I used to work in a tourist town doing a big low income housing building in Alberta. When I’d go out and about pretty much every American I met would be like “don’t worry, I’m a democrat, I’m not one of those Americans.” And then proceed to be just as loud and obnoxious as you expect from Americans for the entire time I’d be around them. I mean you might not be as OVERTLY loud, stupid, and racist as your republicans counterparts but I still don’t fucking like the way you behave.
I thought about mounting a disagreement with the believability of this. Not about the obnoxious Americans – that I can wholeheartedly believe – but about your primary complaint being that the Democrats “have done some heinous shit” and then Americans come up to your town and what they want to talk about is defending Democrats. That is weird and makes no sense (not to mention the super smooth way of bringing up the housing crisis and blaming it on immigrants, I guess?).
But then I saw the rate of downvotes and said, oh, I’m not the only one who thinks this whole story is bizarre. Got it.
lol believe it or not, I don’t care. That’s the way it was. And the downvotes are coming from this being the Lemmy.world instance, which is largely based by the kind of Americans I’m shitting on here. I just don’t really care about their opinions on my experiences honestly.
