If those Trump supporters could read, they'd be pretty upset.
Let's see how committed they are to "Free Speech". Bets on how long until Florida or D.C. bans these ads? (They'll call it "foreign interference").
They'll call it "foreign interference"
Honestly it kind of is. Though in this case I'm all for it.
The precedent has been set. We are playing their game and these are their rules.
The First Amendment is gone.
Trump is openly retaliating against people who criticized him. Our constitution isn’t worth the crumbling paper it’s written on any more.
I’d do an ad that says: “We don’t pay the tariffs. You do” — Canada
Which is pretty true. But it's funny because Canada has tougher tariffs on the US meaning their people pay more for things there for exactly the same reason. Canada charges a 300% tariff on dairy.
So yeah. Tariffs are bad. Let's get rid of them entirely.
That’s not true btw the only thing 300% or more is dairy products classified as other (dehydrated butter, ghee, anything not covered by other negotiations) and it’s only applied when the amount imported is higher than the agreed upon terms of CUSMA
Yeah, that’s only if they make too much. You’re being a jackass on purpose and are probably paid opposition here in the United States. Can it
The US and Canada both have dairy tariffs in place. However, they functionally do not exist because they are only applied after a quota is met. For example, last year Canada charged a 0% tariff on all US dairy imports because the total volume of trade never breached the quota limit. This has basically been the case since NAFTA.
Canada, on average, actually charges lower tariffs than the US. That was true before Trump's trade war and remains true today.
Canada can also meet most or all of its own dairy needs. There's no reason a Canadian should be buying dairy from other countries aside from a few niche/luxury products, so that tariff is fine.
Charging tariffs on things a country needs to import is crazy.
So yeah. Tariffs are bad. Let's get rid of them entirely.
70 percent of the revenue of US dairy producers comes from government subsidies lol. As a result they overproduce at less than half the real cost, all from your tax dollars. Pretending like everyone dropping tariffs on US dairy would make dairy trade "fair" is asinine.
As someone who escaped Florida a decade and a half ago: they can't read that shit.
We need to formulate an ideogram that even Florida man can understand.
Sounds like lyrics to a Soul Coughing song. Is M. Doughty around here, somewhere?
They've been running fox news advertising as well.
“At Fox News we’d bet our bottom dollar that we’d do anything to increase our bottom dollar”
I like to imagine that the Murdoch news outlets are exchanging money for other outcomes, like spreading racism and hailing corporate.
How long until they spend more time and effort banning this while yelling about it constantly than ever saying one bad thing about how Russia is infiltrating our country by doing almost the exact same thing.
Que ‘24’ timer sound effect
I didn't know foreign governments could buy ads in America for political purposes.
It's the USA. Everything is for sale. From the wellbeing of your ordinary everyday citizen to the government that supposedly represents.
Saw the same on a billboard near Hendersonville, NC. Had to look twice.
In Ohio as well. Too bad Im convinced this state is too stupid to understand anyhow.
Ha! I thought op used a highlighter to cover the screen, and one could just see through it.
But it's just the design of the machine...
They should be more precise: "Trumps tariffs are a tax on your grocery bill". Anyone elses would be, too, yes, but no-one else is that stupid.
Wait until 2028 when tariffs are the moderate Democratic policy.
because Democrats insist on chasing Republicans tail as they both run further into fascist degeneracy.
too bad they didn't hire me on the marketing team. my sign for florida would have just said "fuck you".
Mildly funny
Americans are going to take this as a statement that Canada themselves are paying the tariffs.
Can I share this on "colorslash"? /s
