✨To my American neighbours below me as I sit in a country well on the same path-
America has seen it all, hasn't it? It's been through struggle, so much fucking struggle and what is birthed from that struggle? A prospering, better nation- as someone who's special interest has been North American history since the age of 5, please take my word for it.
You will prevail through this shitstorm. It might be scary, it might take a revolution and it might be a hard road, but just like all the other storms America's land has had upon it's soil- the good of the people, the kindness and the right thing will prevail.
Here in Canada, we were so angry for so long at your population as we blamed you for allowing such a man to end up in a place we so highly respected. But we educated ourselves, realized how your elections work- realized just like with us at home, it's a dawn of a new, turmoiled age where the very idea of democracy is threatened.
A large amount of us wish you safe haven in our land, just like it had been during the mid 1800's- we've stuck by you in all your wars across seas (despite some being a tad questionable) and we will stick by you in this one at home, whether it be a visible one or a quiet, looming internal one. We welcome you here, and will never stop advocating and speaking up for what your country deserves- ❌America has fought too hard for too long just for all that hard work to be thrown out the door.
✨To the ones who are scared, I need you to listen to this very closely and repeat it constantly when you're afraid of where your government's future lies✨
America has been through political storms, the chaining of basic rights and literal people before + the threat of democracy shattering- and what happened at the end of that all? The good of the people prevailed.
The people of colour who called this country home while building and feeding it's growing nation found themselves allowed to be considered a citizen with rights after so many years of turmoil and abuse, the children who worked like dogs in factories found themselves finally being protected by labour laws, the gender who was constantly looked at as inferior became a part of the workforce and gained the ability to vote, the people who loved who they loved stopped being imprisoned and gained a right to be themselves-
and then apart from all the storms at home, there was the storms overseas, which ended up waking America up as to what "war" truly means: The American People Fought Back; Made Their Voices Heard, Made Their Fellow Countrymen's Sins Open Information For All To View
The People That The American Government Disregarded Prevailed.
And you, in this present moment and all moments hereafter, will prevail too.
I know it must be scary to think of the future, about the shattering of democracy before your very eyes, but you've been through it before- so have we up in the North. And each time it did, our countries both prevailed and laws and acts to make sure it never happened again were put into place- you're country is strong, and those laws and acts will find their way through the channels once again to make America the country it had been flowering to become.
