How do Americans financial and visibly protest/ endorse such sides of a situation?


E.g. If a consumer wanted to buy American, the manufacturer should market it as American Made.

E.g. If a consumer wants to boycott a country's product, they can avoid it. They can share a message that they bought (arbitrarily) Swedish goods, not (arbitrarily) Russia goods.


E.g. When Russia invaded, Ukrainian flags popped up in visible support.

The UAW is asking on all the unions that can, to set up any new contracts to expire by the end of April 2028. They wanna organize the big strike for May Day '28. A lot of the unions have active contracts with explicit consequences for breaking them.

I like the sound of that. As long as the protests, stay peaceful and protest like, and don’t turn into looting festivals, I am all for it. I’m not so wild about the idea of dousing some poor guy with water in that cold though.

You actually feel badly for what happened to Jake Lang in Minneapolis? Some poor guy…..

is that real? It reads like an Onion article

Its real, and it is already having serious repercussions. Lets remember that the EU is the 2nd largest economy on the planet and they have put a pause on the EU/American trade agreement. The EU is also looking to activate its 'Anti-Coercion Instrument,' known as the 'trade bazooka'. On top of that Denmark has given Trump a big fuck off by pulling out of the World Economic Forum in Davos.

What are Trump’s latest tariff threats and could EU hit back with ‘big bazooka’?

Europe could use powerful but untested law amid pressure over Greenland – but it could also lose out from a trade war

EU-US trade deal ‘on hold’ after new Trump tariffs

Trump says ‘no comment’ when asked if he would seize Greenland by force – as it happened

The US president said he would “100%” push ahead with his plans to hit European nations with tarrifs if he doesn’t get Greenland

After Trump's utterly insane letter to Denmark maybe the GOP will finally pull their cowardly heads out of their cowardly arses and put an end to the insanity. Otherwise there is no telling just how far this might go with a nutter like Trump.
