The Canadian government has insisted that information on domestic goods is readily available to all trading partners, even including nations that recently elected a felony-convicted game show host to be their head of state. Instead, the United States has decided to employ a rarely-chosen trade tactic that international economists refer to as the “fuck around and find out” model.
Those who voted certainly did. Those who chose to not vote did also. I don’t live in America but it was incredibly obvious this was coming. America chose to be represented by by this guy who said quite clearly what he was going to do.
His owner/donor fElon said as much, too. That we are going to suffer, but it will be worth it (to billionaires, I’m sure, not to the peasants he thinks need to “live within their means”).
Wait, I voted for Harris, but I chose this?
I’m talking about America as a country, not you as an individual. I understand your frustration - I went through Brexit as someone who voted to remain and very definitely didn’t vote for a government that chose Boris Johnson as a leader.
I understand. There’s definitely a lot of frustration.
It never ceases to disappoint me that people could look at Boris fucken Johnson or Donald duck and think “yup, that’s da fella I want to lead us”.
You may not have chose this but too many around you did. I believe if you’re not okay with what’s happening you have a responsibility to make noise and tell those around you that nonsense like this has to stop.
Apparently we all did. Outside of individually storming the white house and getting shot in the process, turns out all of us might as well have been sitting on our thumbs. I mean really,how exactly were we supposed to counter some of the absolute dumbest people on the planet that might as well have marked a ballot with a crayon?
So we’re pretty much all the same now, even if we are extremely opposed to Trump. That means everyone that has a piece of shit leader or government is responsible for it if they are a citizen of the country. I totally understand why everyone shits on the USA and their citizens, but it’s pretty disheartening when you try to oppose the bullshit, but still get lumped in with everyone else.
