Deep blue cities in deep red states can be pretty great places. Austin’s another example.

Maybe I’m dreaming, but I hope that all these people suffering because of the GOP makes some red states shift to purple, and some purple ones go solidly blue. But, I really wonder if it’s a lost cause.

Under every GOP president in the 21st century, Canada has been attacked. Under Bush Jr it was because Canada refused to join the US in attacking Iraq after 9/11. Canada sent soldiers to Afghanistan (a step-cousin of mine died there), but thought the justification for attacking Iraq just wasn’t there. That led to months of tension with Americans boycotting Canadian goods. Of course it wasn’t just Canada, it was Europe too (the famous “freedom fries” BS).

Then the US elected Trump, not just once but twice. A quarter century of this kind of thing means it’s more than just a fluke This is who the US is, and the country really can’t be trusted anymore. Sure, under the next democratic president things might get back to normal for a while, but it’s just a matter of time before the country elects someone like Ivanka Trump or Meghan McCain or something.

I don’t know if the US will ever win back the world’s trust.

I would bet that even once American brands are back on the store shelves, a lot of people are not going to go back to buying them.

“That means hard-working Americans—corn farmers, truckers, distillery workers, barrel makers, bartenders, servers and the communities and businesses built around Kentucky Bourbon will suffer.”

I think this part was supposed to make us feel sorry for them, but to me this says: “That means that REPUBLICANS will suffer.” Give us some credit, you might know shit about Canada, but Canadians know the demographics of Trump voters.
