People are literally giving up staples like broccoli to avoid American products (sh.itjust.works)

I was at the grocery store the other day and there was a bin of American broccoli completely full and untouched. The Canadian broccoli bin? Empty. Canadians would literally rather give up broccoli than buy American.

I for one picked had broccoli on my grocery list but opted for cauliflower instead.

Man, why can't the people of America be more like this. We fucking suck

Be the change. If you're American, take your money out of big tech, big corpo. Buy from local producers and family farms. Buy from coops. Buy from companies that didn't bow down to the anti-DEI diktats.

I do this already. In the process of degoogling. I shop at Costco a lot and farmers markets It's frustrating talking to Americans these days. It's like talking to a brick wall. People that are on Trump's d*** think he can do no wrong and don't see the hypocrisy.

That's all you can do yourself. Forget about the cultists, find those who you can get along with and help each other out. It's gonna be a long time to get through this for any non-fascist Americans.
