    I’m in Canada.

    Since Bush W, I saw the blatant writing on the wall of the direction the US was going. Trump version 1 seemed like a clown show and I assumed things would get worse but it would take 20-30 more years. I never once thought we’d see a Trump version 2.

    I think this is probably the end of the USA as we once knew it. Trump is on a speedrun to crash everything. The American people are either cheering it on or apathetic. The public won’t stop him. The opposition in US government seems unable to deal with Trump because he clearly doesn’t give a shit about decorum, rules, or law.

    I guess we all realize empires eventually fall. The US got itself here from it’s own hubris. It’s time.

    I do worry being right next door and both the US and Russia eyeballing our northern routes and resources. More and more I’m coming to terms with probably dying defending my country from a direct attack. Something I never really worried about until last November.

    It’s a scary time
