    If you think trump is the greatest American then you probably belong in either prison or a psych ward.

    Ah yes, but you see, I’ve recently discovered that all Republicans are most likely cunts, so we shouldn’t take their opinion too seriously

      By character he is the worst perhaps. His lack of ability is his only redeeming quality.

        Dunno. Was there ever any record of stalin raping and killing kids, hitler selling fake phones to the nazis or mousellini arresting an olympic athlete for allegedly cutting a 350’ swath of liner from a pool? Did saddam ever get caught on tape saying ‘grab em by the pussy’ in arabic?

        I think not!

    He is america manifest. Many see him as ugly, but many also see him as their man, because he is like them. Plain speaking, insaitable greed, and bigoted

    Imagine being Trump and seeing this.

    It’d be so hard for him not to share the only poll where he’s beating Obama.

    He’s competing with Buchanan for worst president ever. That even being a conversation should be embarrassing.

      Buchanan barely makes the top 10 worst list. Jackson and Wilson did far more damage to the country directly. Heck most of Buchanan’s presidency was just cleaning up the infighting of Jackson’s cabinet. Top 5 worst? Three way tie between Jackson, Wilson, and Trump for first. Polk and either Nixon or Reagan round out the top 5.

    Either way, he is the most american American in history. He is the essence of your wretched country. You may strive to be something better, but this is who you are.

      Thanks for the pointless generalized hatred. Really helps us get better, being hated by assholes on the Internet.

        Please note this is not directed at you personally as I’m sure you are a good person on an individual level.

        Speaking as a Canadian I, and many of us, are absolutely fed up of your bullshit because regardless of if you personally voted for that shithead and every other shithead around him like Lutnick or Hoefstra this is who the country wants representing them.

        This is also not new behaviour. We have known for decades we are attached to a big brother we love dearly but also happens to run a meth lab in their house and beats their wife.

        You need help. Honest to God you need help. Yet all your country can do is punch down and wail about the rest of the world not bending over when you tell it to.

        We tried helping you get better. We continue to try because we love you. But Jesus Christ get your shit together.

            How could we not care? You’re our brother after all. But it hurts a lot so much that yes we are making distance now. Not because we stopped caring, but it hurts us as well.

            Regardless of what people think about Carney or Pollievre the numbers show average Canadians are not going to America anymore and average Canadians want to distance ourselves from America.

            Americans writ large are not aware of the generational damage being wrecked on their nation. This will take decades if not centuries to heal at best and may never return to what it once was.

      Not really any different than so many other countries taken over by bullies. Humans suck everywhere - it’s just a matter of when in history (or future history) you chose to look that you catch some being worse than others at that moment. Jump to another time, and the game of musical chairs will have the bullies sitting somewhere else, but still doing the same shit.

      It really sucks because there are some core ideas that are really nice, completely overshadowed by the country’s terrible behavior. The things we were led to believe about ourselves in school would make for a genuinely good society. The secularism, multiculturalism, access to opportunity, many freedoms beyond reproach, etc. Our leaders have for centuries now talked about these and still mostly failed to deliver.

      Well that’s on all of us, but given the outsized influence of the rich, I’m happy to shirk much of our responsibility onto them.

        I don’t think you had a choice in the matter of oligarchs already having a million times more power than we could ever dream of having.

        Never said differently. Like you said, we aren’t any more special than anybody else.

        There is a chance we’ll make it through this better than we were, however. Progressives have been on a roll since Mamdani won NYC mayor late last year. Hopefully that continues until there are enough in place to displace the establishment politicians and make REAL changes that work for everybody.
