I think it's more about class warfare than healthcare specifically. All my European friends are cheering him on too despite not experiencing hardship with healthcare

    Everyone in Canada here loves him too. It’s absolutely about class warfare.

    I mean....that doesn't count. Canada loves EVERYODY. It's the Mr Rodgers of countries. Not that that's a bad thing. I'm just saying it carrys about as much weight as your grandma pinching your cheek and saying you're the MOST handsome boy.

    Aside from the fact that you just offered a stereotype as an argument, you didn’t even get the stereotype right. Canadians don’t love everyone. Canadians are nice. That’s the stereotype.

    And we aren't even nice. We are just spineless and struggle with honesty. It's all just for show

    My girlfriend was very much in the club of “murder is bad no matter what” until I explained exactly why a health insurance CEO would be targeted.

    Europeans are famously derisive of the American healthcare system though, so for whatever reason they seem to care specifically about his impact on that. I think in general America looms large around the world, economically, militarily, culturally. And certainly online. Having something to feel superior about seems to provide a channel for pent up frustration or resentment. Because believe me there’s no other reason for Europeans to care as much as they do about how much my healthcare costs.
