Come to think of it, it's probably my fault for gravitating toward threads that are going to rile me up.
It's been a weird few weeks in Canada - everyone has seemingly united around strong anti-US sentiment. That's true even in the staunchly conservative part of Ontario where I live that would normally be more sympathetic toward a Republican administration in the US.
So there's probably some confirmation bias at play, too. I've been caught up in the whirlwind going on around me and maybe I've just been more likely to notice things that reinforce everything else I've been seeing.
I actually appreciate fellow HN users giving me a polite reality check. I'll save the complaining for Reddit.
Well, anti-US sentiment isn't weird when the deranged president of your military superpower former ally to the south proposes invading you. Stay sane, if you can. Hug your cats. (:
