To All Americans

I apologize for my crazy thread about Americans spreading cooties. It will never happen again.

I was really responding to what I perceived as Trump’s xenophobia and I should never have dragged any of you into it.

The rest of us continental Americans are afraid. We don’t want any of this spreading and it is terrifying that you haven’t been able to get a handle on this.

Anyway, those are my reasons for the freak-out, it doesn’t excuse it, but it does explain my crazy behaviour.

Again, I am sorry for making this even the littlest bit worse for everyone.

Take care of yourselves and we will get through this together.


With love and hope for our future,

Tanya in Ontario, Canada

Most of the time I agree. Around 30% of Americans are pro-Trump dumbasses. Another 30% or so are apathetic and don't mind Trump. That makes most of the damn country at that point. There are a lot of Americans who are dumbasses. Most of the time, when someone says something about Americans doing something stupid, I know it's possible a bunch of Americans did something stupid.

<----virtual hug, because I had to leave my house today for the first time in a couple of weeks. I hope I didn't catch this crap.
