If you get your Canadian news from an American owned propaganda network I think you have a very strong belief system and a very strong disregard, if not contempt, for facts. I think the ignorance makes them feel good, feel in control, feel coherent, and they are fanatics for it. Not rational actors. Not informed citizens. Fanatics. How else can "Fuck Trudeau" and the other glaringly false, overly simplistic, and/or ignorant Conservative talking points be so compelling to them?

Lyndon B. Johnson, former President of the US, hit the nail on the head in the 1960s. He's correct about people's thinking far beyond anti-Black racism amongst White people.

I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.
