I’m trying, but my government keeps moving the goalposts on how far I need to fuck off. It’s beginning to get exhausting.

I’m afraid it will have to be a lot more fucking off…..Until he’s impeached, convicted and removed from power and the entire administration prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned for their crimes. SCROTUS expanded DHS abolished, ICE disbanded. Billionaires wealth redistributed. Reparations made for slavery though a truth and reconciliation process. Trans, Black, brown people, immigrants and queer people reintegrated and welcomed loudly back into society. And the US stops funding Palestine genocide. THAT’s when you can stop fucking off. So, it will be awhile.

Nope. Still wouldn’t trust them even if they did all this. We have seen how quick this happened. It could happen again. Why: The fact it’s being tolerated, and it’s unlikely change will occur. They will just try and reverse a bit. Greed killed America

It takes hundreds of years to grow a forest, and just one match to burn it down.

Exactly this here.

The problem is not Trump. The problem has never been Trump. Trump is a symptom of the problem. The problem is a social rot that has been going on for all of my life (well over half a century). All y'all done fucked up your whole society and that problem will remain long after the current coterie is gone.

I will never trust the USA again. Nor will anybody else who was alive to watch that country turn to open Nazis over the course of two elections. We now know what's lurking within the USA, and how large it is, and how much power it has. We can't unsee this. It will be generations before anybody but the stupid trusts Americans.

And the system fixed so all this can't happen again.

Apparently "capitalism" and "market pressure" only work when it's in the USA's favour? The USA should be proud of Canada for acting exactly like capitalists! They are opening the market and letting the best suited and best priced item win. Isn't that the whole point of the system?
