifying. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be a US citizen under the control of a dictator right now. Watching your fellow citizens be sent to death camps along with lots and lots of other people just unfortunate enough to be brown, tattooed, born in the wrong place or a woman who fights for immigrant rights.

      Then the racists cheer and heil Hitler.

      It’s crazyness but it’s been brewing for a very long time. Hopefully it wakes up lots of my fellow Canadians so we don’t end up in the same place you are.

      VOTE!

        Exhausting. Trumps second term is making his first look like a holiday. It’s so bad it is hard to find words to talk about it because there is just so much to talk about.

        Well you can kind of relate because Canada were no saints to the native americans: politicians and officials were apologizing for that as recent as 2015 as the 2008-2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada reported on the century of abuse and mass graves of children.

        But yes, it’s all awful and we need to stop it immediately.

          That’s bullshit. Take your lumps.

          Our government is still fucking the Natives today. No doubt about that. You’ll get no argument from me. They’re ignoring supreme Court rulings and acting like dictators when it comes to the native population in our country since before it’s inception. Truth and reconciliation is a lie! If they wanted those things they wouldn’t still actively repress the population, keep them poor, sick and seen as second class citizens as well actively pursue continual court cases to avoid representing the native population in any way. See dental care for northern native and Inuit children as an example.

          Right now they’re attacking their fishery in the east coast enshrined by law that they ignore since 1999. All parties. No one has done shit about it. They keep them oppressed and fighting with the local population to ensure no action is mounted against the government. Fascist fucks all of them. That’s just one issue in an ocean of issues.

          However…IF YOU’RE CANADIAN, GO VOTE!..in order to correct our mistakes as a population we need to avoid the admitted fascist in our race for PM.

      I mean isn’t this pretty much how people are now? Refusing to heed any warnings until it’s too late. Complaining that everything sucks after ignoring said warnings, and then instantly forgetting anything ever happened the millisecond the trouble passes.

    4 use pigs to incite violence

    5 martial law, suspend constitutional rights

    6 cancel elections

    I’m not an American, but how could anyone convince themselves this guy was anything but an economically illiterate buffoon?

    If he wanted to bring manufacturing back to the US, the worst thing he could have done is break the relationships where they get cheap resources from us Canadians and materials like rare earths first.

    Now it’s a bigger hurdle than ever to manufacture in the US.

    Now we’re all galvanized against the US, we can all make deals with each other in an “the enemy of my enemy” way, and everyone is divesting of American financial leverage for fear of being extorted over it.

      They are the types to put all the rich on a pedestal of earned success. They just cannot wrap their heads around the idea of a rich idiot, especially an old one. It’s an oxymoron to them.

      It’s because of the non-stop propaganda from right wing news outlets like Fox, breitbart, newsmax, talk radio, etc, where they constantly pretend that things Trump does are somehow good. People get programmed to believe it, then go around repeating the talking points like mindless automata.

    And the MAGA’s are glad to have empty pockets as long as Trump gives them more booeymen to fear and look down upon.

      I see them in news clips from your country all the time. It’s crazy. Yea I have way less and stuff is more expensive but isn’t he just the best. The greatest. Oh my work might shut down next week. Damn Canadians. We’ve been supporting them forever. He’ll fix it though. He’s going to make all the things that are wrong, right again. They’re like zombies.
