A beloved family-run grocery store in Florida may soon close its doors after more than four decades in business — and the owners say tariffs are to blame.
The trouble began when President Donald Trump’s tariffs took effect, shaking the foundation of small import businesses across the country.
To the MAGA, get fucked
To the protesters yesterday, do you see that the protests had exactly zero impact? So I hope to fucking god you got some phone numbers and made some plans, cause we’re about to cross the rubicon.
Every single protester is a hell of a lot braver than your sorry ass dooming on Lemmy
Actually, let’s do this.
You’re a fucking imbecile if you think “dooming” is a thing anymore. The president RAPED AND PHYSICALLY ABUSED LITTLE GIRLS. He is wiping his ass with the constitution. He is an obvious liar and chatlatan.
You, specifically, can get fucked because anyone who thinks near enough has been done about this yet are abject cowards.
I don’t fucking care about your opinion, but you and more people need to be told this.
Good luck.
It sounds like you really do fucking care about their opinion. It also sounds like you’re projecting your own cowardice onto them.
The people out in the real world, attending these protests, especially in red states, are much more brave than you, and their actions are much more effective than anything you could possibly do or say here.
In your own words, “get fucked”.
👍 have the country you deserve!
and here you are sitting on your ass complaining about protestors instead of doing anything about the issue.
Not my country pal, and if it was I’d sure as shit be doing a lot more than attending a protest every few months. You can call me a liar or coward or whatever you want, I know what the truth is
the truth is your a loser crying online while other people are actually making their voices heard about injustice through protesting
Sure why not
lemmy.ca is a troll instance and needs to be defederated if they don’t start cleaning their shit up.
Lol what?
half of all interactions I have seen from lemmy.ca users have been attempting to incite violence from Americans against Americans.
you should read some of the shit that your fellow users are saying to Americans. Not very “Canadian”, sounds more like MAGA.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I wonder how much of that is “you guys need to do something more than protest” being interpreted as “go out and kill people”.
There is more that can be done that doesn’t involve violence. But every time it comes up, there is some excuse for why it can’t be done.
Lots of Canadians, like me, are frustrated and tired of watching America sleepwalk into full blown fascism. And while I respect people for protesting, I’m at the same time appalled that this was not the largest protest in US history.
So good on everyone who tried but shame on you as a nation if that is the best you can do.
The protests right now are a glorified meet and greet. Most of these folks have never protested before.
But all the pamphlets and people I met proved that we are organizing and spreading ideas. This is how it starts.
The ‘protest’ part of the protest is just marketing. The actual work is when you meet the local unions and shake hands with the local powers. And no better time to meet them than a ‘protest’
Everyone who actually went to the protest knows what I’m talking about. The speakers and such are whatever and just preaching to the choir, but important to draw crowds. The actual work gets done at the tables and booths on the side.
Go to the next protest. Organize. We have 3 years before the next Presidential election, we have 1 year before the next congressional election. The time is ticking and we need to get the grassroots process started. It takes a long time.
There is no glory in a meet-and-greet.
It is the work that leads to glory.
I think I love you
The rest of them will understand our love eventually
Exactly. Wow at least one American that gets it. Mostly. The part where elections happen is for some reason a big mental block that almost everyone seems to have. You keep hope I guess but no way is that happening on this trajectory.
That’s why I said “you better get phone numbers”, ir the protest itself is toothless, so hopefully everyone was making the most of it.
I fucking love seeing all the downvotes when reality bites. Just so you know, downvoting on social media is not going to save your country, and your eternal optimism (read: blatant naivety) will be…nay, IS… your downfall.
Dude, did you expect a military coup? Read some history.
That’s rich
