A message from the great white north: get fucked Americans.
We are.
Id love to be not here, never particularly wanted to be here to begin with. Wish i had made moves to leave much sooner. I pretty much expected this result for most of the year before the election, just from my interactions with other people
Finally got around to watching season 4 of The Boys today and that was not good for my mental health. Fucking hell the parallels to whats actively happening...
As an American I share your "get fucked" sentiment in regards to the general populace, just don't forget the other near half who are vehemently against all this.
The other half isn't vehement. They don't care or think it's not very nice, and a small part is vehement.
If we get too vehement the police will execute us in the street, and this country isn’t worth dying for.
Keep us at arm’s length, stay friends with everybody else, and enjoy watching the US burn to the ground. Hopefully the next tenants will do better.
It's not really about dying for the country, but for the victims.
More than half of Americans should’ve turned off the corporate news and galvanized against Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
You misspelled 2016
The number, whatever it is, is still too high but I doubt the claim of “half of adults over 18” is accurate.
Surveys like these do often have implicit bias, because only a small portion of people would be willing to take them when offered. For instance, phone surveys dramatically overrepresent Republicans because almost all the people who choose to complete them are quite old. Additionally, people with more extreme views are more likely to complete political surveys than people with moderate views, especially those who aren't very interested in politics. These are all biases that are difficult to account for.
