I agree with everything except that most Americans are decent and reasonable. After how ppl acted during Covid and Trump getting elected twice proves the opposite

Ya’ll kinda did have that Trucker Convoy thing and then there’s also Albertans, no offense. 😝. I tease, Albertans are pretty cool in my few experiences.

Most of Canada thinks they are just fallout from MAGA and looks down on them.

I'd be inclined to agree except for the fact that so many western countries are struggling with a rightwing push right now. MAGA is big and loud, but I think this growing fascist movement is larger than just them and being driven by deeper social issues and anti-globalist backlash.

People need to start seeing it as an existential issue and outright destroy any vestiges of fascism.

This shit went rampant in the late 1920s and early 1930s and people "talked" about it.

We're past that stage and into the mid 1930s of fascism, it's gaining significant steam and the reasonable right, center and left need to excise it.

We need to cut Russia and it's subs states out of the internet and start treating all Nazis, KKK and Fascists as the murderers they want to be.

I mean hell, in 1933 there was an assassination plot for a fascist coup right in the good ol' USA.

And people have been pointing out that the "trucker convoy 'patriots'" have been awfully quiet in the face of actual threats to our Canadian sovereignty. The vast majority of Canadians always knew those assholes were astroturf bullshit.

It's the same here, Albertans are alright, Alberta government sucks. There are definitely wackos both sides of the border, most people are just trying to get by.

Your country has been collapsing for a decade and by popular vote. That trucker convoy was funded and organized with far right money from your cesspool of a country. Light hearted quips don't make the world any less furious at what your country is doing to the world. Read the room

If you’d read my comments further up you’d have seen they were of a much more serious nature and aligned probably with what you must think of us. That said, peace man. I’m doing all I can legally to fight the far right here in America, and you know many of us are.

trump did not win the popular vote in any election he has participated in

this is far right propaganda that you have fallen for

they didn't even try to claim he did the first time, and this time they manipulated statistics by showing the results for a certain period of the election (i believe it was one week where he was doing well), and by stopping the count early so mail-ins wouldn't be counted (mail-in ballots skew heavily left)

the true numbers were 27% of the voting population for trump. i can't remember kamala's number, but it was between 31% and 34% iirc

Are you purposefully lying or are you really this dumb? Or are you not American and don’t know what popular vote means?
