Canada

I'm actually thinking of buying a gun, which is crazy because I've been opposed to them my whole life.

Gonna need you to do it again. It's the only way to get the orange stank and Russian bugs out.

we burnt the Whitehouse down before.

We need your help.

Two different situations. That was before the us had sunk trillions of dollars into its military.

Cool story but that is what Americans chose, yes. It’s your representative. Americans might not hate Canadians, but Americans only love themselves and will eventually learn that this leads you to behave selfishly and be hated.

This may not be you specifically, but more than two-thirds of Americans directly or indirectly chose this clown as your president.

The fight you want to join? It's already started. The people best positioned to stop this are being fired. The checks and balances are being removed or taken over.

Isn't it, though? Isn't this how the USA has treated most countries smaller than it? Less wealthy than it? Less white than it?

Growing up outside of the US, this behaviour seems completely in line with how the country has always behaved on the international stage, just pointed at one of the "good" countries.

Trump is the average Murica, Fuck Yeah type that we meet online all of the time, and have for the past 30+ years. He's the Yankee tourist that comes into our towns and expects us to accept their foreign currency, weather their patronizing questions, and cater to their idiosyncratic demands.

Trump doesn't seem like a surprise to us. He seems like the natural outcome of a country that has tooted its own horn on the world stage for 80 years, that has glorified its military and its military might, that has waved the phrase "American Exceptionalism" at its own population without irony, and that long mythologized its history. Remember, fascism was popular in the US 90 years ago. The only problem y'all had with the Nazis was that they were German. I mean, if you use Ur-Fascism as a checklist, the USA checks off most of the boxes on a good year.

You might not be cognizant of that, but many of us living outside your borders very much are.

I don't like what I see in the mirror most days, either. But I don't get to deny the grey hairs and aging face. I sure as hell don't go out in public shouting to the world "I'm not getting old; this greying, overweight man isn't me!"

I like the energy but we need Americans to clean up their own yard while it’s still safe to do so.

Nut jobs think that they’re the majority because they are behaving boorishly in public and nobody is holding them to account. The quiet majority needs to organize and show them that undesirable actions have proportional and consistently negative consequences.

That could mean a lot of things. Big things like being a trans ally and showing up for demonstrations. Small things like not inviting your MAGA uncle to family occasions. But things they must be. The jackboots are winning because people are typing anger into a box then staying home to shop and watch Netflix reality TV.

Americans go to war with less powered countries over resources quite often, actually. This is absolutely you.

No. Good people let this happen on their watch. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance and the people of the US were caught napping. You must take responsibility and act.

This is not the time to look for our forgiveness to make yourselves feel better. It is time to act. We will forgive later.

Are you not supposed to have guns and have a bunch of people in the same situation to supposedly defend your people in case of government tyranny, instead of just letting this happen and apologize?

I'm in the process of emigrating to Canada. I recently spent 5 weeks there and already miss it. So much stuff just feels so much more human.

One of my favorite small details is that Canadian bills have scientific achievements on them. A spaceship arm, a research vessel, and the creator of insulin are all on them. We get fucking Illuminati symbols instead.

No it is you. You voted for this. And are frankly doing nothing to stop this guy.

The dude just got out of jail a couple of months ago.

Don't stress yourself out too much. It's the Telegraph, whose journalistic standards are on par with the Toronto Sun.

We certainly had plans for it when I was an infantry officer in the nineties. I see no reason why those plans would not have been kept current.

MAGAs don't care. They may actually hate us for our freedoms.
