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.

And 100% of Canadians vote, right? And 2 million+ of those mail-in ballots get thrown out, right? And those are only available in certain provinces anyway, right? And people stand in line for 5 hours, right? And there are only 2 polling locations per city, right? And there’s no issues with indigenous people being disenfranchised by the government, right?
It’s almost like Republicans actively make it as difficult as they possibly can for people to vote. And I sure as hell am not going to blame those people who had their ballots thrown out, or stood in line for 5 hours only to get turned away because they closed the polling locations early (illegally, I might add) or didn’t have some esoteric form of ID that they didn’t know they needed because Republicans had quietly passed a Voter ID law in the state without sending out any notification to anybody - and then largely only demanded it from people who “looked too Mexican.”
Again, those who actively chose to stay at home and not vote? Blood is on their hands, fuck 'em. But there’s tons of people who actively voted and had their vote thrown out or were denied the right to vote, and I’m not gonna put them in the same boat. Voter suppression in the US is bad, and it was even worse this past election. To the point where there’s questions about whether or not the election was tampered with. But go ahead and keep blaming the Jews for not voting against Hitler hard enough.
