    I don’t think Canada wants to hurt so many innocent people because Trump runs his mouth

    If that’s true, that’s backwards logic.

    Because Trump is hurting a lot more people, and while unlikely if his voters feel the pain they will realize it’s not working. Congress can hold trump accountable, but they won’t until well into the “find out” phase.

    So our traditional allies shielding the American people from our own government may seem like the ethical move, but only if focused on today and ignoring the future…

    Which is how we ended up here.

    Long term, America needs consequences yesterday, but we’ll have to settle for today

    Quick edit:

    Sure some people may have voted for Trump but a whole lot didn’t. They don’t deserve that.

    As close as majorities are, a handful of seats getting pressured is all it would take. You think there ain’t a single red district getting their power from Canada?

    You think Montana is a deep blue area?

    It really doesn’t take many people to switch to take congress back, but if we never pressure them, they’ll never fold.
