    As an American, let me thoroughly reassure you: we don’t want Canada to join the Union either.

        in charge of a country of under-educated, mouth-breathing, inbred racists, with a soupçon of imperialism.

        I’m not disagreeing with you, but I hope you don’t think Canada significantly fewer of those degenerates per capita than we do.

        Yours might be a slightly different flavor, and they not be as emboldened as ours – but those shitbirds are universal and will absolutely destroy Canada just like the USA if you’re complacent.

            Xenophobia does not in fact imply a phobia. It is specifically the dislike or prejudice against those of other countries.

            That being said, you’re obviously justified in being pissed off at the bullshit going on right now, but that’s a very common boomer defense along the lines of “I can’t be homophobic cuz I’m not afraid of them I just hate them”
