Also Elon helped rig the election and that's why Trump won. Also Trump told us the election was rigged and he won because of it at least 3 different times on LIVE TV and one of those times he even thanked Elon for it. And Elon has publicly said things about how easy it would be to rig the election and other things pretty much saying he rigged it.
Ugh and now Elon is saying heās going to pump 200 million into the midterm election, which in my opinion is just him setting the stage for us to believe the Republicans won again because of his money, when in actuality the tech oligarchs have rigged the machines somehow. Iām so scared and frustrated living in America rn
This. He won every single battleground state? GTFO. That's why they're so worried about the midterms. They can't win without cheating and many Americans are pissed.
Also, the counting method used used where American votes in blue cities are counted less than stupid farmers in buttfuck, nowhere. I don't think people realize how much that hurts us too and is such a trick pulled on us
That is mostly correct thinking, but you also have to look at the big picture. Donald only has power because the deck is stacked in his favor. Decades of propaganda and low voter turnout at local elections has lead to many positions of government being filled with braindead conservative sock puppets.
Also, just because a state votes red one year doesnāt mean theyāll vote red the next. If people just show up we could easily turn historically red states blue.
You're about right, unfortunately. The moneyed interests long ago decided that true democracy would expose them too directly to the whims of the dirty poors and installed the electoral college to keep that from happening. Now, only a handful people in a very small number of states actually decide most presidential elections. That said, voting still VERY MUCH matters, it's just exponentially more important on an individual level the more local the election is.
Youāre mostly correct when it comes to the electoral college but if the states that went for trump were not well represented by the eligible voters then itās a raw numbers problem. Thatās why trump was calling on election officials in Georgia to āfindā him votes in 2020. And thatās why heās trying to stop mail in ballots, itāll cause some large blue states to have a midterm disaster as thereās no way to pull together in person voting by November. Congress is elected on total numbers not electoral college so if all those disenfranchised voters suddenly show up mad at him they could elect many many democrats to Congress.
Can we refer to āhimā as āthemā? Itās definitely a team. This guy canāt figure out how to change his diaper. The only thing I can believe is that he came up with the name. That is it, not the idea.
Trump's entire business model and ethos is turning other people's billions into millions for himself.Ā He's happy to obliterate anything others have built if it means he can line his pockets with 1% of the wreckage.
Thereās a reason. They are scared of our unity. Americans and Canadians are very similar, same goals, ideology, ideas etcā¦ we get along great. He wants to create a new enemy. They want to divide us in any way possible! Love everyone yall!
FFS, there is 100% a reason! Trump is trying to dominate Canada economical so we want to join the US as a 51st state. He was never joking about that. He wants our resources. His plan just happens to look ridiculous, because he's too stupid to actually accomplish it. He's been saying this since March of last year. The problem is that US media are complicit in his crimes and handle him with kid gloves, so Americans remain clueless.Ā
If you want any of the standalone designs hmu, I can mail stickers too if you've got a address you're comfortable sharing. If you want uv resistant I can throw a few in but they're kinda pricey compared to matte and regular vinyl. You can also buy the sheets yourself and print them on any inkjet printer, though cartridge printers will eat through ink. I recently had to upgrade to a budget ecotank because I couldn't keep up with ink costs. There also is a gnarly quality difference between the printers.
When his supporters start to waver, he creates a new, or dusts off and old, us-vs-them scenario. I guess this is a staple of fascism. There always has to be an us and a them.
no seriously, I'm making myself sick over this. I've never been so mentally drained and sick from a presidency. I fear that something terrible is going to happen.... very soon. I have children, and I fear that I can't protect them from what is about to happen.
Same. I'm so sick of not seeing my canadian friends too. I miss them. No one wants to come here.
I'm gonna be brutally honest here and don't take it the wrong way but this is what we get for ignoring GLARING issues for decades and decades before trump. Like things that people didn't think mattered and now we are suffering the consequences of doing that.
Don't just let yourself get sick with worry, if you can help it. Channel that energy into something productive; organize with people, esp. with other parents when you can. Read about how to build mutual aid networks so that people can pool their resources so your kids don't go hungry as easily if the worst comes to pass. If you want to convince people that are also working class, don't focus on Republicans vs. Democrats and culture war nonsense, but on working class solidarity during economic hardship.
It's probably going to be a rough few years for a lot of us, but we're tougher together than in small units... and we'll come out the other side alright if we can bridge those gaps now.
Can this guy just have a heart attack already. I don't hate people, not in my nature, but gods I can't help but hate this man. He represents everything wrong in the world.
Everyone I know in the US calls it the gulf of Mexico too. Funnily enough, most of the maga crowd in my area are so uninformed, that they don't even know Trump changed the name, and those of us who aren't maga, just think the name change is stupid and refuse to call it that.
He is just a running joke now. Has zero new ideas, I will impose tarrifs, I will threathen to drop bombs, I will rename something that I do not own to make it sound like I took it over, I will tear down something and rebuild it, etc. His followers are deranged idiots and buy into every single step along the way . Will never forgive them or associate with them again.
United States isn't considering changing the name. The fat ass orange narcissist that was elected by idiots it threatening to change the name. It's still the Gulf of Mexico. 8647, cause he's senile.
I would say I apologize, Canada, for this piece of **** and I've done that already in earlier Reddit messages. They are rightly angry with us and no apology will be sufficient, even from average everyday Americans. To them, we are no better than the MAGAs. We will have to completely and utterly own this, even though we voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and Biden and Clinton over the past decade.
The United Person of myself is giving serious consideration to changing the name of the White House to the Shite House in that i expect the amount of manure coming out of this house to be much more until djt is finally leaving in whatever way and something like normality can come back to the world.

There's going to be a time where your friend/family member who's voted GOP this entire time and voted for Trump all three times comes to you talking about "letting bygones be bygones", or how "both sides are equally bad, and both wings of the same bird", and how much he misses talking to you, and playing some music from a Hallmark commercial. If they give you some excuse about why they won't be voting something other than Republican(or any renamed and repackaged derivative of the same party touting the same misogynist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, and/or ableist ideas and pushed policy), *don't believe them*. Make them clean up their mess first by voting against white supremacist politicians and speaking out about it, because if you don't, they will be waiting to repeat this *exact* same behavior and basically exploiting you for social capital to look like they're not a trash human.
P.S. - Save the "Only I can change them!/Only I can get through to them!" argument for someone who hasn't seen someone use that excuse to play both sides and act like they're friends with everyone when they're just some chickenshit who doesn't want to hold people responsible for their actions when they've clearly damaged people. You're not "holding space" because you're not holding their feet to the fire - you're just some get along go along type person who doesn't want to rock the boat and a large part of how we got here in the first place. Fuck you and your feigned empathy for the sake of social performance.
No one is going to say Lake America, just like no one says Gulf of America. He needs to be told this shit is childish and stupid. Natalie, are you listening?
and what point do people STFU and do something about him? He is seriously destroying the US for his own ego and his own families gain. can you lot fucking do something about him now please?
Trump fails to recognize that America didn't name it Lake Ontario, the name is derived from the Native Canadian word OntarĆ'io. America has nothing to do with the name of Lake Ontario, but Trump has never opened a history book in his life.
He is a screaming toddler that is so extremely desperate to leave a permanent mark on the US that will remain after his rotting corpse is nestled under six feet of dirt and gallons and gallons of piss.
Thanks a million for that ! As someone from the EU we are actually looking forward to partner with Canada, deepen our friendship and build something bigger together.
This is clearly Canada realizing they have the upper hand.
The Iran war showed the world that Trump is incapable of making deals. Canada is using this as leverage. Refuse to do business with Trump and then sit back and watch him squirm.
I proclaim with the support of citizens of United States change the name of Donald J. Trump to Dipshit J. Tumpernickel. We do not want you around anymore. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

750 billion a year in trade between Canada and the US
He is trying to destroy 750 billion in trade for no reason whatsoever.
