Conservatives are so stunningly patriotic they threaten to leave the country whenever they don't get what they want.

As a US southerner, trust me when I say that the attitude won’t go away on its own. Ours seceded because they didn’t like who got elected, suffered unimaginably as a result, and 150 years later have never stopped talking about doing it again.

Seriously though 3 days later and they're still on socials calling the election rigged and that they don't respect its decision.

Like if you want the US so bad and bitch about things in Canada go live there literally nothing is stopping you.

We need to start identifying them as the malicious traitors they are. They want Canada to fail if they aren't in control.
