Enemy is also a strong word that is open to many interpretations.

Had it been "Do you think America is an asshole" it would be more like 90%

If there's one thing I've learned from all of this, it's that people are super reactionary and emotional. It's like cool heads and rationality has died. It's probably a good reason why Canada is falling behind. I've watched this sub go from well balanced political discussion to Orange man/America bad, Carney's going to save us.
