You know, DOGE, fascist president and corporations dictating what people can do, institutions being ruined, laws being ignored. Is there any way out of that or is it over? Is the USA done?

    a process of internal reflection on how we can not end up like you.

    Better focus on that really hard, because the rise of far-right parties around the world shows a lot of people are heading in the same direction. Absolutely condemn us, but watch your own back yards as well.

      You’re 100% correct. My unscientific polling suggests to me that 8/10 Canadians thought Elon was a force for good about a year ago.

      We also had a cadre of MAGA north sticking flags on their cars, honking nonstop, shitting in the streets, and blocking the capital and the border when we had COVID restrictions in place. Today, zero percent of them would have a problem being the 51st state, for all their bleating about it being about them protecting “my freedoms” for me. I’m proud to see our flag being displayed this time though, because I’m not dubious about the motivation, but this is no time to stop being vigilant about what little democracy we have left.
