Trudeau was set to meet with about 10 vendors, but he couldn’t make his way to the other side of the public square after being swarmed by the dozens of protesters. Some of them were holding Trump flags, while others were screaming expletives about the government and the media.

America is paying us back for Justin Beiber by brainwashing our idiots.

I'm voting Liberal to go against what these morons want.

This type of harassment is as likely to gain Trudeau sympathy and/or support as not. The 'bozo factor' had sunk Conservative fortunes in the past and seems set to do an encore.

I suspect that that would never occur to these smooth-brain, Facebook-addled idiots.

I'm not a fan of Trudeau, nor the Liberal party in general, but it's about what I'm left with following the collapse of the Conservatives into the abyss of populist willful ignorance and downright, abject stupidity.

I do begrudgingly agree with John Baird on Trudeau being pretty successful overall. I've voted for him before, and it looks like I'll do it again.

My only concern here is when this gets bad enough, it incentivizes the centrist party to mostly ignore the misinformation and radicalization rather than trying to stamp it out. In the states, the Democrats seems to be just a little too content fundraising on the fringe Republicans. Then you end up with a Trump and/or stochastic terrorism.

This is 100% the result of online misinformation.

Waving Trump flags... 🤦‍♂️

That's the conservative platform right there. Blame Trudeau for everything and idolize a fascist Republican cult leader.

I'm from Belleville, this is embarrassing 🤦‍♂️ I promise this is a beautiful city with only a handful of idiots

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aw, no one blames Belleville. This is typical Ontario. Could be any town.

Yeah even in native circles this stupidity is rampant.

Facebook and most popular social media is like brain cancer at this point. Most people look at this crap every day and believe like mindless zombies everything they see.

Social media has tapped into the most basic animal cores of the human brain and it's leading everyone towards a cliff. Progress is measured by how fast we can run towards that abyss.

They are very loud, though. Do they still try to arrest the police or whatever they do? I'm pretty sure I watched a video of something like that.

Do they still try to arrest the police

I'm sorry, what?

Must be thinking of the incident in Peterborough…
