PPs messaging fell the fuck apart once Trump set his sights on Canada. Going off about how Canada is a ruined piece of shit constantly (PP) was playing fine when there were no external forces at play, but the groundswell of unity once Trump started saying shit like 51st state threw a wrench.
PP just couldn’t pivot. It was suddenly a terrible message. It was fine when the boogeyman was the man in Ottawa, but not when the boogeyman is in Washington.
Ah, I wish I could give us that credit.

Again, I really wish I could attribute the 180 to some kind of awakening. Realistically I think it was just another populist reaction.
Not complaining. Just trying to maintain reasonable expectations
