“Very, very senior” officials in the Trump administration have had secret meetings with far-right Canadian separatists trying to shake the foundations of the country. The covert meetings between high-ranking U.S. officials and the Alberta Prosperity Project come as a widening rift appears between Canadian leadership and the White House. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney used a speech in Davos, Switzerland, last week to call out President Trump for creating a “rupture” in the existing world order.

    It’s fair to hate our government, it’s fucking awful. It’s fair to hate the magats, they are all vile, despicable people. It’s not fair to hate the people who are trying to do good, who are trying to kick the fascists out.

    Hate the fascists, not the anti-fascists. You can do a lot of damage to the people fighting the regime by lumping us together with the neonazis.

      You’re asking for non-Americans to observe nuance that isn’t relevant to them.

      As Americans who despise Trump and have spoken and voted again him for more than a decade now, we will still be collateral damage if war broke out and they dropped bombs on American cities. Some amount of our economic activity still benefits the billionaire donors keeping MAGA in power, and any economic sanctions or boycotts they might impose to hurt MAGA will still hurt us. If we get into a shooting war with them, they will not stop to check the voting history of the soldiers they encounter. That’s how conflicts go.

      They have no jurisdiction over you to treat you as an individual, or as anything other than an American citizen. And if they cared too much about hurting you, they couldn’t do what was necessary to opposed MAGA anyway.
