We are sorry Canada 🇨🇦! As soon as we get this under control we hope to mend our relationship ASAP. Don't lose faith in all of us... We still love ya!
we've only lost faith in most of you
This makes me more upset than it should. So simpe, yet so painful. Only the truest of the MAGA core leaders believe Canada is anything but a friend and ally and most important trading partner to the US for the last 70 years - like maybe a few hundred people in the US, all with their own insane agenda. The 30% of MAGA that follows whatever those leaders may be lost but, 70% of the country is still pretty WTF about our current leadership's shift to aggression.
The MAGA administration is setting things up so that they can never lose power again, a'la a coup. (Or I guess they call it a reverse coup?) the rubicon may have already been crossed and you may have to shoot your way out of it
Im not holding any faith that it changes. the whole point of moves that fascists make, is that by the time you realize you have to fight, its already fait accompli, checkmate, already too late.
We know this and it's grim. We're trying to remain optimistic in order to keep fighting in the face of growing fascism. The alternative is giving in or leaving, which I don't think the world wants to see. I'm just upset that even our northern friends and close ally since WWII think this lowly of the US when we share so many facets of life. It's been eye opening for me (and I'm not quite sure I understand the downvotes even if I appreciate everyone's tough lough messages).
I'll put it another way... If those of us here who are sane fail, Canada and Mexico are likely to be Poland and France. I think Venezuela or Greenland may be Czechoslovakia already. I can only ask you to encourage those of use against this nonsense as the front lines will shift quickly if they start rounding us up here. I'm pleading to your own best interests to stay positive and encouraging resistance instead of doom and gloom.
That will definitely age well.
We never really had faith in you tbh. We just kinda accepted you for who you were.
