Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

I do want to feel bad, especially when hearing Canadians say, "go back to the US" like in that article. Then I hear stories about my Canadian friends going to Arizona for business and people making jokes about being a 51st state to their faces and my compassion dips.

Don’t ever feel bad for giving exactly what is being asked for.

The shitty part is that the people suffering aren't the people making decisions, but then that's what needs to happen for voters to vote for someone else.

We don't hate Americans, we just don't think about them anymore, and actively try to avoid American made things.
