    I wake up every single day thanking the stars I’m not an American. What a fucking disaster this country is. Vote for a rapist, get raped, I guess.

      You think the oligarchs that put Trump in office will stop with the US? Better keep an eye on your own politicians

        At least I didn’t grow up having to do active shooter drills in school and I don’t live in fear of risking bankruptcy for a trip to the hospital or praying that my employer doesn’t wake up feeling like firing me.

              Yeah yeah thats great and completely misses the point. See you in five years when you are blind sided.

                I’m not missing the point. It takes a special kind of misery to tell someone “you’ll be like us in 5 years”.

                And even though I may, I would have still lived a better life without having been forcefed a bunch of propaganda about being the pinnacle of human history.

                  You’ve got blinders on. I’m trying to warn you that you are not immune. Canadian’s especially have their foot coming in the door we just walked through. Capitalism always turns into faacism, always.

                    I’ve known that since I was a kid and I saw cops massacring people in broad daylight while politicians and media spun it as a glorious day for democracy. Thank you for your concern, though.

                Probably more like in 10-15 years, but yeah. They’re definitely missing the point. 20-30 years ago nobody would have thought something like modern day America could have happened.

                  I mean people did, they’ve been ringing the alarm bells since the 70s. Its happening in Canada too. Anywhere a corporation lurks under capitalism is in danger of becoming what we are. Be vigilant. Dont be capitalist.

                    Modern-day America makes sense, though. It may have become stale, but it was literally built on genocide and slavery: the whole tragedy and farce thing.

          The saddest part is you’re so gleeful about it. I wouldn’t wish Trump on any other nation. But I guess shiity people will wish harm on others, instead of lifting them up…
