    Trump won a majority, and the GOP won the house and senate. It’s not all US citizens, but if it’s not a majority, it’s close enough. Is it really a coup if it’s what the majority wanted?

    This is hardly a new thing for the US. The world has seen the US elect Bush Jr, who alienated the world with his desire to invade Iraq. Remember Freedom Fries? At the same time that was going on, Canada, which did support the US when it invaded Afghanistan, said that Iraq was a bridge too far, and refused to participate in that. The result was the GOP drumming up anti-Canada hate, people boycotting Canadian products, etc. Then in the years since Bush, the US has elected Trump not once but twice. This is who you guys are now.

      Nope, respectfully I disagree. It isn’t who I am, and it isn’t who anyone I associate with is. Have you ever considered that First Past The Post voting is incredibly problematic?

        Yeah, FPTP sucks, but pretending “this isn’t who we are” is just sticking your head in the sand. If it isn’t who you are, you should probably move to a country that better reflects your values.

            Depends on the languages you speak, what you do for work, whether you’re moving alone or with family, how much of a culture shock you could take, etc.

              Yes, it does. I think I’ll stay where I am, thanks. There’s plenty of sand for me to stick my head in. Have a great day.
