Economically dependent on their northern neighbor, business owners in Washington state are laying off employees and shutting their doors.

      I don’t understand why so many Americans don’t get that. I hear, Canadians are upset at tariffs. I hear, Canadians are worried about border issues.

      Both are true.

      But that’s not why we’re enraged. It’s because an unhinged, racist, sexist, authoritarian, mentally challenged dictator has threatened to destroy our country and everyone there is doing fuck all about it.

        i think it’s important not to downplay the protests… people are organising the most political action that’s happened in most people’s lifetimes

        but it’s by no means proportional to the situation

        and perhaps more importantly: there are still a huge number of people that are drinking the koolaid

          The protests have proven to be irrelevant and ignored. Trump and his idiocy has been protested for a decade. He’s been convicted of crimes, he was declared by a court to be a rapist, when he speaks, he clearly has mush for brains, people close to him have called him a racist, he formented an insurrection. And yet here we are…

          Clearly holding up signs, even in large groups is doing fuck all.

          Thomas Jefferson had something to say about what the situation calls for.
