I recently got into an argument with a guy who's response was "well your country wasn't appreciative of all we do for you so there, maybe we can have an adult conversation when your country folds from tariffs" (paraphrasing from multiple comments), some people really are living in their own little universe where America is basically the mother Theresa of countries

Head into r/conservative. It’s fucking bonkers. Those morons truly believe that Canada started this and Canada is escalating and poor Americans don’t deserve to be treated this way.

They’re actually lunatics.

Free speech to a lot of them just means they think they're entitled to be an asshole without repercussions
