A few weeks ago, I told my Canadian coworker that if she leaves to see her Dad, as she does at least once a year, she might not be able to come back. She just laughed like I was joking.

Seriously?

About 97% of my coworkers have no idea any of this is even happening. I’d imagine the majority of the US public has no clue what is happening.

No denying that.

You sound like either a Russian propaganda account or a clueless asshole.

Exactly, they already got access…

The hero thing is not a mindset of most Americans. It seems like you’re considering everyone in the US is an ignorant conservative. While there is definitely a large group that is very ignorant and naive, there is a different large population that do not live in a fantasy world and understand what their country has done on a world stage.
