    Also this is the second time Trump has been elected. Whatever excuses people have, I can’t look at this as a one off or crazy event. I have to see this as the future of American diplomacy and how we can expect to be treated.

    tRump is not an aberration, the world is now seeing the USA with the mask dropped. Oligarchy is baked into the U.S. constitution, rich white males have ALWAYS held the power there, despite all the window dressing and PR campaigns. The county was founded on genocide, built on slavery and imperialism, they burned women at the stake for fuck’s sake. The slogan “Kill a Commie for Christ” is not just a bumper sticker for half of them, but a bucket list item.

      Who would have thought you where founded by rich white men who didn’t want to pay taxes and your still ruled by them. I know you have fairy tales to tell you otherwise but…

        Let’s not get too high-and-mighty though.

        For just one example, the reason BC’s old growth forests are something like 98% gone today is because a bunch of rich old white men sold off most of the forest-bearing land to… themselves and their friends. Canada had (and has) its own oligarch infestation.

        They had to lay on the fairy tales quite thickly to get the proles to fight their war for them.
