    I’ve found the USA to have some of the nicest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met. Probably some of these people have been lead down dark voting paths, against their own, and the world’s, best interests. All we can really hope for is enough people speak sense persuasively enough for them to hear it. And that means being understanding, empathetic and tolerant.

      We’re trying to convince them, and so far none of them are listening.

      Families all over the US and Canada are being torn apart. I’ve never seen anything like this in my lifetime, and I’m not a young man…

      I fear greatly not just for my own country, but for the damage that will be done to the entire world if we can’t stop this.

      This comment is a breath of fresh air in this doomer echo chamber. Somewhere along the line people stopped wanting to fix things and now the people we need to save this country are leaving in droves. We need to remain positive and organized.

        Every month I am reminded that this isn’t my country. It’s my landlords country, and I just temporarily rent a basement here.

        Why doesn’t my landlord fix his country?
