Rath maintains there is a global Communist conspiracy to kneecap Alberta’s economy—a belief he says U.S. officials now share.

These people will say anything to keep building anger, resentment, and outrage. They'll pile lies upon lies knowing they'll never be held accountable, and they'll invent wholesale conspiracies that can never be proven or disproven to achieve their goals.

Politics isn't broken; but we're definitely having a crisis of accountability.

    Pardon me while I invite MAGA and any MAGA-loving Canadians to eat a giant bag of dicks.

    That's treason and we should act against these people.

    It's really unfortunate but you can find morons in all our countries.

    I do hope this turns around soon without any serious blood shed. It's not the time line I signed up for

    I don't think I am capable of understanding the mindset of seeing Trump and how little he has given to his supporters and the clear damage he is doing across everything, being on the outside and thinking "I want that."

    I can understand experiencing hard times and wanting change, but to look at Trumpism and see it as an oasis I cannot understand. What do they have that you want? What do you think he will offer you that he won't rescind?

    The best video I saw on this put forward the idea that it's all for a smug sense of superiority and a sense of having "figured life out." It's a deliberately pocket-sized, shallow, and purely emotional stance. One just holds on tight, ignoring everything going on around the place, and let the good vibes flow. Meanwhile, all that powerlessness and vulnerability fades away into a cloud of "I'm right, I'm a hero."

    As a bonus, the very same video suggests that humor (of all things) is a very good tool for piercing through:
