I can understand the tensions from the housing crisis, and I can also sympathise with not having a lot of personal sympathy for the Americans moving right now, who most likely won't be refugees as such, but just people with the financial privilege and ability to choose where to emigrate.

But long-term, depending on how shitty the shit-show will get, there might be tent cities for persecuted Americans in the future, both for you and for us here in the EU (and, ironically, in Mexico, of course). You can say that you don't like it, and you have every right to - but at least in my eyes, it's an international duty to human rights when that point comes, and I, personally, won't give a shit what people feel, then. The international community will have to take them in unless we want to follow the international trend of fascism and say "empathy is the problem" like Elon. (Even though I actually don't think this would be about empathy, it'd be about upholding what remains of international standards, duties, laws and human rights, eventually with force if necessary)

I’m an American who fucking loathes the democrats and hates the nazis here. I just want to move there to be there to be with my fiancée

I didn't say anything about supposedly "good" Americans. My point was that the people staying here either can't leave, or are trying to fight it, or they MAGA. It's the MAGA people you should be worried about. They are the ones cheering the fascism on, and will start shooting first.

People downvoting you are failing to recognize that while we are a colony of the English throne and have germanic overlords on our money, the current colonization process by the USA is through capitalism, entertainment, and geopolitics.

Much of canadian resentment comes from the wearing away of our differences by sheer bulk of exposure exacerbated by the typical lack of awareness by colonizers of their own personal role in this damaging process and its effects, interpersonally.

Colonizers often deny their association with the process.

Oh maybe some visitors or US migrants understand intellectually. But culture is not very conscious behaviour, and the heroic individualism and assumptions of cultural supremacy that they bring will rankle most Canadians at some point.

Also take off yer fukan shoes in my house, eh!

I know whenever I meet new people from a different country, the first thing we talk about is how they feel about the different political parties in their country, and they always feel super strongly positively about their government. If there’s one thing Americans traveling abroad just won’t shut up about, it is their good feelings about the American Democratic Party.
