    This is exactly what they want to happen… most people are not actually bad people, they want better standards of living just like you and everyone else.

    Some people are terrible and racists… but most people are tired of struggling and the rich getting richer… they just want their jobs back and to do what they are used to doing… they want to be okay because everything is fucked up…

    They are being lied to, you are being lied to… everyone is being lied to…

    Not everyone has forgotten their humanity, the people in control who want you to believe so, are the ones that keep telling you that they have

    No matter how good a person could be, I wouldn’t trust them if they are easily manipulated in believing BS. I won’t hate them, but I won’t trust them.

    Anyone with an bit of judgement could see what Trump was. And yet he was elected. Twice!

    So all these “good people” have cpntributed to elect a fascist twice already. You want me to trust they won’t elect another one after him? That this is a two times mistake and Canadians can rely on the US after that?

    Nope.

    Maybe they were lied to about Trump. They will be lied to again by others about other fascists.

    You can blame education, oligarchs propaganda, whatever. Point is: Canada can’t rely on the USA, even if Trump goes away.

          Well, for that you’d have to talk to a certain English colonist named “George Washington”.

          During a time when the English and French were technically at peace, this “Washington” fellow, a Lieutenant Colonel in the Virginia Regiment, ambushed a French detachment of 50 men, killing them all, including their commander who had been carrying a diplomatic message for the British.

          This “Washington” fellow was a real fuck-up. Not only did he kick off the French and Indian war (also known as the 7 years war) by ambushing and killing a diplomatic courier during a time of peace, he then holed up in a fort which the French attacked and then he surrendered. When he surrendered, he signed a surrender document in which he took responsibility for assassinating Jumonville, the diplomatic courier.

          This dude continued to fuck up too. He resigned his commission after this because as a colonial, he wasn’t allowed to have the rank he thought he deserved. A year later, he signed on as an aide to General Edward Braddock, who was planning to expel the French from Fort Duquesne. Washington came up with the master plan of splitting the army into a main column and a second smaller “flying column”. The French and their native allies ambushed the divided army and killed 2/3 of them, including General Braddock.

          After a series of mistakes like that, I can only assume this guy faded into obscurity, forgotten as yet another failed son of a rich aristocrat. History is full of rich children like that who think they can play at “army” but who just keep screwing up.

                Do Canadians say “left-tenent” like Brits?

                  It’s not ending any time soon. The US supreme court will remain a theocratic conservative majority for most of our lives. Regardless of how old you are. You will be quite old by the time that changes.

                  A brave-enough Congress could overhaul the Supreme Court, as they had in the past.

                  Unfortunately that level of courage is missing from most current politicians.

                    Balkanisation might honestly be the only solution; but that would involve the US giving up its current position as the only remaining global superpower.

                          Individuals are to be assessed and judged individually based on their own merit; but trust in the collective, particularly of those in a position of power has eroded so enormously that the ‘benefit of the doubt’ is lost.

                          There’s no choice but to assume the worst will happen; because of this, I will NEVER live in America. It will be a long long time before I even consider visiting, and for the foreseeable future I will continue to make an effort to not buy American products.

                          I’ve been removing American tech companies from my life over the last 5-10years, but I’ve been stepping up those efforts more recently and this is only more encouragement.

                          I’m lumped in with these people

                          Maybe at first glance, but first impressions aren’t everything. Everyone deserves a chance; keep your chin up m8. I wish you the best of luck in this crazy world. 🇨🇦

                            They probably should have. It might have changed history a bit if they had.

                              That’s one of my favorite facts about the long storied history between Canada and the USA.

                                You would be amazed at how easily you can be manipulated…

                                You will probably sit there and say not me never, but you probably have been manipulated and tricked into thinking differently and didn’t even realize it…

                                        And you’ve been graceully and entirely missing the point of my comment. So maybe you should wonder what state of mind you’re in right now?

                                        It looks to me that you’re more here to push a narrative about manipulation than discussing the topic.
