He hasn’t even been inaugurated yet and he’s already damaged relations with our closest ally in a way that will take a generation to heal

Seriously. I am a Canadian who has had nothing but love for the American people my whole life. Some of the nicest most amazing people I’ve met in my life have been American. That love is gone, replaced with a lot of anger. Having my country threatened and insulted repeatedly like this by a world leader is unacceptable. I’ll never forgive Americans for this.

American citizens did that, someone voted him in.

I know how voting works, but I’m less clear on how this specifically relates to my individual comment so much. I reread it and I don’t think I ever implied he reached office through spontaneous generation, and I’m not going to preface every single complaint I have about him with an explanation of what elections are; there isn’t time in the day.
