Far right talks about how we’re a weak leftist, globalist LGBT society that should be more like Russia, and the far left talks about how we’re a fascist capitalist imperialist white supremacy society that should be more like China

I will always side with Europe or Canada. Those will never be our enemies unless the right makes them so.

I will never side with them, but I must make it explicitly clear, they're trying to make Europe and Canada our enemies. Trump is trying to burn our bridges here.
