The one silver lining to this whole fascist takeover of the US is that I'm not an odd one out in my hatred of the USA anymore. The exceptionalism and arrogance of Americans always weirded me out and I guess this is where that all that shit lead

What’s scary is even the anti-Trump ones are like that. There’s a lot of them trying to come to Canada and they’ll say things like “my great great great grandfather was Canadian, Canada is my TRUE HOME also what’s with all these Chinese immigrants in Vancouver??” like ma’am that Chinese man has probably been here for 3 generations he is more Canadian than you. Don’t get me started on how they’ll pick out certain stereotypes to try to sound more Canadian, like “oh I LOVE poutine and hockey, it must be in my blood because I’m TRES CANADIAN”. Like they genuinely do not get it.

The one silver lining to this whole fascist takeover of the US is that I'm not an odd one out in my hatred of the USA anymore.

I've been saying for a long time that US fascists are only bringing forth America's true face. It has always been arrogant, genocidal, and imperialist. Ask Latin America and the Middle East if they have positive view of the US. Even my country after being liberated from Spanish rule, the US took over us despite opposition and used the same suppression tactic as they had applied to Native Americans. This is in spite of US proclaiming to be the land of the free. "You are not free unless we say so". "Follow the international law and rules based order, except for us". Biden himself affirmed US will invade The Hague if the International Criminal Court arrests any American citizen. He pardoned his son from criminal conviction. But when Trump does it all, that is corruption and illegal? So much for shining beacon on the hill, land of the free and proponent of international law.

The US establishment since inception are closeted fascists from the get-go and doesn't even know it. Now, Trump is bringing to light the truth. And why not? The voters demanded authenticity and this is what they get as asked. In "The Shining", a major theme is America's colonial past and one of the quote is "you've always been the caretaker". The US has always been a fascist but never knew its real face. Where did the word fascism comes from? From Latin "fasces". Where did the words "empire" and "colony" come from? From Latin as well. Where did the US republic model itself? From the Romans, who committed genocide, engaged in slavery, practised imperialism and was hedonistic and heavily unequal as society. From anti- and post-colonial perspective, countries that either modeled itself from the Roman empire or sees itself as the next Rome always collapse-- from the British, Germans, Russians, Spanish, France and now the US.
