When he tries to deny or overturn the results of elections from 50 separate states (again) because he’s a whiny crybaby bitch and most Americans are sick of his shit?

Did you not read the first part of my comment when I said the pain threshold isn’t high enough?

Did you forget my other comment (that you bookmarked) where I said people ARE acting every day to resist ICE?

    Then you all need to reevaluate what is an acceptable pain threshold.

    You and I don’t get to decide that for other individuals or the collective.

    Agreed. But I can judge them for it.

    Believe me I do too. I’ve said for a while it’s going to take a lot of pain to snap the average American out of acceptance. Right now things are just uncomfortable for most. I don’t know what the threshold is but I suspect we’ll hit it before 2028.

    Fair enough. But I hope you can see why as outsiders thats a frustrating position. Because your internal shitshow is hurting us. Im Canadian and we are getting pretty tired of the econonic warfare and uncertainty. Hell you guys are actively trying to influence our politics, especially in Alberta. Trying to drive a wedge in our society.

    We do feel for you guys, believe it or not. But we're so tired of the bullshit.

    No, there is no “you guys”. There are very specific people behind this, many of which aren’t even in the government. Some of whom are Canadian.

    we're so tired of the bullshit.

    What do you think the people in the US are feeling? Such an obtuse fucking statement.

    If you bothered to read the comment you responded to, the other commentor pointed out that some of the people doing this are your own fucking countrymen.

    Do we get to blame Canada for their hand in this? Or are we smart enough to see that the rich are making us fight amongst ourselves because it's easier for people like you to rail against the bad outsider than to realize that this is being driven by a multinational group of the ultra wealthy bent on enacting techno-feudalism via attacks on the elections of any country needed?

    No you don't. We, individually, don't have control of the collective. You might as well judge us for what our aristocrats are doing. Or what the wind is doing.

    Judge us now, and you leave your own people to be judged when they capitulate to far-right movements supported and bankrolled by aristocracy. We're already seeing signs of this now. Elon Musk and associates can afford to buy a lot of elections. And they intend to do so.

    All of our societies been softened up by neoliberalism. We all thought we could regulate the capitalist class, and how they intend to drive humanity to extinction. It's our last chance to assure they are reduced out of existence, or their war boys and propaganda will come back twice as strong.

    I hope we can navigate our way out of this, but individuals are infinitesimal compared to the masses. Humanity might just be too stupid to survive.

    PlaidBaron is right though, why all the downvotes?

    You think you'll all rise up after an event that already happened once, that is delusional IMO.

    I don't have a perfect answer to your mess, but I don't think waiting is the answer.

    Good luck, you need it.
