well, if they overthrew trump, prosecuted his administration for their crimes, addressed inequality, banned guns, gave their people healthcare, built a yuge wall between church and state (and made the megachurches pay for it), and rectified the racism and other bigotry pervasive in their society, i would consider it.
shit, they would be better than canada at that point.
If the US as a whole can come around and actually begin a programme of actually caring for people over selfish profit, I can embrace them again. The scale of such a reform has to dwarf their first Reconstruction by a long shot.
No. The US was founded on genocide, grown through slavery, and profited off of exploiting EVERY other nation that they could for their entire history. They support dictatorships and genocide all over the world. Oligarchy and Patriarchy was baked into their Constitution (only rich white males had a say) and the Oligarchy/Patriarchy has never given up any real power since then.
tRump has ripped off the mask for the whole world to see what the real US is, and only fools will forget what they have seen. I am certain the next tyrant the US votes in will be even worse.
The New Deal could be considered one time. Regardless of whether you agree with that, is there are reason that such a version of the USA could never exist?
To me, it’s the greed, wilful ignorance and arrogance I hate, not the people.
I hope the usa will never be our ally again

You didn’t mention anything about eating the rich (which Canada needs to do as well).
what better way to address inequality? ;)
One thing at a time

Exactly , it was just a rhetorical question

I hope we can. I’ve enjoyed the time I’ve spent in Canada immensely.
