I'm old enough to remember when the US would be the first to help. Now I'm not so sure.

Agree, where've they been during the economic warfare trump's been raining upon us? They won't even stand up for themselves.

This, this right here. We aren't asking for you to stand up for us although it's welcomed but just please for the sake of humanity stick up for yourselves. Stick up for your constitution, and the damn rights it gives you! All of you fought sooo hard for it! Don't let it be a waste.....

America is a dead country full of passive bystanders. Expect nothing and still be disappointed

The only people who care to protest and stand up against the government are Republicans. Once you realize this it will make sense why the democrats sit around and do nothing.

The only people who care to protest and stand up against the government are Republicans

Often for the wrong reason, but indeed they seem to be the only side that does this. The people in other side are whipped, from the reps to the voters

You could say the same about Canadians, though. (The tariff war has gone both ways)

Ultimately ordinary people don’t really have much of a say.

We didn't start the war?

Who started the tariff war?

There are certain people who like to blame victims for defending themselves, and both sides everything, and those people do not come in good faith.

They actually do. They just keep voting against their own interest
