Sorry for mention politics here, but after The Annoying Orange insulted you guys, I just want you to know that the vast, overwhelming majority of us here in the States still love you guys, and I hope you know that most of us hate him.

Don’t worry too much about bringing up politics, I don’t mind it.

Yeah, it’s just a lot easier to focus on the problems sometimes, I think? Like, sure, the majority are against him, but the ones that aren’t are a vocal minority.

“is that he gets less (and generally better) publicity in the USA.” That’s definitely true. They’ll occasionally mention something dumb he did, but they’ll usually just talk about him when he disagrees with Trump on something. It’s like the French president; I’ve read that a growing number of French people disapprove of his policies and what he’s doing, but here, you only hear about him when he badmouths Trump.

Oh, this has been here a while now. Oops. But yeah, that’s what I perceive it as, and I’m glad it’s not just me.

so i just got to see the incredibles + the incredibles ii and, while i’ll probably talk more about it when more people have had a chance to see it, a couple spoiler-free tips, tagged anyway because some people undoubtedly want to go in totally blind:
tip #1: the second one feels like it works best directly after the first one
tip #2: the credits are gorgeous but there’s no post-credits scene this time around

TBH, I’m American, and from what I’ve seen, Trudeau seems to be much more popular and liked in the US than he is in Canada (though in our defense, literally anyone, even Doug Ford, looks good in comparison to Trump).

My best guess, though please remember I’m a certified idiot and not that informed compared to like, 90% of the people I know, is that he gets less (and generally better) publicity in the USA. Meanwhile, we have to live with whatever his decisions are, so we end up hearing a lot more of it (and living it), if that makes sense? It probably doesn’t, honestly.

to everyone who voted liberal or green party and is as horrified at the results as those of us who voted ndp: sometimes it’s honestly about the lesser evils, you know? nobody’s campaign was ever gonna be perfect, but now we’re all fucked together, and we can’t even know for absolute certain how fucked we are.
