    Is this trying to claim that Americans against Trump… Shouldn’t be taken seriously? Aren’t being honest? What prejudiced thing are you claiming exactly?

      I now look at the American population the same way as I look at the Russian or North Korean populations. They are caught in terrible states and I support those who resist their tyrannical government. I do not, however, think their positions on global affairs have much value as they ought to be more focused on their own terrible government. Hearing Americans tell Canadians how we should respond to Trump is falling on deaf ears.

      I see it more communicating this idea that as other countries rightfully discuss the ramifications and impact that a fascist American leader has on them, Americans feel the need to pop in and make it about themselves and seek some kind of validation. Like, okay, cool, how about you go fix your damn fascist country then instead of seeking brownie points?

        Please give me working instructions for fixing this shit. Been protesting and voting for 20 years and shit only gets worse.

          A protest in France looks very different than a protest in the states… all I’m saying.

            You’re right. The cops roll up and start shooting people.

            Saying americans dont protest correctly isnt looking at the whole picture.

              As an American, I truly believe we dont protest correctly. Even when theyre done violently they dont institute that much change. Were too afraid to step on the toes of our oppressors. French protests go fucking hard though. Tough to top their revolution where they paraded the corrupt and rich out into the streets to stand in line for a turn at the guillotine. If you ask me, we need to start getting a little more medieval.

              What the fuck is a correct protest? The only thing that matters is the results.

              For a country that loves guns you sure don’t fucking use em unless it involves a school or strip mall. A majority of your country is just complacent.

          It’s almost as if we don’t control the media, social media, or how other people think.

          We’re stuck on this stupid train that takes directions from every idiot no matter what their direction is, like “ok now drive off that cliff!”

          Not sure how powerless people change that. We’re well past the age of guillotines. At least the peasants of the past shared a common reality. With propagandists and social media we live in multiple versions of “reality” all fighting to be the “real” one…

          America didnt effectively clean their house for 50 years, their house is now so infested with rats that they are coming onto our property and Americans want to be involved in our discussions on our rat problems because they have it worse…
