      I don’t understand why so many Americans don’t get that. I hear, Canadians are upset at tariffs. I hear, Canadians are worried about border issues.

      Both are true.

      But that’s not why we’re enraged. It’s because an unhinged, racist, sexist, authoritarian, mentally challenged dictator has threatened to destroy our country and everyone there is doing fuck all about it.

        i think it’s important not to downplay the protests… people are organising the most political action that’s happened in most people’s lifetimes
