During all the recent stuff with the US soccer team, I realized how this sentiment seems less and less true.
There were so many people who reacted almost violently to being called maga or a Trump supporter…..but they immediately adopted all the hallmarks like whataboutism, doing mental gymnastics to support ‘their team’, descending into American exceptionalism, etc. These are people who strongly purported to not be Trump supporters.

Unfortunately I don’t think we can disown him. America elected him twice. And he won the fucking popular vote after committing an act of sedition, trying to falsify votes in an election he lost, and being convicted of fucking rape.
We have to recognize that tens of millions of voting adults gleefully support this monster. They’re enthusiastic about him even now, even after the endless parade of shit he’s perpetrated and damage he’s caused. America has been rotting from the inside out for decades.
And frankly the inability of the opposition to present alternative leadership that can defeat Republicans is itself an indictment of our people. We are rudderless, we’ve morally and intellectually atrophied, we’ve allowed this rotten spirit to permeate every level of society and I just don’t see a way out of it.

we should recall all of our equipment and personnel from the USA and redirect it to Canadian fires until the Americans learn to STFU. if americans want us to do more at home, we can do that by stop helping them with theirs.

Well they combined a bunch of DOI firefighters into a new agency with so little planning or thought the new agency is hemorrhaging it's best and brightest to other local fire agencies (state, county, etc).
On top of that the hiring executive orders delayed getting seasonal fire crews hired.
On top of that general federal morale is so low because of all the people (who support hiring, budget, etc for fire) have left due to the insane anti federal employee rhetoric by this admin and the right.
On top of that the fire strategy for this year is "full suppression" instead of letting it burn when appropriate, putting more pressure on an already depleted wildland firefighting force.
So I'm betting even if the agency was allowed to help (and to be fair, I've seen no such policy not allowing help) they're busy fighting our own fires with depleted resources (and giving their lives for it, three just died in Colorado), and knowing all the fire employees on the ground that I do every single one of them would bend over backwards to help Canada or Mexico if it were up to them
