The average Canadian's understanding of politics, especially geopolitics, is that it's something like sitting at a big table with your first grade class while a teacher is present. They think being "nice" has value. They think being "morally right" has value. They genuinely think that America is a big meanie head with a stupid cheeto president and the whole world will protect Canada because they're the kid getting bullied, and then it'll turn out like some stupid episode of Degrassi or whatever where Trump gets humiliated and is forced to apologize at the end and learns a lesson about why you should always respect other people. They are like that one stupid fucking kid in grade school who would be very annoying and moralize to everyone about everything, then run to the teacher whenever other kids would tell him to fuck off. That's Canadians, politically.
They are completely delusional, and it's how we got into this mess. At some point, both the government and the people started to believe their own bullshit. This country is a political echo chamber, and Trump just kicked the door in. Unfortunately for the members, there are no reddit mods who can ban him.
