What the fuck do you think the average person has the ability to change in America? Corporate America knows this because they own the politicians and have enough of a monopoly that they don’t really care if their viewers leave for some other channel or product. They own part of that too! Fight them and you will have to deal with all their lawyers and bullshit.

Canada is a capitalist society as well. You are on the same path, but we are further down the road then you are. Today us, tomorrow you.

I’m a queer, trans person married to a first generation Latina with a disabled child. What exactly do you think my family did to deserve this? Voted in every election I’ve been eligible to for years, protested whenever I can, I donate to food banks and bail funds, donate to people in other countries in need, trained myself with self defense, shit, I even lost a DAMNED good job by standing up for my rights and got blacklisted from my last industry, live in fucking fear of my passport getting revoked because I’ve got the “wrong” marker for my gender and I DARE to use the toilet in public. I cannot apply for asylum from quite a few countries and even if I could then not without giving up my home, MY home, my family, my friends, my community. Fun fact, most countries won’t touch a queer asylum case from the US with a ten foot pole. What, EXACTLY, did I do to deserve this? What did my DISABLED CHILD do to deserve this? What, pray tell, did my community, my immigrant in-laws, DO to deserve what’s going on right now? Or are you just saying a country of over 300 million people with literally millions facing down oppression and fascism that we just deserve to get murdered in the street?
