Honestly I don’t know what’s going on in the USA. You’re so proud of your “democracy and freedom” yet one of your 2 political parties is able to effectively dismantle the entire thing in less than a decade. You’re now one election away from being a christofascist state.

…and yet you’re all just going to work tomorrow. You’re all doing pretty much nothing except “make sure you vote in 2024.” So I guess every 4 years you’re going to be one election away from a literal Nazi takeover?

I don’t know. Riot or something. I have no idea how you’re all coping so hard.

    Sounds like you’re getting too much of your info from here or reddit because the US is not anything like what’s portrayed on television overall. You’ve got your small pockets of crazies that are unfortunately very loud, hence the reason we look nuts. Yes, every 4 years we get to vote, and that could have some drastic changes on policies. But that’s America for you. Don’t bash us just because our current leadership is ass.

      You’re wrong about the state of the usa, but right about how Americans are coping - by pretending its not happening. It’s pretty similar to how we all cope with climate change

      Your “small pockets of crazies” are all running for government and have been flooding news programs with garbage. I am Canadian, I live in Canada and that we have Trump ralliests and Fox news addicts has meant we have 2nd amendment nutjobs up here now when we don’t even have a 2nd amendment. We had a refugee crisis from the US during the 2016 election because people were scared of the stuff being said by those crazies because Muslim travel bans were being threatened. Your small pockets of crazies are running wild, getting elected because they are mainstreaming and making the the folks who share borders with you very nervous.

      You might want to look around, the wild dogs currently have the run of the neighbourhood.
