There's no shortage of those kinds here in Ontario. I'm sure it's not nearly as many, but I'm only trying to point out that, it's not a uniquely Alberta phenomenon.
It genuinely confuses me that people can have their whole identity be defined by "Trump good, Trudeau bad"
Are people really this uninteresting? I mean, I have opinions on politics, even US politics. I don't feel strongly enough about any of them to put a bumper sticker about it on my car, nevermind buy or fly a flag about any of it. I don't even put political signs on my lawn (nor do I allow anyone else to). I just have so much going on that I can't be arsed to advertise that I even have an opinion on what's going on in politics.
I try to always vote, and show up for every election, unless there's a very good reason why I can't (like being very ill, injured, hospitalized, etc). But I am not my political views, and I can't understand people that build their identity around a politician. Surely something else you do is important? No? Okay then.
It's kind of interesting that someone's personality boils down to "I am evil"
