    Trump happened to the United States

    I would argue that Americans knew for decades that he was a piece of shit. Why they continued to vote for him is something for psychology professors to explain.

    I hope that Canada never becomes that ignorant, and my worry for the future isn’t really with our politicians, but more with our shifts as individuals.

    Where I live, we’ve got a resurgence of violence towards visible minorities, and racist graffiti going up in public places (libraries, etc.). My concern is that a growing number of bad people will vote for bad politicians, not that good people will vote for bad politicians.
