That's right Americans. You voted for this. Time to suffer the consequences.

I for one do not buy products from any company where the end owner is American. I will keep doing this even if the tariffs go away. Some people may start buying American products again but I won't.

Didn’t vote for this but I support your actions. I won’t forget how yall supported the US after 9/11 and then we fucking give you this bullshit

[–] SirMaple__@lemmy.ca 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Totally understand. I guess I could have worded it a bit better or added that more people SHOULD have gotten out and voted. But it doesn't help that it seems like everyday politicians in the US are trying to take away peoples ability to vote. So dumb. Also election days should be holiday's in every country in my opinion.

We pulled out all the stops the day of that's for sure. Especially with Operation Yellow Ribbon. Some of our smaller towns accepted so many aircraft that there was more passengers in the town then the actual population.

Yes the situation in the US is dire. Every day, someone just decides to give in to fascism. I’d argue that we’re not full blown fascist yet - but it’s not for the lack of trying. Die fuhrer is trying to blatantly rig the election. It will take years to become a functioning country again, and then years again for anyone to trust us

It's not about the taffis for me, it's about supporting a fascist oligarchy. When that changes (both the fascist, and the oligarchy), I'll start buying from them again. I'm not young and I don't expect it to happen in my lifetime.

Thing that really drove me to research where products came from was when the cheeto stained felon said he wanted to take Canada and Greenland. Like why? Other than he's not playing with a full deck. Both countries have done nothing to warrant it.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago

Because both countries have resources he wants.

I do the same. I even sort through pineapples (Costa Rica) to find one brand (Pink Pelican) that’s from Ontario and not an US importer. Sometimes they only have the US import ones and I am just not buying pineapple that week. I find something else. Like kiwi from NZ.
