      Watch and learn.

      Despite its popularity on the Right, Don’t Tread On Me has functional appeal across the political spectrum.

      Also, if they wanted a meek and incapable populace, they would have restricted firearms purchases, rather than flog the idea that as many firearms as possible should be sold to the public.

      Don’t Tread On Me.

        I mean maybe but the ultimate “dont tread on me” is about the death penalty and nobody is at his court house. Nobody is bothering to keep that story alive and thriving. It had it’s 2 minutes of fame. We moved on. Rinse and repeat for everything on the left. Like there’s no momentum for anything worthwhile. The only time there’s traction is for things that really do not have clear goals. It all seems like the left is led astray and herded. Why isn’t Luigi on every Reddit and Lemmy and Twitter and Facebook thread right now? It leaves me with no hope for anything else.

            Thanks for illustrating my point.

            How’s that Canadian boycott going. You still seeing momentum for that? How’s Galen Weston doing this quarter? We have no ability to maintain

              How’s that Canadian boycott going.

              It’s fun! We have apps that we use to scan barcodes, helping us identify American products so we can leave them on the shelf! Any sense of loss on any nostalgic product, is easily forgotten, as i purchase trays of one and a half dozen eggs at will.

              How’s Galen Weston doing this quarter?

              Quite well in imagine. He’ll be eaten if and when it becomes warranted.

              We have no ability to maintain

              Which is why we look elsewhere for reliable trade partners.

                The momentum is dead. I get you want to say “we’re doing great” but our fellow Canadians already forgot. This is my point in all of this. Not being honest in this very serious situation is not doing any favors. The news cycle moved on. The mob moved on. There’s outliers holding the fort but that main body moved on and it’s frustrating to not address that. It’s extra frustrating that I know you care but that you’ll say “it’s going great” when you and I both know it isn’t. That the pressure stopped building.
