Interesting....lol, its the complete opposite for me...most..if not all of my friends support Democrats. We should probably make some kind of trade.
Lol Sadly most of us would run out of friends quickly as the support for Trump in Canada is around 30% ... 2 friends to 1 ...

For this to work ....You gotta look for a guy with a pool of friends exclusively involved with the Conservative Party and/or if you don't mind a bilingual pool of friends... people involved in the Bloc Quebecois ( separatist minded a bit ) in Quebec which is where you will find the greatest number of supporters among Canadians per party .

Best of luck

To be fair ( To be fair!) Trump is very good at having people believe he is something he is not: Rich, succesfoul, pious, faithful, a common everyday man, thin, a good golfer, big handed, authentic, tasteful, handsome, contemplative , patriotic, innocent.

Maybe those opposed to him are just in line with this whole charade, and us believing hes an actual threat is another flipped projection.

As I dont really care what the political opinions of my friends are I wont be running out of them anytime soon but thanks for the advice and wishes of luck. I think that is something that concerns Liberals more generally and if they find out that one actually said something positive about Trump they would dump that friend faster than a rat scooting up a drainpipe. amirite?

Maybe its because the Democrats have just done such a horrible job of running the country in so many different ways

Around six-in-ten (58%) say that life in America is worse today than it was 50 years ago for people like them. Only about a quarter (23%) say life today is better, while 19% say it is about the same. The share of Americans who say life today is worse than in the past is up 15 percentage points since the summer of 2021.Apr 24, 2023

Yes, we can add people believing Trump would adress any of these issues meanigfully and in a lasting fashion to the list of things people believe that aren't true.

the democrats are shit but they have not been running the country for 50 years.. the worse damage to the middle class was done by reagan and bush

the reason why peoples quality of life is inferior than 50 years ago is because of the right wing policies that both parties but more so the republicans have pursued concentrating wealth in the richest elites and favouring corporations over regular people

I guess you didnt read the last sentence in that quote. A 15% switch in two years is huge. I couldnt find a recent one but I would imagine its even more drastic one year later than April 2023.

We know that the current government has no intention of doing it.
Are you asking for *more* government intervention?

'How the country is being run' is a pretty open ended question as well, if you compare to ' how the current adminstration is doing' or 'who do you like better , republicans or democrats?'.

I mean, I don't like how the US (or Canada) is run, but it doesnt mean ill vote RepubliCon.

The difference between democracy and autocracy is in democracy, the country is run from bottom up, by the people. That's seems to be a good thing but when you have a country like the US, that's so polarized and divided, there is going to be chaos. But what causes this? It's the media from the right and from the left. No news outlets are reporting anymore but are just giving their opinions. It's a very powerful tool. Biden and trump are focused on fund raising for the purpose of who can control the media. So if you ask me, who control America? It's an easy answer. The media.

Amazing that people think Trump gives a shit about anyone but himself. He cheats on his wives, he cheats on his mistresses, he cheats on everyone he does business with, and he doesn’t pay his bills.
His Mar a Lago club membership is $100k but trailer park trash think he’s “one of them”.

He's kind of the Lenny Bruce of Politics. Absolutely nothing to talk about but his law suits. No agenda at all. surprise surprise.
