As a Canadian I feel bad for the American people. But I am very glad we are distancing ourselves from you as trading partners. And socially. And I will not set foot in your country until the craziness stops.
As an American most of us (at least the ones without cousin fucking somewhere in their ancestry) support you staying away. Please do what you can to protect yourselves. Hell, please stay away for awhile even after we hopefully get a handle on this. Because the Trump administration has DEEPLY embedded these sorts of people into every level of the government and our opposition party has shown a deep unwillingness to root them out when possible.
You guys go thrive. We need to stumble in the dirt and muck of our own choices for awhile until a reckoning comes. (And to my fellow Americans who want to say 'I didn't vote for this' - neither did fucking I. But I'm still responsible for my fucking country and understand it's been sick for centuries. The only people who can fix it is ourselves. We can't fucking keep offloading that responsibility to our neighbors..)
Not that guy but I’d like to make one; shine for us.
We were told we were the “Shining City upon the Hill” for decades and a lot of us grew up believing it. We liked to think we brought hope and peace and Democracy to the world and were proud of it.
Too proud it turns out.
Hopefully this humbling won’t take long and we’ll take a peaceful track and rejoin the free world as the beacons we thought we were but in the meantime, we need to be able to look at our old friends and allies to know how far into the mud we’ve fallen. This time, we need some hope. Some help.
Because the Trump administration has DEEPLY embedded these sorts of people into every level of the government and our opposition party has shown a deep unwillingness to root them out when possible.
This is the biggest problem. There's no recovering from that aspect in any of our lifetimes.
