Hahaha I did the same, I was considering what rock I could turn to find them under and remembered Reddit.
Can confirm, even they haven't found a way of spinning this one. Their best shot was justifying this as an attempt of making Trudeau, who's leaving, to look bad and ease up on the tariffs when the new guy comes in so he looks good and is more eager to work with Trump, but even then they see it as a shot in the foot.
They all seem pretty bewildered by this iteration of the orange rapist from the little bit I looked. I got the feeling that he doesn't have a lot of support there anymore. Idk I'm not digging around but it's just a sense I have.
Facebook. You can find a lot of them on Facebook. My family included....
I'd have to create an account, too much of a hassle.
Edit: sorry about your family bro, it's a tragedy that they got the US to chew itself inside out. I'm sure deep down they're decent, normal people, who just got picked up in a vicious web of misinformation, hate and mistrust. Stay strong!
I glanced around old Facebox and mostly saw them yammering about trans people today and pretty quiet on the tariffs. It's interesting.
I made a post on there, first one I'm years, about how whoever voted for Trump can't fuck right off. My sister texts me "oh dear brother. You've unleashed the Maga folks" which happen to be my brother and my other sisters ex-husband. I haven't even checked my notifications to see what they said. I don't need to read it. I know it will be ignorance. Anywho, take care of yourself
I'm sorry for your loss of a brother.
Best wishes to you amigo.
Back at you homie
