    I agree he’s an asshole and a threat to Canada.

    But this is a political stunt, designed to energize his base: which polling says is enough to win.

    He doesn’t need to sway any new voters, just convince te ones he already has to show up.

    So… Not good. He laid bait, it was snapped up.

      I hear you, and I don’t think you’re wrong.

      But the dipshits are out-numbered. We can, and should, treat them with the contempt they so justly deserve. Coddling them because we don’t want to seem “elitist” or “intolerant” or “unstatesmanlike” will only foster their ignorance and feed their outsized sense of self-worth.
