    They usually have one trump flag on one side and a “fuck Trudeau” black flag on the other side. Sometimes it’s one of those “no step on snek” flags. Why? A lot of people think Canada is part of America. They watch American news. They testify in court about their first amendment rights. A SIGNIFICANT population of Canadians are MAGA Republican.

      I mean I felt helpless during the US election but I feel helpless when I hear stories like this as well. What on Earth am I supposed to do in cases like these?

        People are like this because we all have flaws as humans and our education system has not kept up with technology. The only thing I can think of is to educate and help people realize things on their own. That inoculates them against being taken advantage of.
