We realize that most Americans didn’t vote for Trump (only 49.8%) and that most of those who did probably didn’t understand what tariffs are and how they work and we realize that Trump’s action and our response are going to hurt poor Americans, and poor Americans in red states more than others, but we’re not going to take illegal tariffs sitting down.

Just a reminder who Trump is pissing off.

    Ignorance is no longer a valid excuse. We all have access to all of human knowledge. “Not knowing how tariffs work” is no longer a valid excuse.

      Yes. See the link in the original post that includes a Canadian hockey audience finishing the US national anthem when the PA system went out.

      Hockey fans booing another team’s anthem is not done.

    No worries, eh! May you come out on the other side of this insanity better than going into it. Until then, can you help a bro out and change the laws to let descendants of Canadians claim citizenship?

    Good, if America won’t stand for Freedom, than we cannot stand for America, none of us can.

    I look forward to apologizing that my fellow citizens, who likely don’t even have a passport, voted for this troll every time I travel overseas now. “Travel Cringe”

      MAGA is all about hurting people. MAGA voters voted to turn the country over to the billionaires because they said that they were going to hurt brown people, women, LGBTQ, etc. They would allow the country to be bankrupted as long as people get hurt in the process.

    As an American, this warms my heart. I’d do the same if I wasn’t worried about being violently assaulted for doing so.
