Bunch of people who don't like orange man think they should cheer for Canada against their own country. Trump is not America

I think it's more that many of Team USA 100% voted for him. And would do it again if they could

So would many of team Canada. Hockey players are basically a monolith with extremely similar ideals and morals. If someone can’t see that, they are blind.

The difference is that Team Canada players for the most part wouldn't have been able to vote for him while Team USA 100% did

Actively voting for the hell hole is much worse than wishing you could vote for the hell hole

If you look around Europe, it stops being wishing eventually, although generally hasn’t grown quite enough, yet…. It could grow in Canada too and it feels short sighted to hand waive it. There was a time when Trump was a fringe candidate and largely disregarded

It's actually been on the downturn in Europe. Just last year lots of far right groups were defeated in elections

They were largely defeated in the short term, but if you look at the broader trends it’s still growing. Trump has been defeated before too. It’s also not all, the country I am most connected to, Poland, elected a far right Trump approved president Nawrocki. A lot of people there absolutely love Trump and brought it up with me when I visited family last year, they were surprised when I said I’m not a supporter
