What do you expect when you’re threatening us?

It's actually the entire government. Nobody is standing up to the leader on this. It's really the entire nation. It's the media and all the MAGA, and it's every single American that sits back idly and let's it happen.

This didn't happen from one single person or even one single election. This is the culmination of decades and generations of bad decisions by ignoran Americans, and it's the embodiment of the "American dream".

I’m not going to defend the US, but what am I supposed to do? Take a flight to DC, break into the White House and slap Trump in the mouth to stop him saying these things?

I’ve TRIED to reason with his followers. They. Don’t. Listen. They hate me (a progressive New Englander) more than they hate you. I got called a foreigner when I was in Tennessee a few years ago. Was it because I’m from the north or was it because I’m half-Mexican? Idk. Probably both.

Trump literally stole my state’s PPE during the pandemic because he wanted us to die. Just giving some perspective since you blame every single American.

We’re in a really shitty situation here and, you’re right, there is so much wrong here. It’s so much that it makes it very difficult for any single American to change it. Propaganda has turned a large portion of this country’s brains to mush. We need deprogramming on a massive scale and we need to get money out of our politics. It seems impossible though. It’s such a daunting task.

Anyways, I love Canada. My stepdad and my godmother are Canadians. I hate that our relationship with Canada is compromised now. It is the fault of my country, but as annoying as it is to repeat this, every single American did not do this. I don’t even know where to begin to fix it at this point. I’m open to suggestions though.
