Settle down, Canada. You’re almost being hostile! 🤭
When the US finally gets deMAGAfied, be careful to put things back the way they were. We don’t want to end up with a Lake Mexico and a Gulf of Ontario now…
Why would we put things back the way they were? The way it was led us to this.
But sure, we can fix the stupid renaming nonsense.
“The way things were” as in “not a fascist hellhole”. There’s plenty to fix in a normal country for sure, but the first step is reverting it to a normal country.
Also, I was talking about putting the names of things back to where they belong.
You’re going to have to go back pretty far.
The problem is, the US has never been a normal country. Ever. Not a single one of us is unaware of the danger the US posed to humanity. We just always assumed that the people of America would always keep it in check, if for only their own survival and self interest. What Trump did was prove to us all, is that this assumption was false. America is not the special case we thought it was.
So now, the only thing we can do is recalibrate around the reality that it is not, in fact safe to have the kind of relationship we had before. Not just for one administration, but ever. Because if it happened once, it can and likely will happen again.
Some lines you cross, don’t have a normal to go back to.
TIL - Bryan Adams is still around and making decent music.
