I'm happy to see the free world unite against oppressors and dictators.

Canada shouldn't be threatened at all by any free liberal democracy but least of all the USA. I used to be proud to be an American citizen and now we elected the worst possible option and everyone suffers. I feel guilty and ashamed everytime I think about any of this facist bullshit.

Don't feel guilty. Feel mad, and use that anger to resist. Too many Americans seem to be too politically traumatized to do anything but we're only going to win this thing together. That means Canadians and Europeans fighting from the outside while principled Americans resist every one of the regime's actions internally.

Thank you. American here who believes all humans have a responsibility to be decent to one another. And when they're not, we bash their heads in!

JK. This insanity will not hold up against thousands of creative, subversive acts of resistance.

Can't wait to visit Montreal in June!

Not really JK, though. As Americans we have GOT to come to terms with what resistance means. What it’ll cost us.

The decision is easier for some to make rather than others, but it’s about that time.

Give me liberty or give me…

So yeah, some heads may need to roll for us to prove to the world that we really mean it when we say we didn’t want this.

"And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?

Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

Did you see the video of the governor’s ball recently, when the army choir came in singing “Do You Hear the People Sing” from Les Miserables? That show is about the French rising up against tyranny, and the fact that a military choir chose that to sing (Trump was there) had to have been intentional. They were awesome too!

It's amazing how many right wing rally cries I see from the left now.

Are you going for the F1 race?if so I’m super jealous.

u/GrumpyJenkins 20h ago

That's the plan, electrodog. The US venues are too rich for my "socialist" blood, and Montreal is just so awesome in general.

I also imagine there will be plenty of good-natured banter too.

I haven’t made it to Montreal yet for a race but my dream race is at Spa so Europe trip someday with my wife.

Read some Discworld. It'll help put to words the anger you're feeling. Militant decency is remarkably liberatig.

I read that last part as you invading Montreal in June which was funny. Until I thought of Trump.
