    I peeked into conservative subs, and people are cheering “owning” Canada for not treating us fairly.

    …WTF? Has this been going on for a while?

    Other than family with some Canadian ties, the only real sentiment I’ve heard before the inauguration was is that Canadians are overly polite, even among conservative family. The fentanyl thing seems… what?

      Like a blatant fucking lie?

      This whole bullshit trade war is based on Trump lying. About everything.

      This is part of how we know it’s a cult they’ve formed. Probably for many on both a personal and a societal level, they’re getting isolated from friends and family who warn them, and will believe whatever lies they’re told by the cult leader scamming them. It will probably take some hard economic realities in their day-to-day lives for the ones who are capable to break out of the spell they’re under. And even then, there will likely be a cluster who double down repeatedly in the belief their “win” is just over the horizon, like the tragic BBBY investor cult.

      Some conservative sub’s are being heavily moderated and comments are mass deleted. Some I notice the top comments gave very few upvotes and only two standing comments that agree

      I’ve only seen this recently myself, when the orange shit stain started mentioning trade deficits… but they seem to grasp that concept about as well as they do tariffs.

      An argument I’ve seen is that the Canadian druglords are just that much better at getting drugs through the porous Canadian border without getting caught. Yeah I know it’s ridiculous but it’s so hard to fight this antilogic particularly with government data disappearing as we speak…

        That doesn’t make sense and isn’t even how borders work. Most countries are not concerned with what leaves but what comes in, because their laws stop at the border. The states certainly doesn’t care about all the guns leaving their country for Canada and Mexico.

        When entering the US, it’s the US border guards who are doing the checks. Perhaps they should improve their own border security.
