But with all due respect, I’m not sure recent Canadian election results are quite the analog to those French and Spanish resistances we’re talking about. The US did elect Biden in 2020 and the popular vote was against Trump in 2016; both similar to the Canadian 2025 election in my opinion.
I think you may be underestimating how quick we re-aligned. We went from a guaranteed alt-Right takeover to a centrist victory in 3 months. No, it wasn’t the French or Spanish resistances, but we reacted fast enough that it didn’t have to be. What you need is organization. We all smelled something wrong with the traitor, but it would have meant nothing if the organizational infrastructure wasn’t there.
Your problem is your resistance is a million little micro-cells with no organizational backbone, and the democratic party is too busy fundraising to actually put any effort into collecting the fragments and building clear objectives. No one inside or outside America is happy with the progress because you’re trying to kill a giant with a thousand papercuts and while it’s not nothing, it’s not helping anywhere near enough.
So yeah, you could use a lesson or two from the Canucks, because in the end the thing that saved us, is the thing your resistance is missing. Structure, coordination, and collective action.
Point taken about Spain.
