Good thing as a Canadian I don't care what Americans THINK of us too much. They value their independence so do we.
Yeah but having the sentiment out there can still harm our own politics by giving rise to the people within Canada who support fascism (indirectly or directly). I don't know anyone who gives a fuck that Americans might not like us but I know at least a few who think that our government should be following in the footsteps of Americans, and given that I live in a fairly liberal city, I can only imagine it's much worse in some of the other areas.
This is how it started with trump in America. The social media brigades and odd social networking that just seems illegitimate. It's sad watching CA Europe getting bombarded with the same methods they used in America. I'm watching it happen to you guys the same way it happened here.
Start planning now. Observe silently and don't participate in their theater. It's meant to entice you they are fueled by reaction to it. Observe silently and plan so that you can always be ready. They will always turn any real talk into pointless debate. There is never a way to talk a real conversation with these people and that's on purpose. I've been dealing with these people since 2016. It's like a full-time job keeping my guard up against the manipulation.
We American don't value anything but consumerism and escapism so we can remain ignorant to real human life.
