Americans... I am done with your country. I live near the border and used to go across all the time. I'm not spending another cent down there, and will avoid all your products like the plague your country has become.
We support this, please do. Many of us also don't like what's going on and America needs to feel the pain from other countries in order to have a chance of fixing this BS. I'm tired of wealthy elitist men telling us what to do.
You think the American citizens really have a say in any of this shit?? This shit is all a charade and controlled by a small group of people. Average American citizens just happen to be born in America and is just trying to survive and get by in this shit hole
Yes. Americans did have a say. 77 million said "hell yeah I love this party" and something like 85 million said "eh, whatever is fine" and didn't bother to vote at all.
I literally just had a guy at work here in the Bronx come in and show me the video and he loved it. Couldn't stop talking about how awesome it was that Trump did this to Zelensky.
It's disgusting that anyone would support this kind of behavior. Period. It makes us all look bad, and we can't afford to lose any more allies (assuming we have any left). It blows my mind that tRump has cozied up to Russia and has managed to cut ties and piss off every sane country left, and all in less than two months? Wild.
It's a reasonable assumption that the non-voting public would more or less follow the same distribution as the voting public if they were forced to choose. And that cuts both ways.
American conservatives will say "good riddance" or "oh no! anyway" like some sad, edgy loners. Christ, how did such weak people ever get to power. Russia really did a number on their minds. The US is losing friends, fast.
It's even worse than that: America will lose future allies as well. The world now knows how fickle and untrustworthy the U.S. is. Trump is pulling out of WTO and allying with China and Russia in the U.N. and trying to withdraw from NATO as well, as well as going back on trade agreements he made and eyeing invasions of allied countries. Why would anyone want to ally with them ever again?
Yes, please avoid the dumpster fire we have become. Every day is a confusing blur of what previously would have been satirical articles from The Onion but are now actual policy changes being made that do not benefit a single person they are pitched as helping. I hate everything that is happening and just want to do what I can to keep my family healthy and safe.
I think about those jurors that were brave enough to convict Trump of criminal charges, I know they have some restless sleep. Seems surreal that he was actually found guilty and nobody cared.
One thing I think Americans do need to reflect on: why are you saying this?
Are you trying to avoid blame and the feeling of shame or responsibility? Or are you trying to be a genuine ally?
In many ways, this is not dissimilar to how we've seen a lot of white Americans react to Black/Latino/non-white minorities: 'don't blame me - I'm not racist'. Maybe not, but are you a genuine ally?
When it comes down to it, are you just trying to salve your own feelings, or genuinely trying to help? We'd love your help, but we don't have time to make you feel better. Even if it's not your fault, it's still your country and your responsibility.
So: join us, but we're actually trying to resist, not assuage your guilt.
Do something about it! American's are about to start WW3.
Delusional Clowns.
Germany was in a desperate Position, starving to Death when they decided to become Nazis.
Americans are just plain stupid.
I've donated thousands of dollars to aid the US for various reasons. Everything from disaster relief to Boston Strong. I'm done. I'm even feeling like I should get a refund for trying to help. I hope that Trumps expiration date is close.
Frankly, as an American I'm worried about the power vacuum that would be left behind if Trump dies. I hate him and everything he and his party stand for, but I feel like he is just a talking head for his owners at this point.
This is more than just 2016 and 2024, this is the result of decades of propaganda and brainwashing via the media.
Better to donate to someone directly, perhaps through a go fund me. American Charities and Donation programs are just as corrupt as our government and major companies.
Good. I don't blame you. And to up the ante I'll be visiting Canada more often. I live in upstate ny and I love coming up to Quebec to spend my American money on your economy.
I mean I’ll never be back. There’s no administration you guys could vote in that would get me to forget the threats to our sovereignty. I will make sure that my children and grandchildren will know of the days when the US threatened war with Canada and Denmark, assuming Canada still exists by then.
I have always hated Tesla and have cancelled my Amazon subscription. I call five of my state representatives every single day. I donate as much as I can to organizations fighting this shit. I don’t know how to take it further.
Don’t have any ties to this country until we are a functioning democracy again that does not tolerate fascists again. The maga fascists, shitler and the oligarchs are taking advantage of the rules of civilized society and using them to destroy our democracy. I wish I wasn’t the only one in my family to see this danger but here we are. To the free world, us actual Americans will not hold any pain you send our way against you. We understand that you all must protect yourselves from the fascist republicans. They sold their souls for money and power; the rest of us are trapped on the plane with them as they crash it into a mountain. Please make sure you are not nearby to hopefully avoid collateral damage.
Okay, I get the sentiment. I hate this guy too, and have not ever voted for him nor would I ever do so.
But hey, I’m just a guy who lives in Colorado, loves my state, my family, etc. I don’t know why you need to insult our entire country over one jackass. It was basically a 50/50 vote (Which is sad and embarrassing) but there are a lot of dumb, desperate, and misled people here. And then there is the other half.
First of all, those of us who didn't ask for this (like me) are sorry, and we're trying our best to stop the damage. We like having our Canadian / Mexican friends here and exchanging goods and friendships.
For now, by all means. Teach everyone who actually wanted this to happen a very hard lesson in economics and how to maintain friendships. You have our support!
1000% American here, please tell all your friends, family, coworkers to do the same.. I’ll hang out in Canada all weekend before I so much as rent a movie in America ever again..
It’s worse than “3rd world”, 3rd world still has lots of love and family fun.. America is almost dystopian, school children can be shot in the head and we’re more concerned with tax breaks for the rich and defending celebrities .. smdh
What's really frustrating is this is precisely what Russia wants. They want people like us (also a Canadian) to isolate the USA from its allies. We're playing directly into their hands.
But at the same time...part of me doesn't care? Why should I tolerate this pseudo-fascist bully on my doorstep? You talk of annexing my country and I should just laugh it off?
As an American, I fully understand and support that. I'm devastated by what our country has become, and how we've burned bridges with our trusted allies in the span of one month. The country belongs to Putin now. We're an absolute joke.
We were saving for a number of years for a big holiday in the US (from Scotland). There is no way I'm setting foot in that fucking cesspool now. I'll maybe come and visit if the Republicans are ever kicked out of office. And once Trump is no longer breathing.
Seems harsh considering considering most of us are pretty pissed at this turn of events as well.
You have the slightly above one third of eligible voters who voted for Trump, slightly below one third who voted for Harris, and a last ~third who are so disillusioned with politics that they didn't vote at all.
Everyone I know is as horrified about this turn of events as you are :/
I've even heard of many who voted for him being in disbelief because they didn't actually think he'd do this stuff. They were pissed about inflation, blamed the party in power, and thought it was just rhetoric.
Do something about it. I don't give a shit about who voted for who. The end result is what matters... Your method of government turned you from the world's most respected superpower into a Banana Republic overnight. Pathetic.
Fact is, unless you have a billion dollars in your bank account theres not much you can do. This didn't happen overnight, we're seeing the results of efforts that began in the 80s. Look up the federalist society if you are curious about what I'm referring to.
nope, its all of our problems, We let this happen. We were too pacifist in any attempts to curb this vile extremism that led to the current state of affairs. America needs a literal spanking.
It doesn’t matter how you feel. It doesn’t matter what “the majority” feels. Trump is in office. The kids at Sandy Hook are still dead. Come election time you may not have the choice to vote. Your country is a shithole and at some point you have to accept that.
Well... that's their problem, and they will have to live with it because sorry... but that is being extra stupid.. gotta be harsh here.... You see him say stuff like that, you watch him yap about, presenting himself for election with those same words... and they just go on, brush it off as funny (?) And vote for him thinking it's not gonna go that way ? Like do they live in reality ? Is life a game for them, because, there's 2 way for that kind of thinking, you are either dumb af, or you truly don't take life seriously (They must be living a sweet life without too much consequences). Because how do you vote for him, while at the ..... Ah yeah... because yall only have 2 choice to vote for....
Sorry to give you a dose of another non-American (from your Hat) POV, but what you as a country chose to elect, we have to deal with. We don't get a vote in this, yet we get to be told to be annexed by you and we'll be so much better off.
So, it may seem harsh to you, but it's even harsher to have no input and be given the thought we have to fly your stars and stripes instead of the maple leaf.
Our ire is at you as a country, and we will stand beside you when we see America waking up from the reality you are unleashing on the world.
You must not know many people then, because by and large Americans either voted for this shitstain, or at the very least were okay with him being president enough to not be motivated to vote against him. You don't elect someone twice in a democratic election and get to say "this is not who we are".
That's what everyone keeps saying, do something. Do what exactly? We're clearly beyond the point of protests actually doing something, so I'm genuinely asking, do what? Armed resistance? How do you even go about organizing something like that, what do you strike?
Show it then. Until that will I consider USA (the country, not the people) hostile to Europa and will do what I can to stop supporting it in as many ways as possible.
I've even heard of many who voted for him being in disbelief because they didn't actually think he'd do this stuff.
Forgive me for saying so, but, in my humble opinion, such people shouldn't even be trusted with enough money to buy a stick of chewing gum, let alone being allowed to vote. Fortunately for their sorry selves, Trump, his handlers and his cronies are taking care of both issues. Unfortunately for the parts of the world where democracy is a thing, our biggest ally just joined the 'Axis of Evil' because of them. I can't blame his base, they're just... well, at least they're more decisive than the other ones.
I’m limiting spending for the next four years and any trips will be abroad. Fuck this place.
I’ve actually debated the idea of getting a master’s abroad and trying to get the post-grad work visa just so I could get out of this place for at least this buffoons term.
If they want isolationism, give them isolationism.
I’m an American and I’m not sure why you’d come down? I’ve visited Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto and was blown away by how clean and fun they were. Not to mention all your beautiful wilderness and generally low population density.
Lol I’d like to visit more if you let people in with DUIs and other charges but I totally get why you guys are mad at us and President Cheeto-fucker
As someone who also grew up a few hours south of Winnipeg, in deep Red territory, I've already left the country. Left during the first term, actually, but now I'm actively in the process of pursuing citizenship in my wife's country.
Yes! As an American, the only thing Trump and his lackeys care about are their pocketbooks. Stop buying American. Stop visiting America and spending money here. Make trade agreements with other people. Don't give us any more than you absolutely have to.
Who really cares that you announce this? Just do it and do what you want with your money like people normally do. America is not crying over you. But keep in mind more stores and apps are American so make sure you delete everything and cancel all your subscriptions.
Great, we know, its like your aunt telling you how shitty your abusive stepdad is, we didn't choose this guy the other people that live in our house did.
Do what you want, but piss take... half the country is suffering a hostile takeover and the other half have been brainwashed into thinking this hostile takeover is for their benefit. Nobody is winning here in the long run. I pity us, and you should too.
I understand fella, both of our nations will not prosper from this. We will all have to make sacrifices and compromises in our daily routine to adjust to new standards/conditions, whole sale product/materials (especially lumber, and food products). Our border states ( VT, Maine NH will feel the backlash first and this will be evident in the coming months/years. I hope it works out for both of us. Please don't generalize all of us though, we still have decent humans. You will still have many very like-minded friends in Maine/Vermont if you did decide to visit again.
As an American please do this. I can’t boycott everything that’s American so I’m buying local. Crush the empires make trumps buddies bleed.
As a lgbtq person my country turned its back on me for lower prices. I can’t wait to watch it all tumble.
