America is on a quick descent into total chaos. Never thought I'd ever get to witness the fall of an empire, but it's happening right in front of our eyes. What a time to be alive. This is shaping up to be the most important election in U.S. history, and it's basically a coin flip at this point between fascism and common sense/decency. It's frightening.

100%. And it's really sad how many Americans willingly get that candidates backwards in that choice.

Trump is scheduled to speak at the Libertarian National convention tomorrow. It may not go well. Tonight, someone made a motion there for 'donald trump to go #### himself' and the crowd cheered.

These takes are always interesting. OK so it does happen, shouldn't you be moving from Canada?

I recall a video where a Libertarian speaker acknowledged that "some small govt is needed for safety- for example driver's licenses" and he was greeted with "BOOOOO!"

I always keep coming back to the story of the town in New Hampshire that went libertarian, and ended up being overrun by bears.

Yes you heard that right.

America now has simlar demographics to Brazil, so its not really surprising.
The problem for Canada is that we used to be brother or cousin countries, with similar values and customs. But now that is all gone as both countries have radically altered their demographics. Basically we are now neighboring a giant Latin American nation, that will likely descend into Communism or Fascism at some point.

It's too bad they can't remove her from being a judge.

It is weird that trump attacks judge Mercan for being born in Columbia and moving to the US as a 6 year old but not judge cannon who was also born in Colombia and moved to the US.
