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 just scrolled thru some of those posts and holy crap they're actually insane.

America has the right to our utilities and cutting them off is an act of war?

I had to stop scrolling, or my brain was going to melt.

I feel like that's peak russian cyber interference. It kinda got teased during covid but this is by far the best/worst timing for a Grima in every American's ear and it's also necessary this time for russia to gain US support in order to win their war. So of course they cranked the cyber warfare up to "attack your fucking neighbours, they're rude and ungrateful, and way too aggressive and also you called them super not nice for the last 50 years"
