Please don't uncritically promote the idea of Canada building a wall to keep Americans out. That's my last resort escape plan. There's a lot of reasons why it's not very funny.
If you're trying to show white Americans what it's like to be unwanted, it's not going to hit your pro-wall MAGAs, because they're not scared or thinking of leaving. It's *only* going to hit those of us for whom that may be our only way to survive next year. It's a downward punch.
And if the suggestion is that MAGAs need to be kept out of Canada with a wall, it only reinforces the idea that Central and South American immigrants are undesirable and dangerous like MAGAs are, in a way that only the Left will get. You're helping the fascist ideology seem appealing to those who presently fight it.
No walls. Don't. Please. It's not a joking matter.
