The collective outpouring of admiration for a young alleged assassin points to a gaping void in American politics.

    Everyone in Canada here loves him too. It’s absolutely about class warfare.

      I mean…that doesn’t count. Canada loves EVERYODY. It’s the Mr Rodgers of countries. Not that that’s a bad thing. I’m just saying it carrys about as much weight as your grandma pinching your cheek and saying you’re the MOST handsome boy.

        You should pay more attention to history. Specifically the wars we have been in…

          Which Indians, the answer would probably be the same though.

        Aside from the fact that you just offered a stereotype as an argument, you didn’t even get the stereotype right. Canadians don’t love everyone. Canadians are nice. That’s the stereotype.

          And we aren’t even nice. We are just spineless and struggle with honesty. It’s all just for show

            I’ve now lived long enough to actually meet a couple of Canadian assholes. They exist.
