I just hope people remember than even AFTER the government changes, the companies and people behind them are still the same.
- The anger I'm seeing isn't just at Trump, it's at Americans in general.
  They voted for this lunatic, twice. How can we possibly trust that shit like this won't ever happen again?
  
  Not to mention the 1/3 of eligible voters who couldn't fucking be bothered to vote at all. Fuck them too.
  
  Same in Ontario. Thanks for giving us Doug Ford 3 times in a row, non-voters.
  
  Yeah and we don’t have voter suppression laws.
  I voted by mail, super easy.
  
  Couldn’t agree more. It’s hard for North Americans to get off the couch to cast a ballot.
  
  Well yeah! It's winter for crying out loud! Also I'm paying for Netflix, prime, Disney,crave... I'm behind on my shows.
  
  1/3 good Americans, 1/3 bad Americans, 1/3 that are just pretty clueless.
  TBF that more-or-less describes all nations in bad times. I'm just up close and personal with this one.
  
  It was over 1/3 of people who didn't vote.
  
  This. There were more voters that didn’t vote, than voted for trump. This is all because of ignorance and laziness. The US deserves everything it gets.
  
  The rest of the world doesn't.
  
  Fucking A
  
  Let's leave a little bit of anger for those at home who are enthusiastically supporting Poilievre. They would happily lead Canada down the same path as the USA.
  
  That is a different anger budget
  
  That's one of the biggest things. The first time they voted for Trump, we could forgive them, since it was hard to predict that he would be quite that awful. But this time? They knew. They knew what he was, what he stood for, and what he would do. They knew, and they chose him anyway.
  
  There was an 800 page book laying out project 2025 step by step. But reading is for nerds I guess.
  
  Especially when he spent the four interim years purging the party of anyone not 100% faithful to him, and publicly upping the aggressive rhetoric.
  Everyone outside the US who was paying attention saw this coming. If we were blindsided, it was only in how much he's been able to get away with so quickly; but we knew what most of his goals were.
  
  We can’t and whatever comes after trump will be worse. The US cannot be trusted and is not reliable.
- Oh the North Remembers.
