Just wanted to re-iterate, just in case...

Sane Americans do not feel this way. In fact, I daresay the majority of us would probably gladly emigrate to Canada if we could.

Fuck the USA.

Sincerely, US Citizens everywhere.

    I hate to tell you this, but Trump is becoming very popular with the average Canadian. The average Canadian hates their own government so much that they'd rather throw it away and become America's 51st state. If you come to Canada to escape MAGA you're just going to run into more MAGA.

    That is the problem across the west, both parties are captured by the rich, and the only protest vote, the only real reform vote, is for the far right in league with these guys, and russia, and they are planning on fixing elections to never lose power to boot.

    It will happen, especially with the US and Russia helping behind the scenes, unless we get popular reform options in the west, and we still don't have that, trusting the oligarchy's tools in our parties, the keir starmers, to run the opposition to fascism and their far right.

    Unfortunately, it's not the majority. Remember, the majority of people (that voted) voted for this

    We don't actually know if that's true. Only 74% of the voting age population of the US was registered to vote in 2024. Only 65% of Americans voted on this election cycle and the popular vote was very close. We also know that Trump's approval ratings have absolutely tanked in his first year coming in at -16 points where as when he started, he sat pretty at +16. He has lost 32% of his initial approval in this country. I would say, it is quite likely, many if not the majority of Americans are well and truly, over this man's shit, even those who voted for him previously.

    Not the first time around. And even Trump didn't expect 2016 to happen.

    If it weren't for the good old electoral college we wouldn't be in this mess.
