We’re a bit busy protecting ourselves from the US.

You Americans can fix your own damn problems.

It’s well understood by business people (at least by competent ones) that if you do something that makes your customer leave, they dont come back.

or something ultra specific that is super easy to source from any other country, to exclusively hurt the american businesses

That was part of what went into how Canada chose the targets of our first rounds of counter-tariffs.

Product categories that we also make here, or can easily get elsewhere or can comfortably do without for an extended period of time.

That combined with a consumer led boycott of anything "made in the USA " and even staunch Republicans like Mitch McConnell are starting to push back against Trump.

Cult leader is accurate.

we don’t hate americans, we hate the asshole and his goons.

Though we are increasingly frustrated by those Americans who are sitting on their hands, and not actively trying to save their country from the self-harm it is currently experiencing.

Every time I read news about Trump I always wonder what his end goal is.

I interpret it as some combination of staying out of prison, getting richer, serving the demands of those who have blackmail on him and self aggrandization.

He’ll say it’s all fake news and that he is simply going to make everyone agree to his most perfect, absolutely bestest deal ever!.

This is America’s future. Conscription is in Project 2025

Americans could still prevent that future if a few million of them got off their asses and took action against the fascist takeover of their country.

But that would get in the way of watching American idol, and HoneyBooBoo reruns, wouldn’t it…

Most people haven’t seen friends die.

And they didn’t learn the lessons from their grandfather’s experience.

Coming soon to a “democracy” near you…

If you got any idea how to rally a bunch of spineless

I don’t understand Americans and how to motivate them.

I would hope an actual American would have a better idea about that than this Canadian dude…

Note, though, that it wasn’t the youtuber who submitted it to Hackaday.

I’ve had a couple of my videos show up there and I have no idea who the user was that submitted it, nor what their motivation was.

(Yes, I saw the username, I mean it was a complete stranger who did it)

Be the change you want to see.

Organize.

its embarrassing how many of us are for the craziness.

It should also be embarrassing how few of you are actively fighting back against the collapse of your own country.

Those few hundred person protests? They should be millions. And they should be constant.

That’s the only way you’ll reclaim your country from the fascists who are taking it over and destroying ~250 years of progress.

It would be cool if you and your fellow citizens (millions of you, not just the handful who have been shouting into the wind so far) got together and did something to prevent that implosion.

The only country threatening Greenland is his country.

They aren’t really. At least not in any great numbers.

And that’s part of the problem.

And in those few other examples, it’s not a position that has any particular importance to the state.

Where the US first lady has often acted in a pseudu-ambasador role.

The term “second lady” most certainly existed long before this.

But only in the US as far as I know.

Most other countries don’t have a title or official position for the spouses of the elected heads of state.
