    It’s not just blind hate, it’s a nation of under-educated racist bullies who are literally threatening to annex my country and are now cheering at nazi salute. You want us to engage in polite discussion with nazis? They choose to elect a literal pedophile (Epstein’s closest friend, it’s on tape) TWICE. What do you think these fascists pigs would do people like me: half-indigenous, half french-canadian and bi? They would fucking put me into a reeducation camp until I die. Americans can shot each other as much as they want, good for them, but they are now an ennemi and a real threat to the our species, that’s not just an image. Our officials are just your basic neo-liberals fucks, we need to bring this entire system down, starting with fascist USA.

      Not the Nazis, but the trans and bi and Jews and…

      Or I guess we bi and trans Americans can go to the camps or get shot. Good to know we won’t have any aid from Canadians in fighting back.

        … It’s your country that’s threatening mine. You know the one where half the budget goes to the army and everyone has a gun? Your president was democratically elected, americans made a choice. What do you want us to do exactly, surrender so we can be together in the camps?

          Elected by a margin of 1.5% of the vote, in an election where 2+ million mail-in ballots were thrown out, with black voters’ ballots being 9 times more likely to have been thrown out, and where more than half of the voting public didn’t even care enough to bother to vote.

          I’m saying have some damn empathy for us dirty American faggots and removeds who are likely to end up in a camp with no government to protect us - hell, a government that is actively hunting us down for sport.

          Or do you call German Jews Nazis as well? After all, the Germans made a choice. Hitler was democratically elected, too, you know.

          You sound exactly like the Republicans do when they talk about China, or immigrants, or black people, or…

          Don’t buy anything American, urge every politician you can to fight against our government, anything and everything you can. But don’t victim blame those of us who did and are actively fighting against the monsters the bigots and the white liberal masses put into power. I’m hoping for NATO to come and save us, not gun us down in the streets for being American.

            Dude chill, I’m not hostile toward you personally, sorry if it sounded like it. I’m not saying I don’t have empathy for people who didn’t voted for pedo, but in this situation, it’s the USA that’s coming after us, not the other way around. USA has the biggest army in the world, the craziest leader, and is threatening to annex us. And this governement is not even a month old… We need to protect our-self by any means.

              Americans can shot each other as much as they want, good for them

              Words have meaning, and when you say things like that, you lump us in with those scumbags. That’s exactly what the lunatics in charge want. Dehumanize us so the common person won’t care when they kill us. "Who cares if a bunch of gay people got shot? They were Americans, it’s their own fault for living in that shitty country in the first place. They all have guns, they should’ve shot first. "

              There are plenty of us here who agree with you and are cheering you guys on because we want to gut the current government just as much as you do. I hope Canada hits us with tariffs, and I hope it hurts. Because maybe then these idiots here will wake up and realize what they’ve voted for. I doubt it, but I can hope.

                Welcome to America. By the way, it’s rude to talk about politics. And I’m not going to change my family’s mind, so I won’t bother.

                My vote doesn’t matter, so I won’t show up at the polls, either. Something something Gaza, both sides, Pelosi bad.

                We’re stuck in this together whether we individually had a choice or not. Regardless of what happens in four years, we’ve proven unreliable.
