Anyone else up here notice the older folk are waaaaay too invested in US politics these days? Jail time fully deserved.
Their politics makes its way up here, so when a fascist leader rises, bringing with him anti-blackness, and anti-LGBTQ+ perspectives, it leads to a rise in that disgusting hate in Canada too. We can see that in our Conservative Party having become much more radically anti-human than they were 5 or 10 years ago; electing Skippy as their leader, who was groomed to be a neo-fascist by Harper himself.
While i somewhat agree and understand your point.
I'm mainly referencing an observation of mine on the odd hyper focus on US politics amongst older folk, when youd imagine there'd be more of a focus on internal political issues, like of what you mentioned.
Historically the Conservative Party was left of the Democrats. Now they are Republicans and the Libs are as right as the Democrats
Is you're referring to the US party switch, you're being awfully confusing about it.
(For those that don't know, the Republicans used to be the left and Democrats used to be the right. They switched in the 60s.)

Ya it's all my mom pays attention to I think. Doesn't even know about the wildfire 100km from her house
Its wild, most of the 50+ people I've spoken to recently its all "trump this. Biden that.". Instead of being worried about half the damn country being on fire haha.
