Some Democrats vote Republican but haven’t got round to changing their party. Works the other way around too.

REPUBLICANS have. Democrats and Indies, not so much.

I have seen no change on the ground in the US towards Canada, Mexico or the EU. In fact a bunch of ding dongs seem unaware Of the growing tension thanks to the criminals running the US currently. im in a red state -maybe that’s mostly legacy media projecting its BS

Trump's US state department is funding MAGA think-tanks and charities across Europe to disseminate MAGA-alighted policy positions and destroy the orders in Europe and UK. www.ft.com/content/f869...

Culturally and historically rich, true social democracies - what's not to be hated by American republicans?

I have a friendly attitude toward Canada but would understand if they had an unfriendly attitude toward us

That scaled Y axis is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Democrats in the US have an upward trend re seeing Canada as #unfriendly or an #enemy? Dear Canada, join the EU. Now. French, English and Spanish are official languages. european-union.europa.eu/principles-c...

Just like the Ghor.

I have really low expectations as a baseline, but seeing that Dems aren't socially inoculated against this nonsense is still gut wrenching. Can't even maintain positive attitudes towards our literal allies in a global crisis. ffs

GOP, as always, making the rest of us look bad

I can come up with a few reasons why the Republican antipathy for the EU would have begun climbing in 2025, but I can't figure out what triggering event(s) would have caused the same hostility against Canada starting in *2020*.

'Easily led'.....is a phrase that springs to mind!!?

Unreal. Propaganda from the right is killing our country

Yup.

It's like they've never met an actual Canadian.

Its also kind of true though, because of the US policy, Europe and Canada have become less friendly

"Favourable vs Unfavourable" is also significantly different from "Unfriendly or an Enemy". Polling choosing that sort of heightened language is already sending it's own message.

Still only 30% of them? So the majority of “they” have not changed their mind?

Republicans never beating the cult allegations. Do as supreme leader says...

Thank you for sharing these polls, I am not surprised that the Republicans take easily to their new marching orders, are there any polls focusing on US perceptions of Denmark/Greenland?

The US government is telling Americans to hate Europeans and Canadians. And many have dutifully changed their opinions. MAGA have no opinions of their own.

Talk about sheeple

Cringe diplomacy is doing its bit (but 👏 to @nroettgen.bsky.social‘s raction) www.politico.eu/article/dona...

Framing is different though. The US refers to the State, Canadians and Europeans refers to the citizens.

Europeans are more advanced and civilised imo than America. The US got off to a bad start stealing the land and massacring it's rightful owners.

Actually, 2/3rds of the GDP difference between USA and France is that the french have holidays and retire earlier. I mean, which would any sane person rather have?

You’re looking at a chart showing republicans doing what they always do: follow what Trump tells them.

Glad this is a moment to look at the % more than the trend.

If anything, Europe (inclusive of UK) is a bastion of Whiteness and the backlash against immigration is highest in Europe than anywhere else in the world + Australia. There is a reason Europe pays Turkey to keep immigrants from entering EU & keep the higher load.

For the record, the vast majority of Americans do not think this way and love all of you. We’re embarrassed by all of this nonsense.

In we are dumb enough to let them enter

Gdp is higher, but.... The USA generally has a higher overall poverty rate (approx. 17.8%) compared to most Western/Northern European nations, driven by higher income inequality.

This notion of "how Americans hate Europe" is way too simplistic. There is considerable hostility among significant sectors of the US population, but that is only part of the story.

americans aren’t smart enough to be jealous of Europe

Stupidity and malice

To many Americans don't even know about it and still think USA is the number one in everything. Now of course not everybody is like that, but to many.

Same differences with Canada. As we always say: Americans live to work whereas the rest of us, work to live.

They hate you because they're insanely racist. They hate people of colour and Canada and Europe's immigration policies.

Yea Ukraine people getting democracy and a higher standard of living then most Russians even without drilling for oil. And you can't have a successful democracy right next to you as Russia.

Also noteworthy that many countries in Europe have a *higher* median household net worth than the US. www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-top-2...

We didn't really care about the American colonies, you weren't particularly profitable

Maybe right there is the problem. Woe, 🇨🇦...

Republicans not generic “Americans”.

Weird phrasing. It's objectively true that Canada is less friendly to the US than before the US started treating Canada as an adversary, but that doesn't reflect and shouldn't be conflated with enmity from the Canadian side.

More and more every day Fallout lore doesn't seem to outlandish.

Propaganda works.
