Ya get what ya vote for.
DC voted 90%+ for Harris. There’s almost no chance he voted for this.

Sorry, it's been ten years of this. I'm kinda done with giving nuance to Americans.

Harsh? Maybe, but when even the Democrats are caving in to Trump's demands for fuck all reason, I'm just done caring about what the thoughts of people down South are.

Literally been told by "left-wing" Americans that my thoughts and opinions on their politics don't matter even with the bullshit going on, and all I can think of is how I as someone over the border wouldn't have to fucking care if they treated this guy like the fucking threat they supposedly see him as rather than do nothing more than tell people to vote as if that's some big fucking accomplishment.

If getting out to vote is supposedly all that people could have done against this and nothing else (their words and actions, not mine), then yeah, ya get what ya vote for.

Now imagine how much worse it is actually being here and being one of the targeted groups.
Like someone who’s home is under threat of annexation?
Yeah dude that’s probably worse than being forcibly detransitioned and sent to a camp in Guantanamo or El Salvador.
As a Canadian who’s sick of Amerikkkas shit, yeah… both can be bad at the same time. They don’t exist in a vacuum from one another.
I’m not saying it’s not bad or scary, I’m saying it’s worse to be here and a target. Living in Canada is the fucking dream for some people here right now. You’d think this wouldn’t be particularly outrageous to say, and yet.
You know how a lot of people talk about how the problem is individualism? It’s clearly not an American only thing when you look at the way that so many Canadians are responding to being told that the threat for them is bad but there is not threat for us. Only increasing violence.
