A governor is supposed to stand up for their people, not root for their downfall. Watch our interview with Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger.
I'm voting for her! Our current governor is allowing utilities companies to rape us in SW VA!🤬 This is an economically depressed area and we can't afford $5-600 power bills and $200 water and sewer. I just moved here and I'm in shock! I've never seen anything like it in any state I've ever lived in. 🤬🤬🤬
I live in a tiny mountain community where most residents believe Elon Musk is awesome, Trump will make lives much better, are not concerned about those losing their jobs, they really believe all is already so much better now. They are waiting for cost of living to go down. Actually are so happy to see federal agents fired, have no care that the firings might cause a problem. They believe that Elon is finding billions in fraud. Have no concerns about agency shutdown. AND say they LOVE DEMOCRACY 😳
Today I am a pissed off Canadian... If people would only do their own homework and learn how their government works, who is running their government....but they don't care...there is no excuse for pure ignorance. They hear something and run with it...Living in a small community in this day and age is no excuse....they are just ignorant to want to know.. This just doesn't happen in small communities throughout the United States of America....which as we all know are not united at all...Maybe that is the name that Trump should try to change instead of the Gulf of Mexico This ignorance is rampant throughout the whole country. I just finished reading a comment from a fellow Canadian who was returning home from a cruise to Antarctica. They said an American on the trip found out they were Canadian and starting chanting "51st State, 51st State". That loudmouthed ignorant American was put under cabin arrest until the next day. The ugly thing to me about this was that this comment did not surprise me at all about how this US citizen treated a complete stranger. The ignorance and uneducated assholes in the United States have always been there it's just that they have been given the greenlight to show the world how really ignorant and disgusting they really are. I just chuckle to myself knowing that this ignorant human being probably couldn't recite the existing 50 states, in fact the majority of Americans probably could not. Some don't even know their own capital. Canada is no pushover and if Americans would actually learn their history they would know that. The evil and corruption in the US government is out there for all to see and the cult following it is here to stay. I do not believe that will ever change...the door has been opened. Yes, there will be lots of pushback from the "normal" people but how is it going to continue.....with bloodshed? Honestly the way I feel right now with all the ignorant hate coming from the US towards Canada for NO REASON I say if any country should be building a wall between countries it should be Canada building a wall between Canada and the United States. There is a wall being built right now....tariffs or no tariffs....by the Canadian people against the US. It may not be made of stone but it is building and it will continue to build. When Trump started with the tariffs against my country for NO REASON that hurt...considering he signed the deal between Mexico and Canada it was actually laughable but when he continued to call our Prime Minister "Governor" and Canada to be the 51st State, that was a slap in the face which will NEVER be Forgotten or Forgiven by the people of Canada. The only good thing that came out of this was it showed everyone the LOVE OF COUNTRY Canada has and that it is time to wake up and realize that the US never really respected or gave a shit about Canada or Canadians in the first place. We may be "nice", "polite" and it may take awhile to really get angry but our history has proven how strong we really are.....we just don't feel the need to shout it from the rooftops.....our self esteem is in tact.
Hope you know there are millions of pissed off Americans rooting for Canadians who thumb their noses at our fascist politicians and were thrilled you beat us in ice hockey ... and believe being "nice" and "polite" are admirable while we cringe with embarrassment at arrogant, ignorant, lazy, thoughtless Americans.
It's crucially important we understand the enemy and what they are planning. Too many are still distracted with red herrings the regime keeps throwing out to divert your attention while they further erode our constitution and the balance of power.
I am very embarrassed of our country right now! Please know the American people love our Canadian neighbors! Anyone saying 51st state should be kicked out of your country!
Canadian here as well. I too am offended to my core by this 51st state business, which offers up war and violence as a funny and fun thing to do to your friends and trading partners. And the merch that has appeared on Amazon....don't get me started.
Trump is sneering at us because a) he hates our very beautiful Prime Minister. Justin has everything Donald lacks: old money, good looks, an earnest desire for the best for everyone, good looks. Has he made some mistakes, sure. One of them was mocking Donald, not that Donald did not deserve it.
And then there is 2. Donald, like the cruise ship fool, is that Gr. 4 bully who likes taking lunch money off the kindergarten kids. Because he is weak and vicious and it feeds his damaged psyche. He thinks we are incapable of hitting back. He is wrong.
Now I am to understand that Trudeau feels it "irresponsible" to disinvite Trump to the G7 Summit. I don't quite agree.
Trump is a CONVICTED FELON and RAPIST and he wants to do great harm to our beautiful country and people.
In Canada, you cannot enter the country if you are a CONVICTED FELON unless specially authorized to do so.....Trudeau is saying yes?
I truly hope that there are so many boos and protests against Trump in Quebec, Alberta and all across the country if he shows up that he shits his pants more than he usually does. I pity the Leader that ends up having to sit beside him if he does attend....I would advise masks would be appropriate.
I hope that any Canadian who is against Trump putting one of his orange toes in our country lets our Government know about it.
Trump may be above the law in his country but he shouldn't be above the law in ours. I am sure that Musk can show him how to go on ZOOM.
Trump DOES NOT belong in Canada!!!!!!! He is NOT WELCOME!!!!
I hear you, but we need to play the long game here. Unfortunately the Gr. 4 bully is the president. Let him come to strut, preen and bully. We may learn much as when he feels victorious he shoots his mouth off. Ditto his cabinet.
And regrettably, when it comes to provoking him, the juice is not worth the squeeze. He is jonesin' for an easy fight to buff his image. Let's not hand one to him on a silver platter.
What we should do is quietly turn to NATO allies and cement our relationships there. We should join them in beefing up our military and our trade partnerships and (quickly) move toward a future where none of us are dependent on the USA.
I'd love to see his entrance denied but he is so thin-skinned and vindictive it might backfire in ways that are not worth it, and in ways that may not be initiated until some time later. If he IS granted a 'waiver', I hope all you Canadians show up with huge banners claiming "no felons allowed" and so on.. HE should be encouraged to zoom.
The MAJORITY of us find the "ugly American" behavior on that ship deplorable and embarrassing. I'm sorry it happened. And I hope you know that the MAJORITY of us VERY STRONGLY value our long-term relationship with Canada, and support everything your govt AND you citizens are doing in reaction to the ridiculous tariffs and rude behavior coming from the imposter/s in our presidency. Your boycotting of American products and your cancellation of travel plans down here are painful BUT TOTALLY NECESSARY AND THEY ARE WORKING. Almost as soon as you implemented those things, the owners of affected businesses were SCREAMING at their federal senators and representatives and I'm pretty sure they have not let up. We continue to be highly grateful for all your support, no matter the form it comes in.
I'd go!!! They deserve the economic support coming from our direction for a change. And unless you unleash loud bellows of "Great to be in the 51st state!" I think you'll be just fine.
Trickle down bankruptcy! Bye bye American Dream! Slavery is now policy! Two/Three jobs for everyone. No minimum wage. Competition - who gets to bottom fastest.
I know. They aren’t informed and really don’t want to be. Some of my family members still love Trump no matter what he does.
I asked them if they’ve read about Project 2025. Musk and Trump are saying Musk is cutting waste, cost and fraud, but it’s just a RUSE for slashing and destroying the government. They don’t care about fixing anything.
It’s part of Project 2025 to end democracy and replace it with a white supremacist techno autocracy and extreme oppressive “Christian” ideology. Once again they fool their cult. And there’s no reasoning with them.
One of my brother’s and his wife are like that - still love love Trump. They said what about the millions of condoms Biden sent (I forget where). But Trump’s admin sent them too.
I'm starting to believe that these folks think everything that the double headed president is saying is true, and that these people are going to inherit those billions of dollars because that's what these great president's are, they're just going to give it to the poor people, because oligharchs are so benevolent.
Yes and they really believe Musk is “fixing” the waste and fraud. Musk, Trump, Vance, Vought, Thiel, Yarvin etc. are playing out Project 2025 and don’t care about fixing anything. It’s just a RUSE to pacify us while they destroy our democracy right under our noses. They are laughing.
Yes they really do believe him…I think a lot of what I sense is that MAGA s are very angry …about what I’m not sure. Seems they feel have been in a one down position for a very long time.
I am grateful to have worked in a professional setting.
Some may have unfortunately lived in poverty for decades and are angry about that; some were brought up to hate the government and feel suppressed (not wanting to understand that we need rules and checks and balances because people don’t behave on their own!).
Trump just riled them up more with his lies and anti govt rhetoric and fueled their anger. He knows how to suck people in by promising to fix everything and make their lives better. Sadly he could care less.
We love Abigail here in VA! She’s amazing. Can’t wait to get the Trump loving Youngkin out of office. He’s crushing our public health system and proclaiming victory as a result. Double minded and full of ****.
Women governors are rocking it!
Go Abigail and Mighty Meidas! Women will save our democracy! Democrats need to elevate more women, especially women of color: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/women-will-save-our-democracy
So true. Women get it done while men just talk. (Except for MTG). She just talks word salad.
Bye bye Youngkin. Good fucking riddance
Hear Hear!
Youngkin is trump in a fleece vest. Slimmer, dresses better, but; just as heartless and useless as trump.
Cannot wait for him to be gone. He wants to destroy education in our state. No honor.
Hoping Abigail is our next governor!!!!
Excited to vote for her!!
🙄 Republicans are so far up trumps ass I bet they can taste the McDonald's before trump does..... 🤮
Oh, not a good visual.
gross but it still made me laff..
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
I NEEDED the laugh 🤣🤣🤣 thank you so much
Youngkin should have been the first one to lose his job
I'm voting for her! Our current governor is allowing utilities companies to rape us in SW VA!🤬 This is an economically depressed area and we can't afford $5-600 power bills and $200 water and sewer. I just moved here and I'm in shock! I've never seen anything like it in any state I've ever lived in. 🤬🤬🤬
She's got my vote. Youngkin has been an out of touch mansion dwelling loser for too long.
wOW

So, like fOx nEws watchers.

"I'm not into politics" well they are now. I didn't do 1988(first) I thought I was too young. 1992 first and until 2016 I voted split ballot.
Not anymore.
They still think he's doing great 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Thank you for the support we are not alone in this 💙

However, there IS a reason and a plan behind the nonsensical madness of King Musk and his assistant Cap'n Bone Spurs. You can read about it here: https://open.substack.com/pub/shatterzone/p/democratic-insiders-are-sharing-a?r=2nt1ay&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

You got it right: he is your typical school yard bully. It is SO FRUSTRATING that far too many of our elected officials have never figured that out.
Now I am to understand that Trudeau feels it "irresponsible" to disinvite Trump to the G7 Summit. I don't quite agree.

I'm wanting to travel to Canada but afraid to see if I'll be hated. It is truly f'kt up right now. Be glad you live in Canada!
Where abouts? We are still kind people just quite pissed off at the moment. Anyone who actually loves Canada and its people are always welcome.
I'd go!!! They deserve the economic support coming from our direction for a change. And unless you unleash loud bellows of "Great to be in the 51st state!" I think you'll be just fine.
Trickle down bankruptcy! Bye bye American Dream! Slavery is now policy! Two/Three jobs for everyone. No minimum wage. Competition - who gets to bottom fastest.
Sad. I see it too.
that's called ignorance and that's exactly what they want people to be. Stupid and uneducated!
Sounds like brainwashed. Ask for an example.
I know. They aren’t informed and really don’t want to be. Some of my family members still love Trump no matter what he does.
I asked them if they’ve read about Project 2025. Musk and Trump are saying Musk is cutting waste, cost and fraud, but it’s just a RUSE for slashing and destroying the government. They don’t care about fixing anything.

Well there’s a saying “ Ignorance is bliss. “ ain’t that the truth…
One of my brother’s and his wife are like that - still love love Trump. They said what about the millions of condoms Biden sent (I forget where). But Trump’s admin sent them too.
Condoms went to a region with the name Gaza in it. Not sure where but condoms were sent to help prevent the spread of aids..
Africa
My comment got sent before I was done. Yes it wasn’t for them to just fool around!!
I also told my relatives to learn about Project 2025 as that’s what’s playing out now.
Florida was first to enact the policies related to Project 2025
Then she needs to go door to door in those communities and be ready to hear and answer their fears.
These people are morons..... They hate the "feds" They see these people as the enemy...
A disgusting display in the Oval Office this morning. tRUMP and his sidekick showing their true colors…these clowns have got to go !
Sorry for you. At this point they're being purposely ignorant.
I'm starting to believe that these folks think everything that the double headed president is saying is true, and that these people are going to inherit those billions of dollars because that's what these great president's are, they're just going to give it to the poor people, because oligharchs are so benevolent.
Yes and they really believe Musk is “fixing” the waste and fraud. Musk, Trump, Vance, Vought, Thiel, Yarvin etc. are playing out Project 2025 and don’t care about fixing anything. It’s just a RUSE to pacify us while they destroy our democracy right under our noses. They are laughing.

Very well expressed Deb 🙏
Thank you Jaclyn!
They love democracy.... hmm....... have they seen the MANY photos of elon's Heil Hitler salute?
Magas aren’t talking about the Nazi salute ?🤔
Don’t think MAGAS pay attention to that stuff 🤨
Women are fighting governors.
Fight, even rage against the dying of the light 🕯️
We love Abigail here in VA! She’s amazing. Can’t wait to get the Trump loving Youngkin out of office. He’s crushing our public health system and proclaiming victory as a result. Double minded and full of ****.
This race matters in a HUGE WAY -- a win will give DEMS a breath of fresh air and signal country IS moving in wrong direction. Support this race!
Donated from CA the minute I heard her announce her candidacy, a few days ago. She is awesome!
As a resident of nova, I hope she succeeds! We are being hit incredibly hard by all things mentioned above.
Youngkin is a sycophant who often kisses the ring and don’t care about the people in his state.
