    As a Canadian- it isn’t “the damage Trump has caused in 9 months.” It’s the damage the US populace at large has done and allowed to be done for roughly 3-4 decades while literally everyone was telling you to wake the fuck up because this was the trajectory you were on.

    In response to the entire world trying to warn you off this path, you closed your eyes, stuck your fingers in your ears, flipped us off, yelled louder and started flying your flags more conspicuously.

    Trump is one small part of the gargantuan fuckup YOU allowed to happen. Trump is a symptom. A few entire generations of Americans are the cause.

      I know, I know. We’ve seen the rot spreading since Regan, but it’s nearly impossible to get rid of when about half the voting public think it’s ordained by god to vote straight republican.

      Except when they wanted to travel. Then they traded their conspicuous flags for Canadian ones.
