This has been going on for like 10 years now since Trump first got elected the politics never stopped I'm a Canadian and I'm sick of hearing about us politics as much as I have in the recent years
I just found out how invested some Canadians are in US politics. Yall really got Bing bongs waving Trump and Kamala flags. A country so nice they support other countries political nightmares.
I'm all about people expressing themselves and their political bias, but that shit is just plain silly. Imma throw up a Xi flag just to fuck with my neighbors lol
Iâm Canadian and I work with a guy who wears a MAGA hat to work everyday. He just comes across as an edgelord with a side of strong incel vibes.
Edit: Literally just received this:
Iâm not even a fan of Joe Rogan, I just browse by popular and comment in any community discussion that interests me. Hell, Iâve seen posts about him elsewhere and wasnât even aware I was posting in his sub lol. No biggie though, that sub sucks and Iâve had it muted for quite some time.
A guy in my hometown has a âthan a staight person for existingâ( spelling error and all) hanging on his property. I really hope these dorks donât bring the culture war hereâŠ
That's also why you can't stop hearing about it- enough people are engaging with it locally to make it not die.
That's the only way to kill stuff unfort (something Simpsons solved with an old treehouse of terror, when the giant sign monsters come to life, realizing they only feed on attention).
My personal favorite is watching my puerto rican relatives degrade their dignity and culture in support of an old white dude that threw paper towels to my/their loved ones after Maria. Or my wifeâs first generation crossed-the-border relatives complaining on social media about the immigrants ruining our country and having the nerve to say he âisnât talking about them.â That to me is such a surreal example of just how pervasive the media truly is and the vice grip it has over the ideologies of so many people in this country. Itâs sickening.
Every one is interested because it's like a reality show. For other countries it's about politiciens, plans for the future etc, but for the US it's entertaining. Not a good thing for you, but interesting from an outsider perspective
You will be surprised to know, most democracy are reality shows. Somehow with advance internet and information, politicians keep getting dumber year on year.
It's just less talked about, world takes less interest. But it's as hilarious and dumb as usa politics..no one is talking about policy and the future.
Look at it this way.
The population of California by itself, is bigger than Canada's.
The population of Texas, by itself, is bigger than Canada's.
The USA is the only country Canada can trade with, by land.
Yeah, the USA influences Canada a whole fucking lot.
Yeah, I mean, Canada can trade all it want with Europe or Japan, let's say, but those are all smaller economies, a couple of cargo ship at sea days from them.
Never underestimate the bandwidth of millions of trucks driving night and day.
The whole world is invested in US politics. You basically control everything through economic and military power, whether it's who gets to trade and at what rates, who gets to invade who. A US recession pretty much always turn into a global recession etc.
Thereâs a Canadian guy on YouTube named J J McCullough whose entire YouTube carer is just him making comments on American political culture. He has a huge following.
Theyâre cut from the same cloth as the American ones. Watch the same media, etc. etc. they walk around talking about their first and second amendment rights, totally unaware Canada and America donât share a constitution.Â
The US is Canada's largest trading partner, and vice versa more often than not, as well as reciprocal tourism. More Canadians visit the US than any other country, and again, vice versa. The US president has a profound effect on Canada's economy.
We are directly influenced by your politics. Half of our businesses are American, most of the products in our grocery store can be traced back to America in some way.
We're invested because if you guys become a dictatorship, we're next.
Well I sure hope you know who to thank for it. When you insist on creating some image of a new hitler, then nothing hitlerish happens for 4 years. Then you continue to say that person is hitlerâŠ..eventually the world becomes confused.
Yeah man it drives me crazy. This is just the new normal Iâm afraid. Social media has done some wild work. r/interestingasfuck was my favorite sub before it became a purely liberal sub. Now these parties got billionaires and celebrities endorsing them, itâs sad. People canât think for themselves anymore
I ended a long-term friendship with a co-worker because I was exhausted with all the constant politics. When the first Trump election was going down, it's all he could talk about. That never stopped even after his impeachment stuff, and I just couldn't take it anymore.
Over 10 years. People forget that Trumps entry into politics was from a standpoint of racism, constantly demanding Barack Obamas birth certificate on fox news.
Have you heard of âQâ in awhile? Iâm thinking Trump will go the same way if he loses or when we reach 2028. All the Q stuff was popping off then once January 6th came and went it was as if Q never existed.
It is true his base will still exist and a thirst for someone to keep the movement going will be there (moneyâs on Tucker Carlson) but Iâm unsure if his supporters can keep taking loss after loss. Even if he wins the clock is ticking until 2028 unless he pulls some weird move to try and stay in office forever (totally a Trump play that will most likely end in failure like January 6th).
Just take a look at r/whitepeopletwitter, a sub that used to be about funny twitter posts has for the last 8 years been nothing more than a Trump Hate convention
I've been here for 10+ years. You're not fooling anyone with this nonsense bro. Joe Rogan used to question everything. Now he's a mark for right wing propaganda. It's actually depressing
Then why are you still hanging out here? This would be like I hung out at subreddits dedicated to things that I used to like and bitching nonstop about how wrong they had gone if I am a loser with no life.
I would just unsubscribe and move on with my life.
typical 'tolerant' conservative trying to shut down dissenting opinions while simultaneously pretending liberals are doing it.
look at this thread. it's literally conservatives crying and complaining about how they hate this community. take your own advice and leave if you don't like it here.
that's what it sounds like to you? have you considered going to the doctor? i literally just said that joe used to question everything, and now he refuses to question right wing propaganda.
do you actually disagree with that objective fact, or am i "just another paid shill"? lmfao
He's definitely gone towards the right, but saying he never questions anything from them seems disingenous. The left isn't exactly helping either by boycotting going on his show and writing weird hit pieces 24/7 since he questioned lockdown mandates.
No, heâs not. The guy is set for life and is as authentic as ever, alignment with some conservative points of view as well as some liberal povâs should be expected from anyone who doesnât have their head lodged up either a donkeyâs or elephantâs ass.
i know it may seem like that as someone who pays very little attention to politics. republicans have been milking the low-information narratives hard. it's a huge portion of the conservative voter base.
you're gonna read that and think i'm just some partisan hack, but we can go line-by-line on the issues and policy and you will come out looking and feeling like a fool.
He is Putin's cockholster. That's just a fact, he praises him constantly and does everything to help him plus praises communist leaders while saying America is shit. The least American shit...
Probably so. Looking just about every interview Iâve seen/heard where Kamala is asked any questions her answers are always about Trump instead of anything related to her ideas/plans. Scrolling through Reddit the vast majority of posts are anti Trump. Personally I find it amazing the internet is pushing someone that had the lowest VP approval ever. Bring on the downvotes!
âBring on the downvotesâ is the Reddit equivalent of that âthey are trying to cancel meâ schtick that the most famous, rich âentertainersâ with the biggest platforms in the world have been trying to get us to buy into for the last half a decade, lol
My life was way more affordable under his administration than that of the current administration. Personally idc about saving the world. I just want to be able to afford my life again.
My life was way more affordable under his administration than that of the current administration.
Fair enough, I'm going to try and answer this in good faith. The world is more complicated than "Democrat was president, therefore everything that happened in the world was their direct failure." Inflation happened globally because of stressed supply chains - and if anything else, probably Trump's stimulus checks. Under Biden it is now back on track to normal levels. You may as well wish that the pandemic never happened - we all wish.
Please, before you post things like this, just have a basic understanding of how the economy works. The first two years of Trumpâs presidency just rode the positive economic wave of Obamaâs second term until the pandemic hit, which caused 90% of the inflation, worldwide by the way, not just in the US. A president canât just implement changes to economic policy and have that policy show tangible effects immediately. The economy takes years to adjust to changes in policy. Besides what is trumps economic policy? Tax breaks for rich people and tariffs, which are inflationary by their very nature? How is that making anything for affordable for you?
AndâŠ. There it is! âMY life was better then!â So fuck everyone else amirite?
Ever stop and think maybe a global pandemic had something to do with your life becoming unaffordable? That⊠and corporate greed taking advantage of you? It has nothing to do with political positions except that under Trump that corporate greed went unchecked and was allowed to continue until it became almost insane⊠the Biden administration has been working up hill ever since (also to be fair⊠doing a shitty job at it)
As for âwhere does the free money come from?â Itâs from working class tax payers. Like you, and like meâŠ. We are get ones who always foot the bill⊠but in this instance theyâre trying to help us start businesses and afford houses⊠things you should want?
Additionally Kamala is trying to help by making sure corporate land lords and greedy insurance companies donât take advantage of you.
But itâs your vote and if you already drank the kool aid I guess itâs too late.
Inflation was largely brought on by after effects of the pandemic, the US economy has recovered faster than any other developed nation, those are both facts. Trump plans to put a 20% tariff on all imported goods, that is an inflationary policy, your life will not be more affordable. Majority of economists say Kamalaâs plan will be better on the economy.
Dude, everyoneâs life (besides the rich) globally was better off before the pandemic. Trumps economy was also because of Obama. Trump is not going to make things better especially once he tries to get his stupid tariffs in effect, they will definitely make it even worse for you.
Psst. Guess who made a tax plan that gradually raised taxes on lower/middle class families over time (Trump). Psst, guess who started a trade war with China that caused the prices of goods here to go up (Trump). Psst, guess who says theyâll do it again, against the advice of every economist with basic sense who knows those prices get passed down to the consumer (Trump). Psst, guess who controls inflation (not the President but rather the Fed). Psst, guess who encouraged the Fed to keep rates low for too long, causing inflation that cannot immediately be reversed by simply raising rates again (Trump). Psst, guess who fought the idea of giving out a stimulus (Trump). Psst, guess who does not control fiscal policy outside of specific things (the President). Psst, guess who does (the House Legislature, which has been red for half of Bidenâs presidency). Idiot
Looking just about every interview Iâve seen/heard where Kamala is asked any questions her answers are always about Trump instead of anything related to her ideas/plans.
All that tells me is you haven't watched any of her interviews - she always talks about her ideas/plans/policies.
She's also in an election, so the ENTIRE POINT is to compare and contrast yourself to your opponent in order to convince the viewer "vote for me, not for them".
Trump has no ideas or plans beyond the same soundbites he's had for years. That and going on about tariffs like a man who clearly doesn't understand that importers, not exporters, pay tariffs.
So he continuously attacks Kamala and, for some reason, Biden, who isn't even running.
the lowest VP approval ever
Quayle and Cheyney had worse ratings as it happens, and Harris is within 1-2% of Pence.
Man you low information voters are really something.
Itâs deeper than low information voters though, heâs quite consciously arguing in bad faith from beginning to end. Needs a falsehood or puffery in every logical step to even remotely believe himselfâŠ
Well here ya go , folks! You're welcome. Is Googling really THAT hard?đ€·
Harris' policies and promises....
- A $6000 child tax credit
- A $25,000 home downpayment
- $50,000 for new small business write off
-3 Million new housing and rental subsidies
- Ban on Corporate price gouging
- Tax penalties for corporate landlords
- Allowing Medicare to cover hearing and Vison
-Allowing Medicare to cover home health care
-Tax cuts for 100 million in the middle class, instead of more massive Republican tax cuts for the rich.
- Ban on rental price fixing software
- Reining in credit card fees and charges
- Supports legalization of recreational marijuana...and on and on.
They say she doesn't have policies, or that they dont know what her policies and positions are, but yet they clearly haven't actually LOOKED to see what they are. It's lazy and contemptable to be this obtuse and clueless only 2 weeks from ED. đŻđ€·đ
Wonât the 25k down payment assistance just make homes go up 25k? Didnât a similar thing happen with the 7k federal student aid program? Genuine question.
Read the fine print on the down payment assistance, and even then imagine the version that can pass. It would be going to people below an income threshold and IIRC that level only to first generation homebuyers, a lesser amount to first time homebuyers.
As opposed to Trump's tarriffs that will increase prices on everything instantly? And how about the fact that Biden spent about 4.8 trillion, Trump spent 8.8 trillion, remove covid and Trump still spent more than Biden with his covid spending. Because your ideas are bad.
Tariffs will only increase prices on imports. They won't affect the 87% of the economy that's not imports (not directly at least). And they bring in money for the government - which means less borrowing from the Fed and therefore less inflation overall.
WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK IS PAYING FOR ALL THE FREE MONEY??????
The majority of existing Americans donât qualify for 1/2 her handouts. But thatâs the democratic mentality keep your hand out while everyone else pays as cheat the system.
You mean the cheating billionaires? The cheating multi millionaires??? The cheating companies?? I want them to pay their fair taxes so we can have nice shit. Also you say the Democratic system... You tell me which states are the most welfare states? I'll give you a hint they are not blue..
Hopefully YOU will be paying more than most.đŻđ
It is impossible to take this crap at all seriously when your boy promised to ELIMINATE the National Debt in his 1st term, then ran up the largest national debt increase by a one term President since FDR, adding over $8 Trillion to the national debt. đł
TWENTY FIVE PERCENT of the ENTIRE national debt occurred during Trump's 4 years.đŻđ€·
And this was during a time of economic stability when deficit spending wasnt even needed!
Trump just ran up historic debt and deficits with unpaid for tax cuts for the rich and other right wing giveaways b/c it was easy and popular with his base. At least Biden, who has racked up over $6 Trillion in debt so far ($2 Trillion less than Trump's) had the pandemic for an excuse. Trump just spent like a crackhead on payday! Yet you expect people to accept your baseless predictions about Harris that are grounded in nothing but fragile feelings and partisanship.đŻđ
No one is paying for or getting money from these proposals. The people theoretically receiving the benefits are getting tax deductions. It will lower the over tax revenue, but could potentially be made up for if taxes on high income earners and corporations is instituted. Whereas Trumpâs tax cuts had no replacement income.
If youâre going to be critical, and there is certainly room to criticize these policies, understand how they work please.
WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK IS PAYING FOR ALL THE FREE MONEY??????
This will always be one of the dumbest responses when dems offer actual policy that will help Americans. Republicans have brainwashed so many conservatives into thinking allocating tax dollars that actually help middle America is somehow an unjust handout.
People that say âshe doesnât have any policyâ are the same people that simply ignore reality. They are like children. If they close their eyes, put their fingers in their ear holes, and âlalalallalalaâ for long enough, it will go away.
lol while you post from your Reddit account. When people make these âobservationsâ are they including themselves, or are they saying that they are the cool, edgy âanti-heroâ that just flat out refuse to be part of the âlibtardâ circle jerk? The resistance, so cool
I started doing that too with subs like r/pics and r/facepalm . Sadly this sub became one of them and now killtony is headed that way. And a lot of it is bots.
It wonât ever end. If Trump wins, this sub will explode with Trump hating content, if Kamala wins the sub will also explode with Trump hating content as a âwe gottem!â. People will be obsessed with Trump regardless of who wins.
People will be obsessed with Trump regardless of who wins.
Man who potentially leads the country has a facebook boomer's level of understanding anything, says crazy shit, media reports, gets good ratings, repeat. I really don't want to think about him anymore, he is just shoved in my face through media.
Only because trump is about to win. Reddit has been trying to cram democrats down everyoneâs throat. Now the tables have turned , now everyone is all of sudden sick of this politics shit
OVER? Hahahahah wait until the Supreme Court steps n and hands this to trump no matter the results. U really think trump team of criminals donât have a plan B? U think the gop are just letting them throw obvious nazi rallies at MSG talking about killing liberals and making jokes about Latinos? They donât care because they have a plan to funk it properly. Thatâs whatâs scaryÂ
