This is exactly what they want to happen... most people are not actually bad people, they want better standards of living just like you and everyone else.
Some people are terrible and racists... but most people are tired of struggling and the rich getting richer... they just want their jobs back and to do what they are used to doing... they want to be okay because everything is fucked up...
They are being lied to, you are being lied to... everyone is being lied to...
Not everyone has forgotten their humanity, the people in control who want you to believe so, are the ones that keep telling you that they have
No matter how good a person could be, I wouldn't trust them if they are easily manipulated in believing BS. I won't hate them, but I won't trust them.
Anyone with an bit of judgement could see what Trump was. And yet he was elected. Twice!
So all these "good people" have cpntributed to elect a fascist twice already. You want me to trust they won't elect another one after him? That this is a two times mistake and Canadians can rely on the US after that?
Nope.
Maybe they were lied to about Trump. They will be lied to again by others about other fascists.
You can blame education, oligarchs propaganda, whatever. Point is: Canada can't rely on the USA, even if Trump goes away.

It looks to me that you're more here to push a narrative about manipulation than discussing the topic.
Brecht:
"When the last [war] came to an end There were conquerors and conquered. Among the conquered the common people Starved. Among the conquerors The common people starved too."
No one can trust an oligarch. If they live in your country, they are not your countrymen. If they don't, they are not the common people who live where they happen to.
