Every Trump supporter who visits Canada should be chastised

I don't blame them.

I just got back from running around town (our tiny Canadian village has a garage sale day today) and saw a trump hat at one of them for sale for 5 bucks.

I thought it amusing that they didn't want it anymore but still think it's worth something.

Then again they WERE also selling a 1960's style stationary bike for $40 bucks while just down the street was a newer one for free with a digital display.

Must been Pete Hoekstra’s red hat after being told to tone down the 51st state rhetoric.

Why weren't Americans polled?

TIL: Norwegians are decisive people.

What’s up with people in Thailand and China?

That’s Israel being the most favourable of America.

And what the fucks with the sexism?

Vietnam is on position 4 (consider they were at war 55 years ago), where as most of NATO is at the bottom, even below Russia.

This kind of poll is so weird. It's such a broad, general question that I wouldn't know what to say for almost any country. Sure there's your handful of obvious shitheads and maybe two or three countries that I suppose I view "favourably" but for any other country I'd just shrug.

Edit. I'm half asleep and COMPLETELY misinterpreted the thing lol

Way too low

I meant Americans' views of their own country.

Hey Vietnam, are you alright? 😵

I’m afraid to engage in international tourism because the country I’m from, the United States, is a goddamn embarassment, and I’m would be apologizing everywhere I go, and silent otherwise.

While just 47 per cent of American adults surveyed said Americans overall are morally good — the lowest score of any country — 92 per cent of Canadians had a positive moral view of other Canadians, tying with Indonesia at the top of the list.

That's a shocking difference of attitude.

Charts without New Zealand

I hate this timeline so much. Gestures broadly, I get it as someone who lives in the USA…

We’re about to head out on a trip tomorrow and yeah, it’s kind of embarrassing. We always say we’re from California if asked, because that feels slightly less embarrassing, though the tech bros have now shown their true colors so it’s less effective than it used to be.

Our media has been pitting us against each other for decades. Conservatives think leftists are evil because of all the gay sex; leftists think conservatives are evil because of book banning. And they all think the ones who say they “aren’t political” are uninformed and ignorant. Obviously more examples than that but you get the gist. It’s become extremely tribal, so it’s not shocking to me at all.

When I speak, I have vague hints of general commonwealth in my accent, cause I’ve always been lowkey ashamed of being here, except now it’s not so lowkey.

I agree with much of what you have said however reducing why leftists dislike conservatives to book banning is disingenuous. They are forcing religious doctrines on everyone, starting wars with no rationale, removing reproductive and voting rights, the list goes on… The example of book banning is such a limited example of damage compared to high level relevant examples that it does not feel representative.

Came here to say that!

No Denmark on the graph is disappointing after Trump’s threats to Greenland.

You could say you’re from Cascadia and hope they don’t have any follow up questions.

Third lowest after Norway and Sweden.

Lots of undecided people.

That is a shocking difference in attitude. I’m not as familiar with Canadian laws but I believe that in the US, lack of media accountability and politicization/money play a large role in the problem. When the media is allowed to lie about facts and events, then lies proliferate with no consequential legal recourse to remedy the problem. The news should be backed by verifiable facts provable in court. Departures from that should be prosecuted and loose their news license. We won a big case against Fox News even in the slanted capitalist courts and it changed nothing because the sanction was a slap on the wrist compared to profits from fear mongering. I saw my grandparents fall down the Fox News hole and it was heartbreaking. In addition the current media consolidation trend should be prohibited because of monopolization principles. Billionaires should not own the press, it belongs to the people. With that framework in mind, the US public is being wildly manipulated to hate each other when we have more in common than anything. It’s actually working class vs. billionaires/trillionaire.

We're from the UK. I think we should be aiming to be much much lower

Exactly. So strange.

They probably selected where favorable is not 0.

The Italian prime minister (lowkey fascist) kept trying to establish good relationships with Trump, but even she had to give up with how much of an animal he is, lol

No, deported to a third country.

Just research carefully the country you go to. Some places hate tourists with a passion, some see them with curiosity. The country you come from is usually irrelevant (except if it's Israel)

The world does not hate those, who are awoken from the american dreamnightmare. You guys are just victims.

We really dislike all the brainrotten dimwits who still love all the shit your elite puppeteers do. And how they destroy the way of living, the internet and...gestures broadly at everything

Oh you’re totally right; it was just the first example that came to mind, mostly because I finished a book recently that featured a book-banning villain.

they shouldn't be allowed in. they're literally enemies of the state.

That tracks. The book banning is for sure reprehensible too and is definitely a tool used in repressive regimes. What book were you reading/would you recommend it?

I've travelled out of the country a few times under Trump's rule. I bet clearly make my opinions if Trump known, and can usually find a common ground with the people in interacting with.

Like, wouldn't travel to the middle east and try to play that game, but most people are pretty reasonable and understanding, especially if you're in a touristy area where the economy is almost entirely based on you spending money.

Just try not to draw attention to yourself, be respectful, and talk shit about Trump and his band of merry racist cunts if needed.

It’s called The Astral Library by Kate Quinn. I enjoyed it; I listened to it and the narrator was good, and I didn’t want to stop listening, which is a good sign. I haven’t read anything else by Quinn but I guess she does mostly historical fiction, and based on Goodreads reviews, her fanbase did not appreciate this one because she had GASP a former foster kid as a main character, a bisexual character, a trans kid, and she makes one throwaway comment about “religious types” that sent her fans into rants about her being anti-Christian. Holy hell. Anyway I thought it was fine! Maybe some of the messaging was a little heavy handed, but it clearly came from a place of deep love of libraries so I can’t say I fault her for it too much.

I can't help but notice Canada has been excluded.

4th from the bottom

Interesting, thanks I’ll check it out! That’s a different narrative to follow.

Ah, i'm blind, nvm. lol

As a Canadian who vehemently hates the United States and everything it represents now, I have yet to actually meet anyone who hates the US as much as I do. Most are indifferent.

Canada is 4th last in the image.

Are we gauging America, or Americans?

Because one third of Americans seem like great people. I only know like a hundred, and only two of those are absolute dicks.

That's it?

I would have guessed that much in 2015.
