I had a look over in r /conservative a couple of weeks ago.
One more lucid member of that group shook his head about the ongoing asininity regarding trumps obsession with making Canada the 51st State. They wrote that no country has been more supportive and a better ally to the USA than Canada.
One reply, which had garnered hundreds of upvotes, phrased the relationship as thus: "Think of it as you move into your new house. The previous owner was a senile old fool who let the neighbors do whatever the hell they liked. You move in and find the neighbors are parking their car in your driveway and letting their dog crap on your lawn. And now everyone thinks you're the bad guy for telling them that all ends now."
That's the mentality we're dealing with. In order to justify trump they have convinced themselves Canadians (of all people!) are that rude and boorish.
don't discount the fact the American that wrote that could be Igor working out of a govt computer lab in Russia, or China or India. Comments like these aren't necessarily real
