I feel like, sometimes, people think the impact here is bigger than it is. Not a lot of what we discuss is going to convince anyone but the people discussing it. So when it comes to Trump vs Biden, it’s pretty unlikely that criticism of Biden on CalgaryPuck is going to have any measurable impact on voting in the US. You know?
If it makes you feel better, he didn’t plant any seeds because nobody respects Azure and nobody takes seriously anything he has to say.
90% of his posts are frantic arm waving and eye-roll emojis as he proceeds to put together some of the dumbest points you’ll ever read on this site. Once you get used to it and realize nobody actually takes it seriously, you’ll laugh it off.

Thanks.
We can do something though.
In Canada, we can vote for people who believe in democracy. We can reject propaganda sources like Rebel News, Tucker Carlson, and various right-wing propaganda media sources like Breitbart. We must fact-check sources we see on social media or Facebook. We must not put people in power who reject democratic ideals. Those people must remain on the fringe, never rising to power, no matter how charismatic they are. We must be intelligent, informed voters. Otherwise, what's happening in the U.S. could happen here. And if Trump wins in November, it's not only the U.S. that's in trouble.
We are in a new chapter in the history of the United States. And as my Trudeau quote above alludes to, this affects Canadians. With authoritarianism openly supported by millions of Trump supporters who don't have the wherewithal to recognize an autocrat, or to recognize they are members of a cult of personality — and with MAGA members actively stalking and hunting members of the Democratic Party, as well as actively and openly encouraging civil war, if Trump is re-elected, this does not bode well for the United States. Therefore, it does not bode well for Canada.
