I don’t think so either but talking about Canada like that is pretty fucked up. This conversation seems to be continuing starting from a few weeks back, which alarms me.
Man our house isn’t very big but maybe we have to grab a larger property with a few more rooms. Hehe.
Trump’s trying to bully Trudeau, but I think he’s smarter than Trump. You guys can fuck up our economy pretty quickly. If he hits Trump back hard, Trump will scream and run away.
But yeah, it’s fucked up. REALLY fucked up. But that’s our future.
I’m a lot like you - I’m dealing with the news on the periphery. I’ve checked out from being active. I’m a cis white guy in a red state, and I don’t have any children to fight for, and I doubt anyone is going to go after a retired white guy. You’re going riding, I’m getting more hobbies. I’ll be going to a number of festivals. Just recently went to the Texas Renaissance Festival, and had more fun than I had in years, so I’m even putting together garb for the fests next year. Planning a Musketeer and Pirate outfit already.
The Texas fest was great, in deep-red Texas, I loved that it was a safe space for gay and trans folks, who were able to be their true selves in a welcoming group of people. With the new board, being closed to the public, I’ll post photos from my travels. Call it fiddling while Rome burns.
But in the back of my mind, I think of the movie Cabaret, and the warnings it gave. This may well be how democracy dies.
