i really wish someone could explain to me how any of what is going on politically in the US right now will yield positive results? it feels like absolute madness! actually, no, not madness, but rather some kind of calculated destruction of a civilization.
i don’t even understand how this guy actually even claimed the throne? i don’t have a huge sample size to draw on, but i do know a handful of americans and all of them, without exception, are disgusted by what’s happening. i have yet to meet an actual, genuine, non-ironic trump supporter. i mean, they must exist right? they must exist in large enough numbers to have actually voted him into power, right?
i was told that i don’t know any because i don’t associate myself within the circles where these mythical creatures exist. that is to say the hyper religious rural crowd as well as the exceptionally affluent and disconnected populace. and i suppose that is true, i don’t really know anyone from those circles. are they really the ones responsible for this madness? at some point even they must realize that they are on a path to destruction, right?
furthermore, i am noticing more and more anti-canadian sentiment online and it really has been upsetting me. so many americans appear to be angry with canada and believing we’re the source of illegal immigration into the US, that we’re the source or fentanyl coming into the US, that we’re a leech of the american economy and that we should be dismantled and repurposed for the benefit of the american people…
holy fuck… guys… take a breath. we’re not, nor have we ever been your enemy. you’re being lied to. please see that before it is too late. we’re friends, we’re partners, we’re colleagues, we’re neighbors, heck, we’re family. please don’t destroy everything we have both worked so hard at building.
i feel like a complete passenger on this nightmare ride. there’s very little i can do to help or hinder any of this. most people here in canada are doing everything they can to boycott US products and services… unfortunately i worry that will do little to help the situation, and may only make things worse. yet, i feel a patriotic obligation to do so anyways.
perhaps i should re-evaluate where my money goes.
