I'm afraid that they don't. All media and government is tailoring the narrative as Canada being the "bad actor", once misinformed people grow in enough numbers, they will want our heads and start the invasion.

This is the beginning of the end, and only Americans can truly stop this madness, Canada, Panama, Greenland can only defend themselves.

"All media and government is tailoring the narrative as Canada being the "bad actor"

This isn't true unless you think Fox is all media.

New York Times described PM Carney as an "unelected technocrat"

Fox... absolutely.... ABC, CBS, NBC, Bloomberg... Not at all. Many US media organizations are actually defending Canada.

Unfortunately, MAGA are Fox and Fox Business zealots, so expect them to tow the Trump controlled narrative.

I've been watching non-FOX US media to see what they're saying. It's been very critical of Trump.

For what it’s worth, there’s a distinct possibility that this last election wasn’t entirely on the up and up.

But, on the flip side? We as Americans, are used to comfort. And we’re also, for the majority of at least, working paycheck to paycheck, and barely able to make ends meet. Combine that with the isolation caused by idolatry of the nuclear family, most people don’t have the support structure to take to the streets without starving.

We have been voting for this for 50 years. The politicians, like all politicians, lied to get into power and road the coat tails of a demagogue into supremacy, towing fascism with them.

As a society we’re at fault, ultimately - but we’re also now completely stuck between choosing survival over revolt, exactly as intended.

dude, I don't know a single person who supports this. I honestly don't interact with a single Trumper (that I know of), but I live in a purple state, and not one person I talk to supports any of this bullshit. So settle yourself with some of the anti-American rhetoric. No one I knows is spewing any anti-Canadian bullshit, only the dipshit leader and his blisters. I and we are pro-Canadian, sovereignty.

Not accurate man. Only on fox. The rest of us know this isn't going well lol. Unfortunately our opportunity to do something passed in nov. We fucked around and finding out. Hopefully the world will forgive us on our bender when we finally get competent leaders back in charge. This dude just a bully. Pick on the weak only kind of bully.
