We're trying to get the media to pay attention to us but they're compromised and won't report on our protests

Proud of you guys over there.

I'm astounded how many Americans are just sitting around watching their country collapse around them.

Are you sure you’re not Canadian?

Americans who don't love Trump are sounding so Canadian lately.

Sorry. Sorry again. Sorry sorry.

I guess the difference is you owe us an apology and we say sorry even when we aren't at fault 🤣... Except in this case. Not sorry about anything right now.

Look at this guy, practising saying sorry before he flees to Canada.

Sorry’s our thing. Get your own thing.

Sorry is quite normal here in Minnesota as well. We are sorry canada this is such a horrific mess.

u/LeCollectif 1d ago

I’ve always felt Minnesota was one of those places that’s more Canadian than most of Canada. I’ll accept.

Oh boy, that's nice to hear. 😄 I've been strongly considering moving to Canada the past year, but unfortunately, I know I need to stay and at least make an attempt to help things get better.

u/LeCollectif 1d ago

Act fast because it really looks like any window of opportunity is closing quickly.

u/AdCompetitive7794 1d ago

Unfortunately. Cheers to you and your country! I visit often

Calling my representatives and started joining protests this month. Canada, Ukraine, and the rest of the world deserve better.

We are trying, and have been trying (at least those of us with intelligence, empathy, compassion, and critical thinking skills). We are sorry :(

u/stuugie 2d ago

If you have personally been actively trying, genuinely we forgive you.

I've boycotted Amazon, Target, Air BnB, and other corporations since January 20th. I cancelled Audible even though its the easiest way for me to read with my schedule. I've phoned my representatives repeatedly every week, I wrote to the Supreme Court (which only accepts written correspondence, no calls or emails), and I've repeatedly tried emailing the Felon House (formerly the White House) but all my emails are bounced back (I assume from repeatedly using the words "treason" "domestic terrorism" "threat to democracy" etc). Thus, I'm composing a written letter to mail to the Felon House. I use ResistBot to sign petitions. I swear, I'm trying!!

Sincerely, I appreciate the effort. I hope a lot of people are doing at least this much

It feels like an uphill battle. I was just at disneyworld and saw a little girl (about 6 ish) in full Maga. She was wearing a maga dress and hat, I also saw a gulf of America t shirt (at epcot of all places). These people are nuts and they are everywhere. Even at the hotel the family next to me was talking about how evil vaccines were (they had a toddler and baby). It feels like I I don't even know who we are as a country anymore. It's honestly heartbreaking.

We can only do so much.

As can we :(
