Americans finding out about democracy in c/FuckTheUSA@lemmy.ca
[–] 2 points 10 hours ago

As someone from America, born in the north and now currently going to school in the south, Trump has exploited a vulnerable community. Where I am from everyone is against everything he stands for. But now spending time in the southern US I understand how he gained power. The people who support him are either billionaires who want to protect their money or people who have a deep belief in "god" and come from nothing including shitty education. Our system has always been fucked but Trump knew how to exploit that.

I and eveyone I have actually had intellectual and deep conversations with are against the 2 party system, but our system will not listen to our desires.

I know it doesn't mean much but as someone here in the US and disgusted for the past 10 years...I am sorry and I wish things were different

    I love CANADA (lemmy.ca)
     

    Hi all!

    I am a northern American gal (I know that sounds cheesy) but I visited Canada 5 months ago and I just can't stop thinking about it!! Fun fact I actually have distant relatives that are from Canada (prior to settling there were from Norway and Sweden) . I am actually very interested in the prospect of moving and settling in Canada. I am in the medical field (in the process of becoming a doctor) and really want to know the honest truths and feelings of Americans moving to Canada. It's no secret that we are a shit show. But I resent visited (only for 1 week) but I couldn't find a damn thing to dislike about the place!

    If there anything to consider or opinions that I should be aware of? As much as I would like to migrate, I wouldn't want to move to a place where I would be unwanted.

    BTW one of my fav bands is Fion and I CANT WAIT for them to have a concert in America so I can go.

    Thank you for the honesty in advance!
