It's hard not to, when their party is full of people supporting the same policies as Trump is implementing, and precursor positioning which helped mould the US into the position it could be taken by Trump. Then they use our tax dollars to go down there and promote vile organizations of hate, the very same that Trump champions.
Honestly I think you have to be a bit dull if you don't see the UCP, Smith, and their policies as a shadow of Trumpism, which is hallmarked by polices such as anti-queer bigotry, anti-intellectualism, seizing control(APP, Policing, ####ing bike lanes), Christofacism, anti-disability, overreach, exceptionalism, and disdain for anyone less fortunate than they are(Alberta oil gives us the power to despise the rest of the country for "getting in our way").
I'm not sure PP is quite as extreme, but I'm not willing to find out by putting him in power. Like, why risk that?
