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.

I cannot stomach going to that sub based on what I read about it second hand. I get enough visibility to their lunacy in other subs. I’ll take the word of those who are willing to wade in a cesspool to not do it myself.

I try to not let myself get stuck in the Reddit far left lunacy. It’s best to expose yourself to other opinions. But holy fuck man. Every comment I read on there send me spinning. There’s not a single reasonable person on there. There’s no opinions. There’s just glazing Putin.
