Fuck the US Government, everyone in it, and every citizen living under it.

Every single person in the US is either in full support of this nonsense, pretending like a petition or election is going to stop a "Fascist regime" from taking over, don't care as long as it isn't them, (edit) or chronically online ignoramus' who believe violence is the only solution because being a lazy cunt hasn't worked yet. Like always, we have to deal with their shit when it hits the fan because of proximity and I am sick of it.

It doesn't matter who is in power down there, Canadians always get fucked over by the US Government.

We need to completely disconnect from that country and close our borders to them. No more US Companies in our borders, no more trade, no more tourism, no more intelligence cooperation or military support, just a complete disconnect. Not until Trump is out, or the Democrats regain a little power, but indefinitely until the point when our ideologies actually align and the US can demonstrate they aren't a terrorist state masquerading as "Leader of the free world".

This is a class war, don’t get it twisted. The working class in the US are a bulwark against that shit coming here.

By all means, fuck the Cheeto & large American corpos. But working class is working class. Don’t be selling us out to Loblaws just because you decided some farmer in Minnesota is to blame for the broken system they have down there.

Trump is dismantling the country piece by piece and no one is doing shit all to stop it, including and especially the working class. This is not a class war. This is the beginning of an Economic war which could escalate further because Trump intends to annex Canada.

This is the fault of every US citizen whether they voted for it or are currently standing by and letting it happen.

By all means, fuck the Cheeto & large American corpos. But working class is working class. Don’t be selling us out to Loblaws just because you decided some farmer in Minnesota is to blame for the broken system they have down there.

No, fuck all of them. Class doesn't matter here, every citizen of that country is responsible for this mess.

I haven't shopped at Loblows in almost 20 years and anyone who thinks shopping there supports Canadians is an ignoramus.

Farmers are not working class, the people who work on their farms are. They also voted for Trump in large numbers.

Every US citizen is responsible for the broken system. That is how Democracy works.

If you think democracy is to blame here, you need to educate yourself about how things work down there. Capitalists have bought and paid their way through elections playing both parties for decades & pumping out propaganda from the media networks they own.

There is no party for the working class in the US. Voters largely did NOT vote for Trump. They voted to abstain or held their nose and voted for the least-bad option. And of those who did vote for Trump they did so in protest & a lack of better options. That's why Trump is in office, and the oligarchs are just playing you into believing otherwise lest the working class realizes we outnumber them.

Blaming common folk for the exploits of billionaires is exactly what your owners want you to be doing. Your anger and outrage is important and valuable, but you need to wake up and place the blame where it belongs.

I don't have owners, and you can take your pseudo intellectual bullshit elsewhere. Thanks.

Clearly, you do. And they've convinced you to blame your neighbor for the boot on your neck.
