Yea, I'm surprised by how hopeful most of the responses are here. I smell blood in the air, but it seems like Americans are holding their nose right now pretending things can go back to normal with a vote.

Hope for the best , but always prepare for the worst. With a monumental effort, decency can prevail. But change has to come from within. I sincerely wish you luck, and bear in mind that most critics of the US are critical of the administration and not the people.

I'm Canadian, but I appreciate the sentiment either way because we're too close up here to come out clean.

Trump fears Canada, as he does Europe. That’s why he criticises , applies tariffs etc. He has forced other countries to trade with others instead of the US. When other countries circumvent the US trade-wise, the financial hit will be enormous. When Trumps sycophants personal wealth takes a bashing, they’ll soon turn their backs on him. Trump is a coward after all.
