One thing that has helped me the teensiest bit is that even though he got the popular vote, he still got less votes than he did in 2020. It doesn't help me to know that so many people were blatantly apathetic or misogynistic or whatever we're blaming the lack of democratic votes on, but at least he got less votes than before.

Ooooh like the Winnie the Pooh shit that really got in that guy's head. I'm into it.

Look maybe they'll go the Canadian way of reeducation and integration instead. That works super well I'm told. I'm also told it definitely doesn't count as genocide so they'll be all clear. Great plan.

/s in case that's not terribly obvious

Happens in Canada too, only we actually have multiple parties. but the left sides tend to split the vote more whereas the right manages to have less splintering and usually will back one of the major conservative parties. It sucks honestly but I'm okay with it because at least I don't feel my vote is wasted when I vote for an alternative.

Isn't there something about the president having to be American born too? Keanu was born in Lebanon and is Canadian. I think he probably has dual citizenship with the states but it sounds complicated....

Also holy smokes he is 60???

I generally agree with your points on not wanting to create echo chambers; however, another reason for temporarily banning the topic imo is not just to block people talking about it but also to protect people who are already hurting, grieving, and generally just trying to find some sort of escape at the moment. Creating a space that will guarantee a temporary escape is nice, I think.

Ok just hurry up and get your citizenship so you can help us vote against the guy who's trying to be like Trump, thnx.

Clearly not only cis white men voted for him though. And those people are definitely going to be hurt, and I'm sorry to say but they will fucking deserve it.

Hey maybe when their meth lab explodes we'll also have a swift death :(

This is so. fucked. up. I'm not American (and thank fuck for that), but I'm actually feeling so ill and worried for y'all. I think it's time for me to block/unfollow any American accounts and news cause shit's about to get really fucking bleak.

Ugh make it stop. Watching this past BC election was stressful enough.

The sad part is, as much as I hate PP, I'm so mad at Justin and the libs supporting him for not smartening the fuck up on this. People don't like you, move the fuck on so that your party has a chance FFS. (But for the love of god don't let Christy Clark step in lmao) 😭

Similar situation but I was at a work event sitting next to a colleague I didn't know very well. We work in IT so our boss had placed a bunch of fidget toys at each table. After maybe 10 minutes of us being there, she grabbed one and said "here, you need this".

It did actually help me that day and now I just carry one with me or else just stim with my jewelry, which I hadn't noticed is something I do until that day.
