Cool story but that is what Americans chose, yes. It’s your representative. Americans might not hate Canadians, but Americans only love themselves and will eventually learn that this leads you to behave selfishly and be hated.
Cool, let's alienate the people who are also against this bullshit. I'm sure that will help.
If anyone feels alienated, deal with it. I’m not saying this to make an enemy but neighbors will get no cookies or pats on the back for doing the absolute minimum, then coming here tell us “on behalf of half of us, I’m sorry” and that “this is not us”. Yes it is, face it and deal with it. Do more and to better.
One American to another, we need to recognize that most of our country either voted for this or enabled it by not voting. Most if us either support this malicious behavior or are apathetic to it. Sure. If you take a poll, most Americans don't want the us to mess with Canada. But if people won't even vote, then how do you expect them to take up arms to save Canada?
To be fair, you have to consider the large number of Americans disenfranchised from voting, precisely because they were demographics who would have voted against this.
Voter suppression is a real and serious problem. I still think most people too beaten down and busy to get out to vote, even if disenfranchised, aren't about to help out with a civil war or do much to help fix the current regime.
Also consider the amount of influence oligarchs created to get their president to power, divide everyone and put blame on each other.
Americans seem to be mostly waiting for an act or God to fix this mess, so with that in mind it helps to remind them that no you do in fact share responsibility for this, if only by association.
