He's drowning. His political acuity begins and ends with mimicking Trump tactics and coming up with three word polemics. But literally everything he had a slogan for is no longer relevant and so the punchable-faced twerp can't find a good rhyme anymore.
But they work... People kept acting like trump is just a dumbass and won't win. A lot of us are watching the same stuff happening in CA and hearing people down play it makes us want to warn you.
People still act that way in USA... Saying trump is bad or that he wouldn't win, or calling him out..... None of that had any effect on his success.
I don't know what the solution is... But I feel like I'm watching America repeat in Canada.

I'm cautiously optimistic in the polls so far. We seem to be, almost universally, looking to the south with horror, and then watching Poppinfresh's polling drop every time someone compares him to Trump in public.
The reality is that most of the Maple MAGA are a very small subset of one or two particular provinces, with the majority of people even in THOSE provinces not having none of Trump's shit.
We always have to keep in the mind that the loudest person in the room isn't automatically the most poplular.
I know right? Personally I would have gone with: "Mittens, not suspenders."
Especially given he’s not coming from a working class, or has had experience in the work force. (Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think he’s been a literally lifelong politician right?)
Honestly, neither of the two major Canadian parties do anything to help unions anyway.
Last year there was an Opinion article in the Globe and Mail titled:
Yet another summer of strikes? All political parties are now backing unions
Then a few weeks later:
