Serious question... how can you see with your head that far up your own ass?
I'll post again something i posted elsewhere. I'm sitting here in 1937 Poland and the Orange Oberbefehlshaber is looking for every way possible to fuck my country over, so as to inflict enough economic harm to weaken us in advance of an attempt to conquer us. When the tanks roll past my house, who many fucks do you think I'll give whether the driver is "one of the good ones" or a Trump voter?
And before the "herp de derp de derp... he won't invade Canada", you need to understand, "WE CANNOT AFFORD TO DISBELIEVE HIM" when he announces his intentions to try to take us over. Especially when, he didn't say he wouldn't, he said, "Highly unlikely". That's not a no.
So, the sitting ~~President~~ King of the United States by saying unlikely, and not no circumstance, has announced that a military attack on our country is possible, while the leader of Vichy Alberta is playing the "we're struggling under the yoke of an evil Canadian government" and flying to Mar-a-lardo to kiss the ring of Tangerine Palpatine, setting up a scenario nearly identical to the one playing out in Ukraine.
And you think I give two shits about who uses that fucking library? Resistance at every point, at every opportunity. No inch, no quarter must be given.

Whoa gotta be careful not to get cut on that edge.
You don't hear yourself do you? This is so cringey and sad. Get over yourself. This is a library not the invasion of Poland. This is such a weird weird attempt at making a point and failing so miserably. Showing good will is a good pr move when it costs you so little and doesn't help your opposition. Being a spiteful little dick makes you seem like you need serious help and to go outside
You just keep doing nothing while the fascists destroy your country, and I will worry about mine.
Oh cool I'm doing nothing I guess, here I thought I was voting against, protesting against, donating against the rise of fascism but I guess some Canadian who doesn't want people reading knows me better than that. Stopping low income families from learning in a blue state sure is gonna break Trump down. I mean shit that state is turning out fascists like Bernie Sanders with all it's public libraries. Better make sure they don't learn or be exposed to other perspectives through literature. That'll make them straight maga! Boy do I have egg on my face! You sure taught me something today and it's definitely not that Canadians can be just as ignorant as Americans!
You should maybe spend more time in a library yourself
All I hear is, "I'm doing things that have literally no effect, so I'll keep doing them so I can feel like I've done my part."
OK then. None of that has worked, but I'm sure you can sleep fine at night, while millions of people who until 6 months ago were your friends and allies are terrified that your country will destroy us. But by all means, let's worry about a library. Because history books will stop us from getting invaded.
Also, since you have decided to call me an idiot, I'll return the favour.
You know this isn't about the fucking library right? I have no idea how more clear I could have been. It's really no suprise a nitwit won, because at least he understood the message, even if he literally understands nothing else.
You can't be this stupid. Am I arguing with an actual goldfish right now? Do you instantly forget what you wrote?
Yeah I'm doing a hell of a lot more to stop fascism than you bitching on the internet making your country look bad and trying to make it look worse.
Suggesting that destroying a library is a bad thing makes be culpable of the rise of fascism despite making efforts to resist it. But you doing, I suspect, a lot less somehow absolves you of blame? Are you sure you're thinking straight here?
You mean the entire point of this post and thread??? Yes that's what we're doing. That's the topic of the conversation. Welcome to reason we're typing right now. It's so weird it took you this long to... not realize what we're talking about still? Do you think you stopped talking about when you said:
Cause "no inch, no quarter" sure seems like you're referencing the library, cause you know, it's several inches. This is just baffling , if you don't think we're talking about the library still you might actually qualify as illiterate at this point.
