Yeah, I saw the homophobic tweets from that stupid bitch a few hours ago. But I decided not to get exercised over someone named "Canadian Girl" with a Trump avatar. Fuck whoever that is.

I dont get why homophobs flock to Trump. He had the first openly gay cabinet member and only worked against the T as far as I can see. I guess I should also say, I dont get why people like you think these types represent Trump.

I also don't get why Canadians are so obsessed with US politics, but again, people here act in the same way so...

I lived overseas (from USA) for a couple of years and people there were obsessed with US politics as well. What they said to me was that it's because the US has so much influence they had to care. The level to which they cared seemed to have more of an effect on their lives than anything the US actually did. I'll admit though that I am probably blind to some influences. Just as a tall person will take for granted being able to reach the top shelf and a short person being able to sit comfortable on public transport.

Yes, I know well what you mean. "It affects us as well" seems, hmm, maybe. Ok. It once did, in the Cold War say, but does it really effect you in your daily life? I say this as a 1st generation American with PLENTY of serious criticism of our MANY problems. But sometimes people abroad go so far the other way, just reflexive Yank-kicking that's just dumb, bitter, uninformed, from people with NO experience of American life. They think we're all Yosemite Sam religious fanatics and that African-Americans are being lynched every day. ANYWAY, at least we're not dull, lol.
