I feel for Americans and how terrifying it must be right now....

It’s also not easy living in a neighbouring country, having to look over your shoulder all the time, wondering when the virus is going to hit here.

Hope to God you guys can stop this nazi bullshit otherwise North America is never going to be the same.

I’ve never been more glad you guys came out revolution instead of evolution like we did, so hopefully you will fight.

Not the coronavirus. The coronavirus will eventually run it’s course and disappear. But we don’t know where this seismic political change is going to take us.

Hell, we can hardly get people out to vote.

You guys in the Great White North have had your own rumblings of RW shenanigans. We all need to stick together.

During the election there was a threat on Justin Trudeau’s life so severe that he had to wear a bulletproof vest on stage in front of the crowds of people in Mississauga. When I heard about this, I was sick to my stomach. Thank God he won the election but the right wing did take their pound of flesh.

I feel like I am living in a slow moving nightmare.

The majority of Americans are clueless as to what is happening.

A minority are brainwashed beyond redemption.

It is terrifying.

Many are too cowardly to vote for what is best for the country.

They listen to the talking heads and pundits telling them who will win or who to vote for.

This country will never recovery.

190 unqualified right wing wacko judges have been appointed.

The republicans in the Senate are Trump's cheerleaders and enforcers.

The Supreme Court rarely sides with 'We the People'.

Corporations and monopolies rule.

Jump from 30 to 60 corporations that pay zero taxes.

They keep making it harder and harder to vote.

It is such a fucked up mess.

The first 29 minutes with no commercials.

We are hanging by a worn thread.

I think Canada is way too close to the problem. You would probably be better off somewhere in Scandinavia or maybe even New Zealand.

I cannot imagine ANY situation in which I will EVER regard the repigs as a valid political party ever again.

A few statesmen need to rise up and denounce the Orange Tater Tot. If they keep their heads down, I think the Dems take the Senate.
