The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsNot sure why this had me so upset. There is a post on Instagram where the woman is talking about
how hard it is to travel now in the world because when you tell people where you are from they just immediately think "Trump" So she is wearing a Canadian flag to help stop that.
And the first 4 comments I read are Canadians telling her to stop saying she is a Canadian because she isn't. It is like they don't want to be associated with us.
God, I know what it is like now to be from a shithole country. But I would never tell anyone to stop saying they were American if they just wanted to stop harassment. It is not that big a deal.
Here is the link in case anyone wants to check it out.

(23,574 posts)My father was Canadian so I have cousins up there. I don't know most of them well but one I talk to routinely and she doesn't blame me for our shit show. Then again, she knows me. But she really hates Trump and she always brings him up and we talk.
I also have a cousin in the states who voted for him twice and thinks China is our biggest threat. She took Ivermectin for Covid and wore these black rocks to protect herself against 5G, (I have to admit that when she first told me to buy them I did but I just stuck them in a bowl. she would wear them as jewelry all over. ) She was also very happy to hear about Trump's peace forum, or whatever it is, and thinks it is a good thing.

(23,574 posts)That 5G was going to be very dangerous (This was over 6 years ago). And there was one Rich that was from RUSSIA and only RUSSIA that would protect you from it. I ended up buying some online like an idiot and put them in a bowl. Then I read a few years later that they could be radioactive so I threw mine out and told her.
She never meets a conspiracy theory that she doesnt live
