True. And I know, it's just rough to explain. Let me try a more nuanced rebuttal than saying "haha fuck you" to @Jughead, and that isn't meant to be condescending.
Look, you're in Canada. I get that. I'm half Canadian. My dad's from Canada. I have a Canadian passport, and that's nifty, because I flirt with the idea of fleeing north.
I can't claim to have an understanding on a deep level of Canadian politics, though I do have these discussions with my Canadian relatives and extended family. My Canadian friends fall all over the political map. I tried to have a conversation with one who politely tried to say that he didn't believe racism was a real thing. He doubled down on this by saying "look, am I a racist just because I don't want more muslims in my country?" I said "well, yes, in a way that I had to own, after realizing that I was wrong."
I had a strong anti-religion thing going on with me for a long time. I hated religion, after I decided it was all bullshit, and I had an arrogant opinion that I'd reached some kind of enlightened mode, wherein I knew what was up and all these brainwashed fools were destroying the world. My main opponent was Christianity, and after 9/11 I viewed Islam as more dangerous. I found most of my liberal friends were mostly on the same page.
Then I realized that religion wasn't the issue here, dude.
But this is America, and America is fucking weird, and you might not understand how weird it is. Right now, EVERYONE in America is at the "other" side's throat, and this is political, racial, EVERYTHING.
America is primed for a civil war, and if you ask a hippie liberal like me, I'd say that's what Russia wants to further. So I don't consider this a civil war. America is, from my own estimation, not as peacefully copacetic as Canada. You guys get along, and even if you disagree, you show respect. That's not how it works here. America is more like Europe; a fractured continent of opposing ideas, principles, ways of life. Some of our states want socialism by the majority, some want us to turn into a libertarian thing, some want a throwback to a time that's insane when it comes to civil rights... and obviously this is all skewed through the lens of my objective view.
But this country is broken, and you're saying "ah guys, I like the conservative idea," but I don't think you know what that means in Trump America.
