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.

As an American, this warms my heart. I'd do the same if I wasn't worried about being violently assaulted for doing so.

Only 31.8% of Americans voted for him. The plurality winner was "didn't vote."

The video description says something entirely different than the title.

November 18, 2014, leafs vs nashville predators. The mic cut out partway through the us national anthem and the Canadian fans took it from there!

Yes. The video is an example of how hockey fans generally react to the national anthem of their rivals. Booing the national anthem is not done. It shows the extreme contrast between the respect that fans normally give and the atypical reaction of the fans following the ridiculous and self-destructive Trump tariffs.

Sorry you missed that.

Ohhh I see, I thought it was a source link, but it was a comparison link. Thanks for clarifying!

As an American that didn't vote for this clusterfuck, I totally support this. Apparently we need our allies, who we are trying to alienate, to stand up for us.

didn't understand what tariffs are and how they work

I really hope people to make into consideration than one point to make a vote.

MAGA is all about hurting people. MAGA voters voted to turn the country over to the billionaires because they said that they were going to hurt brown people, women, LGBTQ, etc. They would allow the country to be bankrupted as long as people get hurt in the process.

Sadly the country is basically bankrupt and has been for decades

Just for people who don’t know, this never happens. Hockey fans tend to be respectful during other country’s anthems

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Yes. See the link in the original post that includes a Canadian hockey audience finishing the US national anthem when the PA system went out.

Hockey fans booing another team's anthem is not done.

American here. Please keep doing this.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

^ Another American here; and I second this notion! ^

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We should do this in America, too, and for all sports.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Yes, Please.
