Sorta… But only about 65% of us voted in the last election and of that only 50% voted for these douchebags. And of those, most of them voted that way because of a single R. So I’d guess around 75% of the people don’t agree with what is going on.

So as a concrete example, I’m an American and I’d go out of my way to help most anyone but I am not the United States.

Sure not everyone is on board, especially how it’s going lately, but you do spell it out kind of. Only 65% voted, that’s 35% who just decided to like give up or something. A third of you. Then a third voted MAGA, a thorn other.

That’s the danger of the stupid third.

Sorry but the 35% who didn’t vote, knowing the threat of Trump becoming president again was looming, are no different than those who voted Republican.

The whole world remember his first presidential term. And we all saw the Project 2025 playbook. The US is in a mess of its own creation.

As a Brit, I too have lost trust in Americans unless proved otherwise.

both… after electing a convicted felon and rapist to the presidency for a SECOND time, Americans cannot escape responsability in my books

I can’t blame you. But to quote a movie … “A person is smart. But people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals…”

I never understood this stereotype (aboot vs about). I’m Canadian, lived here all my life, my family is all Canadian and all have lived here all their lives. I’ve got family all across the country, from the western coast of BC to the eastern coast of Newfoundland, from the northern stretches of Nunavut to the most southern tip of Ontario, and very rarely have I ever heard it pronounced that way. It’s actually really funny as a Canadian to look up “how to speak like a Canadian” and watch how awful most of the “tips” are. I’d recommend it.

It’s easy to tell. Just ask an american to say lieutenant. Spell it out and ask them to say it. I am not going to give it away so they start using it. You will know as we have a very unique way of saying it.

precisely, I don’t hate Americans, I just can’t trust them blindly

Explain?

I mean, it looks pretty chock full of facts when you look what the title says and the article…
Title:
6 in 10 Canadians say they can never trust Americans the same way again

The most revealing part of the article:

Six in 10 Canadians (60 per cent) say they can never trust the Americans the same way ever again, the poll found.

Seems the same as the title (to me, at least)

Added bonus pic to really ram home how the title and article are saying the same thing:

Over half of canadians don’t trust america anymore, so how is the title false?

After this nightmare is over, the Untied States need a complete overhaul

A country != the population, especially under dictatorship

Oh I know, I don’t blame you in the least. I’m losing trust in my fellow Americans. The whole process was just a major fustercluck. I woke up the morning after with a serious case of dread of what was about to happen. The apathy in this country is a major issue no doubt. I’m hopeful that as shit gets worse and worse, the apathy goes away. If it doesn’t, then Handmaid’s Tale becomes more of a playbook and less a work of fiction.

Same, never heard ‘aboot’ in my life. However, I do tend to say ‘-eh’ all the time, especially at the end of sentences as emphasis.
