Story summary

At the recent two-day Republican midterm convention in Dallas, thousands of supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump echoed his harsh rhetoric against Canada, despite personal connections to Canadians. A supporter from Tennessee, Lona Heins, described modern Canada as "communist" and argued that it no longer shares values with the United States, although she personally knows many Canadians. Despite this, Heins supports Trump's stance on trade issues, emphasizing her loyalty to him rather than engaging with detailed information about bilateral tensions. The event highlights how political leaders' rhetoric can influence public opinion among their supporters, even when personal experiences contradict those views.
