No matter how good a person could be, I wouldn't trust them if they are easily manipulated in believing BS. I won't hate them, but I won't trust them.

Anyone with an bit of judgement could see what Trump was. And yet he was elected. Twice!

So all these "good people" have cpntributed to elect a fascist twice already. You want me to trust they won't elect another one after him? That this is a two times mistake and Canadians can rely on the US after that?

Nope.

Maybe they were lied to about Trump. They will be lied to again by others about other fascists.

You can blame education, oligarchs propaganda, whatever. Point is: Canada can't rely on the USA, even if Trump goes away.

This might put some of it into a better perspective...

You would be amazed at how easily you can be manipulated...

You will probably sit there and say not me never, but you probably have been manipulated and tricked into thinking differently and didn't even realize it...

And you've been graceully and entirely missing the point of my comment. So maybe you should wonder what state of mind you're in right now?

It looks to me that you're more here to push a narrative about manipulation than discussing the topic.
