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.

If it sounds ridiculous to be having someone accuse you of shit you didn't do

You literally do this all the time. A vote for third parties? Not a vote for Trump, you still blame them for the election of Trump. A non-vote? Not a vote for Trump. Same goes for people who didn't like Kamala and were openly critical of her, but still voted for her.

You're being a child. Either you think Trump's election is the result of the entire electorate or you don't. There's no "except for people who voted for Democrats and were properly enthusiastic about it" get out of jail free card.

Either we're all to blame or only the people who actually voted for him are to blame. You can't have it both ways.
