I’m from France. This election has really opened my eyes. I simply had not grasped the level of tyranny exercised by the media, big tech etc. I’m doing my share too. I’ve contacted your Senators, have explained that POTUS victory meant victory for us too, that our future and freedom depend on yours (I truly believe it) and that they have to fight and stand with us. I have thanked judges, even though they are only doing their jobs. I have thanked Mo Brooks and Tommy Tuberville. I speak to people, show them times when the media conveyed fake news. Not all care to listen but some do. I have registered on Twitter, thought I’d be a digital soldier, but got banned (you can say things like “Trump won!” but you can’t state facts and the Constitution - the irony if it, I know-, or your account gets restricted, so I’ve abandoned that pathway. I have also registered with a political party and have given money to it too. I’m doing my share as you’re all doing. It’s a fight worth fighting. It is tiring and time-consuming but when I kiss my son goodnight, I know that I owe it to him to fight, so that his world is a good one to live in as a future teenager and an adult. I’ll see you tomorrow in the morning. Keep up the good fight. Good night, pedes.

Funny, Canada's conservatives are claiming it's the US that's a constant flood of 3rd world immigrants into Canada to get in on free healthcare.

Though Canada's government also importing them and is blatantly racist against white people in choosing whom it imports

Canadian here. Canada is fucked as far as I can tell. Maybe not so much Alberta, but most other places. I'm in my 30s, and I don't think I've met anyone who even knows what politics is. They might know the name of the leader of a party, like "Uh... I think I've heard of that name? Maybe?" Media is completely corrupt in favor of government, significantly worse than in the US.

No one cares because no one notices really, among the regular population. You could go to downtown Toronto, or Vancouver, or Montreal, talk to ten thousand random people... and maybe 3% would even know what a political party's publicly stated position is, let alone what they're actually doing.

As much as America is going through fucking crazy shit now, it's way better than what Canada is up to. It's like we're the nation of Netflix - work, get taxed beyond belief, watch corruption rise, but hey, you can watch Netflix and eat Doritos. Real shame, there are a lot of cool Canadians out there, but no where near enough to turn the tide.

You may be right. I worked in Toronto some years back (I am American), and early on, I asked my Canadian friends how often Canadian federal elections were held.

I never did find anyone who actually knew.

Man Toronto is a great place and I obviously cheer for their sports teams but that place has been totally compromised by the number of unions who control everything.
