    I love the Canadians and Europeans who woke up to it when Trump started disrespecting Canada/Europe. The US was tolerable and respectable until recently, but now we’ve crossed a line! Now they demand that Americans drive our trucks with our guns to the capital and fix things! After all, they would! lol

    (I know that’s far from all of them and if you take exception to this I’m probably not talking about you, and otherwise it’s better late than never of course, but still. It’s human nature I suppose to be ignorant about something until you have a material reason not to be, and I should try not to pretend to be superior.)

      That’s what gets me about it. We keep hearing news about fascism rising in various places - Germany and France in the news recently - and you don’t hear that same “Well, go take care of it!” that popped up recently against the US.

      It’s also hard to take because we HAVE been trying to deal with it for quite a while. heh.

      I can understand some negative US sentiment being expressed. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that some folks tried to bitch at us in the past and were downvoted by others defending us. Yeah, well, okay, those people probably are understandably a little bitter. Just like I’m bitter about these things. heh.
