From an American-
I’m sure by now you all have seen our government’s ‘official response’ to your wildfires. I saw that, and as an American I am beyond appalled. Please know that the public statements made by our government do not reflect the thoughts and beliefs of the majority of the American people.
When the US had wildfires, Canada sent us significant support including numerous firefighting aircraft, air crews, and support equipment. This was not a small token contribution, it made a real difference. It saved lives and property and forest. That is how neighbors and friends are supposed to help each other out, and we appreciated the hell out of it. It is not forgotten.
To hear that our ‘official response’ to your wildfires is to threaten… I have no words to describe the feeling. I am proud to be American, I love my country, but today I am ashamed. That these things are being said as representative of me and my countrymen… it is beyond shameful. We are supposed to be better than this. Better allies, better neighbors, better humans. I am ashamed and angry that my government is representing me and my fellow Americans in this manner.
I can only say that the majority of Americans do not feel this way. Forget the propaganda you see on the news (and it is mostly propaganda). The people of this country love our northern friends, we feel for you. We don’t want to annex Canada or punish you for a natural disaster or any of this crap. We want you all to be safe. We want to help.
THAT is who we are, even if we suck at electing politicians that represent that belief.
Stay safe. Be well. We love you.

De la part d’un Américain…
Je suis certain que vous avez tous vu, à présent, la « réponse officielle » de notre gouvernement face à vos incendies de forêt. En tant qu’Américain, j’en suis profondément indigné. Sachez que les déclarations publiques de notre gouvernement ne reflètent ni les pensées ni les convictions de la majorité du peuple américain.
Lorsque les États-Unis ont été touchés par des incendies, le Canada nous a apporté un soutien considérable, notamment en envoyant de nombreux avions de lutte contre les incendies, des équipages aériens et du matériel de soutien. Il ne s’agissait pas d’un simple geste symbolique ; cette aide a fait une réelle différence. Elle a permis de sauver des vies, des biens et des forêts. C’est ainsi que les voisins et les amis sont censés s’entraider, et nous avons énormément apprécié ce geste. Nous ne l’avons pas oublié.
Apprendre que la « réponse officielle » de notre pays face à vos incendies consiste à proférer des menaces… les mots me manquent pour décrire ce que je ressens. Je suis fier d’être Américain et j’aime mon pays, mais aujourd’hui, j’ai honte. Que de tels propos soient tenus en mon nom et en celui de mes compatriotes… c’est tout simplement honteux. Nous sommes censés valoir mieux que cela. Être de meilleurs alliés, de meilleurs voisins, de meilleurs êtres humains. J’éprouve de la honte et de la colère de voir mon gouvernement nous représenter, mes compatriotes et moi, de cette manière.
Je tiens à dire que la majorité des Américains ne partagent pas ce point de vue. Oubliez la propagande que vous voyez aux informations (car il s’agit bien, pour l’essentiel, de propagande). La population de ce pays aime ses amis du Nord ; nous sommes de tout cœur avec vous. Nous ne voulons ni annexer le Canada, ni vous punir pour une catastrophe naturelle, ni rien de tout ce non-sens. Nous voulons que vous soyez en sécurité. Nous voulons vous aider.
C’est cela, notre véritable nature, même si nous sommes incapables d’élire des responsables politiques qui incarnent ces valeurs.
Prenez soin de vous. Portez-vous bien. Nous vous aimons.
They’re tired of our shit. Either we fucking stand up this election in November or we shut up or preferably both. Even if we fight back against the regime, we’re going to just be the idiots misbehaving again.
“nOt AlL oF uS!” Sure. Too late. We elected a fucking maniac, twice. A third of the population still side with him, another 20% still vote that way.
Anyhow. Your message is kind and as a Seattleite and neighbor, I too sympathize.
Thank you for being one of the blindingly small number of Americans to recognize this.
You’re absolutely correct. These performative “Please tell me I’m a good person” apologies ring hollow. It’s just #notallmen all over again.
I’m sure OP is a lovely person. But we don’t want to hear it. We are not Catholic priests waiting to absolve left-wing Americans of their sins, and quite frankly, we’re too busy shovelling our way out of all your shit to give a damn if any of you are good people or not.
Thank you for saying this. I’m glad that the realization is finally permeating.
Vote when you can. But the chance of a center-left democrat half of the time is nowhere near enough to restore the generational trust lost. People who care deeply must organize, protest, and dismantle these systems so they cannot be used again in the future of coexistence we hope to achieve.
Show us with actions. Stand up for your own people at risk, and for those US expansionist politicians and their sycophants are targeting around the world.
We’ve done it. We’ve tried. Most of the south 30% just doesn’t want to hear it, they’re tricked forever. We’re gerrymandered and rigged and cheated and they’re trying to cheat harder. I’d love to hear what I can do besides what I’ve already done - call, write, vote. What else?

Nobody is riding in on white horses to save the USA from itself.
Your country caused this, it’s up to you to work together with your fellow citizens and fix your own damn country.
The rest of the world will do what we can to protect ourselves from the harms the USA is inflicting on us, and that may weaken the bastards and help you in your efforts, but we’re doing that primarily for our own defence.
Read “The State and Revolution” and then find your local socialist organization to help build mutual aid and alternative infrastructure so we can create a dual-power struggle to replace the gerrymandered rigged cheating bullshit system where your phone calls and letters are ignored. The next time they throw a No Kings parade, instead of marching in a circle and then going home, go talk to one of the organizations with a booth or table set up. If there’s not organizing in your town, then they’re in the nearest big city to you.
You’re not getting out of this by voting every 2-4 years and behaving in an orderly fashion in the in-between.
Organize. Find out how you can hurt red state money and go out and do it. Money is the only thing that they care about protecting.
You haven’t tried very hard.
I’ll be blunt: This is nobody else’s fight but yours. Nobody else needs to help, and nobody else is going to help until you stand up for yourselves first. How hard did people have to try to declare independence from the King of England? How hard did people have to try to end slavery? How hard did people have to try to get women the vote? How hard did people have to try to end segregation? Did you need help with those things? Did you wait for someone else to tell you it had to happen before you acted?
Nobody in the US is mad enough yet. Baffling, perhaps, but true. You’re getting there, but it’s time to start withdrawing from the systems that are oppressing you and starving them of everything you can while building a new more supportive and humane system. Rebuild your local communities and organizations into something capable of fighting back. Stop participating in things that aren’t contributing to that goal. Stop letting your money go to billionaires. They are not your friends, they are not your people, and they are not making things better for any of us. Convenience is not worth the cost. Find more inconvenient ways to live, and that will also make things inconvenient for billionaires and bureaucrats. Buy local. Do business in person, with real people. Reconnect to the world around you. Spend more time touching grass. I know it sounds trite and you might not understand how that is going to change anything, but the beauty is you don’t have to understand it, it has complex systemic effects and it will start to move the needle. Will it move the needle fast enough? I don’t know, I don’t have a crystal ball, I don’t know if the world is going to burn down around us in 20 years. I don’t have all the answers, but I know what has worked in the past, and I know what they don’t want us to do. So I recommend doing that. If the government is becoming unjust, become ungovernable, do everything you can to avoid participating in their systems, maybe it’s too late already I don’t know, but I do know it’s worth trying anyway even if it is too late, there is no better option than to try anyway.
You’re wrong. We haven’t done shit. We just talk about it.
Words will not fix this - written, spoken, or otherwise.
Then what will fix this? Everyone’s so quick to tell me what won’t work. I’d love to hear what will work, and what others are doing that’s effective such that I can multiply those efforts
You’ll figure it out. You’re so close.
I’ll put this in the “vague nonsense” pile
Or the, “it’s better not to record shit for posterity and prying eyes on the internet” category.
Cheers.
They’re tired of our shit? I’m tired of our shit.
While it broods over China’s economic, military and technical advance, the Trump administration is accelerating Beijing’s diplomatic progress, as striking new polling by the Pew Research Center shows. For the first time, China and Xi Jinping are seen more favourably than the US and its president in most of the 36 major countries surveyed – including Canada, Mexico and Australia.
Only in six countries did people rate the US more highly. While Beijing has seen significant improvements in some places, the slump in Washington’s standing is more dramatic. Across 20 countries, the median percentage with a favourable view of China rose from 32% to 46% between 2023 and this year; for the US, it fell from 58% to 36%.
“best country in the world” rhetoric is a paper tiger. Maybe there was a moment, but it’s riding on fumes and inertia downhill. Collapse is a lot less sexy than I had hoped.
As a Canadiain, please stop. Fix your shit. “the majority of us aren’t like this” I don’t buy it. your people voted this clown into office…twice. And before that you voted Bush jr into office…twice. It’s the same song and dance from you.
Stop. Apologizing. I’m tired of seeing americans apologize and then do jack all about it. I don’t want your love, I don’t need it. All we and a good chunk of us Canadians want is for you americans to hopefully, one day, figure it out. not just “get good” for 4 to 8 year stints and then vote in another right-wing nutjob.
We don’t care what you people think. “Oh the Americans are blaming us for something else and slapping another tariff ‘on us’ so what?” We’ve moved on, I suggest you do the same. Now I know how people getting out of a relationship with one person who just won’t “let go” feel.
We would rather you accept that you all collectively fucked up yet again and not try and ask for our forgiveness. again, we don’t care. and stop saying “not all of us” it’s such bullshit.
Just stop talking and do something. Actions speak louder than words, I don’t want nor accept your apology.
As a Canadian I can understand your annoyance, and definitely agree that Americans who feel guilty should take action at home.
However, it’s not like Canada doesn’t vote for idiots too. The country is more or less split between left and right, and the two rich provinces are never on the left. Ontario continues to vote in Fords, and don’t get me started on Alberta. The last federal election easily could have gone conservative too.
We may vote for idiots, but we absolutely do not vote into pedophiles, human traffickers, criminals, etc.
Really? Canada has a rich history of doing just that. We just dress it up differently and forget our history instead of learning from it.
Remember Doug Ford?
For one, we’re talking federal.
And two, is he in the epstein files? Did he traffic humans?
What crimes has he been convicted of?
Canada should absolutely be worried about the same cult idiocy running rampant. The thing is that a large part of this worry is intentional USA meddling from the current regime and surrounding groups like the heritage foundation and ATLAS network pushing shit like the convoy, maple maga, and Alberta separatism.
The last one is freaky because it’s what the USA generally does to a country before trying to claim that the people want the oil to be liberated by the USA. Makes the aggressive threats about the smoke even more appalling.
We can’t do as much about our own problems when they are mostly coming from across the border. Hopefully progressives globally can cooperatively figure out how to actively prevent this fascist shit from taking over, or neo-liberal faux progressives from claiming to be the resistance while servings the corruption and oligarchs
To OP personally, you are appreciated and I hope we can all find actions and methods of cooperation that can save us from this spreading cancer.
Same in Australia, our maga adjacent nut job political party is ascendent. ONP
Le Pen in France, AfD has a lesbian swiss living married to a Sri Lankan immigrant heading a party of traditional values who hate LGBTQI and immigrants. Italy led by a Mussolini apologist, literally can’t make this shit up. Across the channel, Frarage, a grifter, is married to an immigrant leading a party against immigration, all while denying climate change amongst some of the highest temps on records.
in a world that desperately needs to draw closer. together to solve global problems…, have we always been this fucking stupid and I just never noticed, has climate change affected our pre frontal cortex ?
Exactly. I don’t get the holier than thou attitude from my fellow Canadians here. Do they not realize that we almost had PP as our pm?
Exactly instrad of posting here he should be on a highway overpass unfurling a banner that says donlal trump rapes children instead he’s here writing an apology on the internet.
No, he should be writing to his congressman, he should be writing letters to the president, the VP, the secretary of whatever.
He should write to the dickhead ambassador
They dont give a fuck about letters
Kinda depends what your write
I’m holding a bag with $200k USD, and insider information for a publicly traded company that could earn billions. This could be yours if you do this thing for me.
One down, only a few hundred more to go. Might actually be the first time I see action from one of the letters I have written to them every week since trump took office. I am also active with my local government. Still no change. Tell me what should we write and do to a government that doesn’t give a damn about their job unless it comes with cash or saliva?
Write to the president? Lol! Fucker can’t read. Might as well wish on a star.
We don’t want your apologies. We want you to start fighting back against your fascist government.
A great many of us are. It’s not easy to push reasonable candidates when our schools are doing a crap job teaching critical thinking skills and an awful lot of people have attention spans measured in seconds not minutes.
Do better.
I’m sure you’re a great human being to be friends with. /s
Explain how you’re “fighting”
Participating in the political process, opposing Trump and his ideology in discussions and debates, promoting and contributing to political candidates who oppose Trump and MAGA ideology, and of course voting against Trump and for candidates that oppose him and his ideology.
And, from time to time, using my own voice to speak out against some of the things Trump says. Such as 4his thread right here.
Genuine question, what more would you have a person do?
Participating in the political process
Everything you described is “participating in the political process.” That’s what you are supposed to be doing during the best of times. Great, you’ve stepped up to do what you should have been doing under Clinton or Obama. But see, now you’ve got a massive Nazi problem. You think baseline citizenship is “good enough”? You tell me, guy. You said you were “fighting back.” Super cute.
Jesus fucking Christ.
“do not reflect the thoughts and beliefs of the majority of the American people.”
Bullshit. The majority of people who cared enough to vote, voted for this outcome. The rest of your country doesn’t give a shit.
You elected a fucking convicted felon, rapist, child molester and known con man to lead your country. He started a party of MAGA filled with the most deplorable cunts your country can offer. This fat fuck and MAGA members attacks and insult long time allies and partners.
When the US had wildfires, we sent our people to help. Our people have died doing this. This is what allies and friends do.
Next time you’re on fire, I really hope Canada turns our back on you and says “Burn, bitch.” I know we won’t because we still collectively think of you as allies that might get their shit figured out. But the US can eat a big fucking sack of dicks as far as I’m concerned. I fucking tired of this shit.
Quit asking for forgiveness and fix your fucking house. Until then, I don’t care what you have to say.
Remember that Canada only avoided PP because America got to the election first
And Carney gonna have a hard time winning another election if he keeps on his currently strategy so we might end up with PP anyway
As an American who despises the administration and how we’re treating our allies, I agree with you. There’s no point in apologizing or trying to save face or whatever. This country needs to eat bags of dicks until they finally suffer enough to quit doing the same stupid ass shit.
Please stop sending help. Please stop acting like we’re still normal. Until Trump and enough of his supporters get beaten in the face with the consequences of their actions, they will not stop.
We stopped educating everyone with less money than the average middle class. You cannot reason with them because 1) they struggle with logic, and 2) they accept wholesale, without question, the utter lies and propaganda of the monied right-wing. They will simply have to learn the hard way, by suffering.
We don’t want words. We want actions. Use your 2nd amendment.
There’s no lasting change that can be effected by a one person act of terrorism. It takes mass organization, and people will have to be desperate. In this case, it might take civil war.
Hell yeah, break that removed up!
Why don’t YOU do it? Why don’t you travel to the US and use the second amendment? Or hell, just steal a gun and commit an act of random stochastic terrorism like you’re encouraging folks to do. You’re just as capable of any American citizen of this. In the US, guns are easy to acquire if you’re willing to steal them. And the second amendment is entirely irrelevant, as is your nationality and assumed lack of US citizenship, as the law isn’t really relevant in these scenarios. You’re talking about committing some sort of mass shooting against politicians or other political figures. If you’re not walking away from that alive; the law is completely irrelevant for you. You’re just as capable of doing this as any American citizen.
In the end, you’ll be just as dead and have accomplished just as much as the Americans you are encouraging to pointlessly throw their lives away.
What, start violent action against the state? Do you understand what that means? Like, really REALLY understand what that means?
It means your house gets bombed to bits. You die, along with your friends. Civilians die, little children die.
“Use your 2nd amendment” does sound really cool. That’s until you truly understand the consequences of this.
Isn’t the US threatening us with annexation?
Yes it is. But military action hasn’t happened. There’s no intelligence that the US is preparing for something like that. Hence, you asking someone to “use the second amendment”, is you asking someone else to die for you, because you perceive their state to be a threat to you.
Not cool.
Here’s the thing. American citizens had the chance to “fix” (well kinda…better than this crap at least) their issues at the ballot box…they failed…and failed HARD. A 2nd Amendment solution (and I sincerely hope I’m wrong about this) is what you’re likely left with. “Not Cool”…yup I’d say the situation you put yourselves into is pretty “Not cool”.
What’s the point of the 2nd amendment it you refuse to use it.
Go read Howard Zinns book that was mentioned in good will hunting
Yes it’s bloody and people will die, but that’s the price you pay if you let things get to this point.
Remember you are already being killed. You’re being kidnapped from your homes. Your children are being separated from their parents.
What more needs to happen for you to think the 2nd amendment is supposed to be used?
Thanks for the kind words, but I’ll be frank. Wanna help? Stop making everything about yourself (individually and as a nation), go fix your country’s broken-ass system, and come visit us and buy our stuff if you like in the meantime. If you want our trust back, figure out how the worst living caricature of America achieved the highest political office a second time, and how will you collectively prevent that from happening again? Personally, I’ll come celebrate when it happens, but that will only be the start of a generation’s worth of work to rebuild what was lost.
Yours truly,
Canadian fed up with the constant BS from the states.
All 100% valid.
Our problem is a lot deeper than politics. Painting with somewhat broad strokes- our education system does a shit job of teaching critical thinking and analytics, but does a great job of teaching kids that learning and research are boring and not fun and should be avoided when possible. Then we bathe these kids in a fire hose of short form videos (which we’ve exported worldwide- sorry :( ) and the result is generations of kids who don’t research anything and can’t pay attention to anything for more than 90 seconds.
The result of that is that overwhelmingly Americans get election-related information by ‘push’ channels- TV, news, advertisements. Independent research into candidates is not common. And the crap we have now is the result- not just Trump but a Congress that’s too focused on re-elections and thus has no idea how to wield power or when it should be wielded.
We’re in a bad state. It took multiple generations to get into this crap and it will take multiple generations to dig ourselves out- assuming we as a nation even have the wherewithal to realize that digging out is necessary let alone the willpower to do it. I love my country, but I’m fearful of our future, especially over the next few decades.
Honestly I worry that USA will end up like the film Idiocracy and the rest of the world will just build a giant wall around USA to keep us from screwing anything else up :(
What is your goal? What is it you think your words are going to accomplish? Canada isn’t the problem here, you are. Go talk to other Americans with this sentiment because they are the ones that need to hear this emotion from you.
I believe that in every group, outsiders will see the group as represented by its loudest and most visible subgroup, unless other members of the group take steps to distance themselves from that subgroup.
Fact is, we elected the dude. We regret it (according to the latest approval polls at least) but we still elected him. And Trump / MAGA are by far the loudest and most visible subgroup of Americans, at least I assume they are to the outside. Thus, someone on the outside could reasonably assume that Trump speaks for all of the country, myself included, unless some of the rest of us stand up and say ‘he doesn’t speak for us, that isn’t our message’.
So my goal here is to do just that- even as one person, to stand up and say Trump doesn’t speak for me, his hate filled comments are NOT my message and not the message of a great many Americans. We love our northern neighbors and we have a lot more respect for you all than our leadership is showing.
You can do with that what you will. What I hope you take from it is an understanding that we do not all speak with one voice, that there are decent people in the US and we’re not just MAGA idiots and racist hicks.
This is much better than an apology. Just start saying stuff like this instead of apologizing maybe? Might be better received ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Fair enough 🙂
Buddy, USA is already in full Idiocracy mode. Everyone has been watching it happen with horror for decades. Now it’s gotten so bad it’s affecting your country’s relationships with other countries. Stop posting apologies and learn how to do political activism to vote out the current fascists before it’s too late.
It IS the majority of americans stop lying to yourself. Go out to any business whats on the tv? Fox news. We’re a bunch of amoral greedy assholes just like the chomo-in-chief that the majority voted for. Our country is fucked.
Looks like you’re falling right into their trap. Yes, there are absolutely far too many right-wing fascist shitbirds, but it is nowhere near the majority. The fascists want everyone to think that they are the majority though, to embolden racist idiots and to demoralize good people, but it isn’t true.
Don’t let them win by giving up
No America is a selfish country who consumes to much and that is almost way American whether right or left leaning. Or is it just a coincidence that the people have more credit card debt and consume more then any other country.
Well since trump won the popular vote in 2024, it is fair to say it’s the majority of them.
You’d think so, but you’d be wrong
You can wish as hard as you might for your world view to be true there little guy, I hope it comes to be.
No, you’re falling into the “centrist” NYT trap that if we just vote for the right billionaires, they’ll take care of us. Actually the same lie maga voters fell for.
Talking to most of my neighbors, family members, and coworkers, the significant majority do not support trump, and I would say at least half are very vocally anti-Trump.
I won’t pretend there aren’t way too many shitheel Americans. But it’s wrong to imply that the majority of Americans support Trump. And to do it so confidently just makes you lose all credibility to whatever point you are making. Look at this approval rating which is literally a measure of how many Americans approve of him. Tell me what you find
A whole half are anti-trump? Wow. Fuck off, leave Canada alone you parasites.
We don’t trust any of you anymore.
I said half are VOCALLY anti-Trump. And I also said it’s not enough. So you and I are on the same side, other than you implying I’m a parasite because of the country I was born in. Which is pretty fucked up.
But my point was it harms their credibility to claim more than half of Americans support trump when they clearly don’t. And it hurts YOUR credibility to call all Americans parasites. But if you’re just here to stir shit up and be divisive, have at me.
How many didn’t vote?
41% of eligible Americans didn’t vote in 2024, which is too many, but was actually better than many previous elections.
For comparison, about 31% of eligible Canadians didn’t vote in 2025. So there’s about a 10% difference between what’s considered acceptable vs. not, by you.
So I’d ask you back, of that extra 10% Americans that don’t vote, how much of that do you think is based on personal choice, and how much is based on things like voter disenfranchisement, misinformation, and making it nearly impossible for poor people and people of color to vote in red states?
If you ask me, that 10% difference between our countries’ voting behaviors is probably more due to the government than the population. So maybe that’s where we should direct our ire? But again if you just want to hate all Americans, I’m probably not going to change your perspective.
It’s not fun to live in the US right now, nor to be lumped in with the bad apples when many of us are doing what we can to resist them.
The 30 or 40 percent thag didn’t vote are not the problem. The problem is the 80 million that did vote affirmatively for trump.
Go out to any business whats on the tv? Fox news
Not in my state
Well idk what state but like 45/50 that’s the case even in blue states.
Which blue states have you visited where you’re consistently seeing Fox News played in all businesses? I’m asking because your experience doesn’t seem to match mine.
Well, Washington and California come to mind… the reason they’re blue is that the cities hold a majority of the population and are blue. Step outside the cities and it’s Fox News everywhere. So by land area instead of population, the US west is overwhelmingly Republican.
Interesting thing is, in red states, there are a lot of blue cities too.
There are no blue States. Their are blue cities.
Small business owners aren’t people.
Then what are small business owners?
Please know that the public statements made by our government do not reflect the thoughts and beliefs of the majority of the American people.
I can only say that the majority of Americans do not feel this way.
Always making up excuses for oneself. Always failing to see anything beyond the individual responsibility. Feeling guilty for whoever’s on the receiving end of bullying but not really doing anything to stop it.
This administration is a representation of the current state of the US population, and you’re just one more grain of dirt where it sprouts. You don’t get to opt out of this just because you know it’s fucked up.
There’s no excuses. America prides itself on government ‘of the people, by the people, for the people’. So yeah, all of use share some responsibility for this crap, whether we voted for the current government or not. I mean no excuses here.
I hope you would understand though that there are some of us who have never voted for the current government, have never supported it in any way, and in fact have always opposed it to varying degrees. That doesn’t excuse such people from a certain amount of collective responsibility as a nation. But I think that there’s a difference between ‘I voted for Trump twice and I donated to his campaign and I persuaded others to vote for him but now I regret my actions’ and ‘I never voted for him, I always opposed him, and now I oppose this’.
I don’t claim to be opt-out-able. I never voted for the guy, but I also gave him a lot more benefit of the doubt more than others, including in my online postings. My only point with this post is to disavow the current actions and statements of the government, and to say that there’s lots of Americans who love Canada and support Canada and don’t support the crap coming out of Washington.
I hope you would understand though that there are some of us who have never voted for the current government
No one needs to understand this, because everyone already knows he didn’t win by landslide. Do you think the rest of the world is stupid and uninformed? That we somehow don’t remember how close of an election it was? That we somehow don’t hear over and over the same talk about absenteeism and voter suppression? I know way more about US elections than I’d like to, just because it’s forced upon us to know what’s up with you.
there’s lots of Americans who love Canada
What you need to understand is that this is not relevant to anyone else but you. An excuse to feel better about yourself.
Not relevant. Go spend your energy on real activism.
Tell it to your congressman and president guy. Tell your friends and family to tell it to those people.
We know average Americans dont hate us, but the US administration sure does.
Tell it to your congressman and president
And senator, and governor, and mayor and every other elected official who has even the slightest bit of authority over anything.
The more people who can work together toward the common goal of getting rid of the fascists currently destroying your country the faster you can get on with the task of preventing this from happening again.
The USA has a long road ahead of them if they hope to become the country they have always told themselves that they are.
This post is just like when all the Americans were apologizing for threatening to invade Greenland.
Your apologies aren’t worth shit. Go call your representatives. Go protest. Go organize. Go phone bank for better representatives. Do anything but whine to foreigners online.
Why not both? Promise you we’re doing it.
Lol…here’s the thing…“Promise?” You do realize the one thing most of the rest of the world has learned from this situation? Promises from an American are basically useless. Promise whatever you want. Stop with the “I’m sowwwy! Please tell me I’m a good boy and absolve me” crap. If the responses to your apology here tell you anything it’s that we are fed up with America’s and frankly your crap. You claim to be good people? Fine, show us. Don’t talk about it. Show us.
My dude, how do you know OP isn’t doing anything? I mean odds are they aren’t but neither you nor I know that. You’re right, a few nice words doesn’t absolve an American from anything. The only thing that will is cutting MAGA from their government like a tumor but we shouldn’t be punishing people who are claiming to help. I get the desire to unload all the frustration we feel from America on an American but it doesn’t help.
I’ll leave you with this, why hurt someone who is trying to be an ally? What does that accomplish? Critisizing an ally is okay and good. What does striking an ally do other than drive them away?
“What does striking an ally do…blah, blah blah” Excuse me but the way they have treated Canadians lately are you F’n serious? That reply is seriously tone deaf. BTW judging by the new 50% tariffs OrangeFuhrer just hit Canada with if they are doing anything it’s not very effective, lol.
It doesn’t matter if Russians are posting online about how they are good Russians that don’t support Putin. The world doesn’t watch drones attack St Petersburg in Russia and ask how many critics of Putin were hurt vs supporters. The west largely simply supports Ukraine.
The same rules apply to Americans. It’s great that there are critics of Trump in the US. Apologies are not necessary nor welcome by Americans. Americans must focus on fixing their own community if they want to offer a genuine apology to the rest of the world. It’s not to drive them away, it’s to turn them back inward instead of them focusing outward.

You’re in the minority. 2/3rds of the USA is MAGA or non-voters who don’t care.
Apology not accepted.
You have every right not to accept my or anyone else’s apology and I sure as fuck don’t blame you for it. If after the CA wildfires someone had said the same thing to us as our neighborhoods were burning we sure as shit wouldn’t smile and pat them on the back and say ‘its all good’ even if one random idiot from that country apologized. In general, it’s not up to the person apologizing to dictate how the wronged party feel or react.
That said, I would point out that ‘2/3 of the USA is MAGA or non-voters’ is not accurate.

He - a 34-times elitist felon with no clue about anything - won, over a career prosecutor and community leader with experience in the job, who was unfortunately a woman with the wrong pigmentation and unable to disagree with the policies of her current boss until she was in a position to change them.
I strongly doubt he’d lose to even the best candidate. If they could or can, foreign money making bank on this halfwit’s whims would bankroll another sketchy victory time and time again.
Tbf kamala is a fucking war criminal who should be hanged along with Biden for crimes against humanity.
That’s pretty much all US past presidents and by default the Americans who keep supporting them. Anyone who thinks this is just Biden and Kamala is dismissive of what exactly the US is and had been since WW II. But most leftists would like to pretend that this is only about Israel when it was just as much about racism and misogyny.
Yes.
Kamala Harris was the correct choice, even over abstention, in my opinion, but she is deeply uncharismatic and ran a terrible campaign that was totally divorced from the lives of everyday Americans.

False. Only 30% supported Trump at his peak.
If the US was a democracy, he never would have been able to steal the office despite not having support of the people.
“the public statements made by our government do not reflect the thoughts and beliefs of the majority of the American people.”.
brother please…
we don’t blame just the one guy that got elected. the problem is the USA people who’ve been wanting Donald Trump as their leader for like the last 10 years…
They’ll do it again…
Yeah it was possible to recover from one term of Trump. When he got re-elected there’s no coming back.
Boo Hoo. I’m really sick of reading how sorry you are when you repeatedly elect scumbags like Bush Jr. or Trumpenfuhrer and then think everything is OK when you elect a Weimarcrat. Read a few history books (if capable) and find out what to do when confronted with an authoritarian or unresponsive government. A lot of the rest of the world understands that as bad as Trump is, he is merely a symptom of a deeply sick and diseased society. Yourself , like a lot of Americans, think a strongly worded tweet somehow absolves them of blame. It does not. Fix your s**t and stop whining online.
So are you getting rid of your own Weimarcrat or just whining online
Exactly. We aren’t.
I think folks who comment unhinged (and rude) stuff like this just do so to sound “cool” or whatever.
I really fail to comprehend their end goal when they say shit like this. It just needlessly makes everything toxic and hostile.
Thing is Weimarcrats are actually tolerable when their society doesn’t crap up a fascist movement. And it’s not whining. It’s an attempt to motivate (probably futile tbh) a bunch of sad sacks who don’t have enough sense to come in out of rain.
Don’t be sorry. Be better.
You elected him twice. This is America now.
THAT is who we are, even if we suck at electing politicians that represent that belief.
No. You’re a bunch of fucking bloodthirsty treatlerites, who kill, rape, murder and pillage the rest of the world, so that you can live like kings.
Since WWII, you’ve couped dozens of countries, killed millions of innocent civilians, and contributed to the climate crisis more than any other country in the history of the planet.
In a just world, we would have Nuremberg style trials for your leaders and military.
I pray for the collapse, dissolution, and balkanization of your country, so that the rest of the world can continue to function.
Death to America.
I’m sad that .ml has infiltrated this post.
I pray for the collapse, dissolution, and balkanization of your country, so that the rest of the world can continue to function.
Do you realize that a balkanization of the US entails horrible conditions for the civilian population? For people who had NOTHING to do with anything? Little children?
Can’t you “pray” that the US instead, move towards being a peaceful, progressive society? A society that helps itself and the world?
Also, what exactly do you think you’re achieving by saying stuff like this? Nothing that you are wishing for is likely going to pass. The people you want punished aren’t going to be punished. All that it does is make you insufferable, and poison the entire discussion for everyone participating.
