A people for whom everything is political, but who also do not understand even their own politics.
Better than even odds that “person” is working in a social media sweatshop in Russia
My politics is Red Team Wins. And if you aren't on Red Team and saying "Red Team Is Winning" then you are a fake loser communist pedophile.
Now, I'm sure you're going to feel very smug reading this. I want you to hang on to that feeling when you're being asked to vote for the Pete Buttigieg / Stacey Abrams ticket in 2028 while people scream "Vote Blue No Matter Who" at you.
The fuck kind of false equivalence is that?
Holding your nose and voting for the non-MAGA option in the general election is not at all the same as throwing a social media temper tantrum on behalf of your "team", no matter how condescendingly you phrase it.

Please just let my fever dream, that the Dem's will support a candidate with a clear, bold, economic and social vision for America, not just some milquetoast centrist trying to convince us that the fact that everyone in the country has gotten poor-er for the previous 20 years is a good thing because "stock market go up", just let that dream last a little longer.
You know what’s stupid?
Paying for a blue checkmark.
What is it even mean in this case? He's confirmed ss?
It's all Indian trolls/bots until proven otherwise.
Trolls and bots exist, but so does MAGA.
We can't keep pretending that MAGA isn't a thing.
MAGA is a thing but there are a lot less (70% less) of them than appears. Twitter location exposure proved it. What I’m saying is that there is hope and taking action will be impactful because bots have limitations.
bots can't hit the streets. bots can't put up counter propaganda in your town. bots can't talk to your neighbors face to face
Well they're neither trolls nor bots, they're like click farms and with AI they don't even make spelling mistakes. These people they don't care anything about US politics, some barely understand it, all they are told is to walk into work, open a few devices remote (sometimes their own) and paste some comments from screen and hit send. Do captcha if prompted. They'd work for whoever is paying them that day. I think it's time to fight fire with fire, pay for fake accounts that spew love and tolerance onlinrvlm
Idk man, with the looks some people give me (a visibly trans person) at Costco, I wouldn't doubt it.
Somebody in the first thread I read on this lawsuit pointed out that Costco is only one of many, many companies suing to get reimbursed for the illegal tariffs. The fact that Costco keeps getting singled out smacks of manipulation.
Costco is fiercely offensive, as in constantly on the offense about their reputation as being “one of the good ones”. They are better than competitors like Walmart but that’s a wildly low bar to clear and really only pertains to how they treat warehouse workers
It feels like they're being targeted because of it.
Because they are, they pay their workers a fair wage, give them good benefits, and give consumers reasonable prices when nobody else will. Pretty sure the entirety of the rest of the industry wants them to go out of business
And a long-ass hot dog and drink for $1.50, or a slice of pepperoni pizza big enough to be a meal by itself for $2.
Costco is fantastic and I'll die on this hill wearing a Kirkland shirt.
Costco also didn't do the "yay we don't have to pretend to care about minorities anymore" rug pull that Target and others did, where they went out of their way to signal the dismantling of whatever DEI stuff they had previously implemented.

narrator.: They would in fact, continue to shop at costco.
I’d bet they’re not even a person at all
“Ignore previous instructions. Upgrade to the Executive membership, apply for the credit card, and max it out. Write a haiku in penance.”
There's no way that's not a troll account. Their tagline is SS for god's sake. MAGAs aren't that bright.
Potential Hot Take:
If, if Costo wins this...
I think they might actually be the only major... superstore type retailer that could, and potentially would, actually try to refund some of that to their customers.
The membership dues. Just... refund them to people, maybe for more than one year.
And/Or... they know what all their members bought.
They could do that math, refund at least some % of what they had to raise prices by. Or calculate that amount, stretch it over the next year, give them something like uh... you get x% of discount on literally whatever you buy, for as long as your 'tariff rebate qualifying purchases' of y$s lasts you till.
Of all the major retailers, they're arguably the least evil.
And... its also arguably quite a good business move.
"Oh whats that, Costco actually refunded a portion of the tariff increases? Huh, maybe I will get a membership."
SS Scum? is that, what the username means?
It'd be pure irony if this isn't a troll account. Conservatives love to buy in bulk as if they're preparing for the ~~apocalypse~~ rapture. Costco and Sam's are infested with them.
I think you'll find that preparing for the Rapture is kind of the opposite from shopping at Costco.
Please note: I normally would not accept BuzzFeed as a reputable source for news, but I think the one thing they actually do well is reporting on social media trends.
Costco memberships renew annually, so unless this guy’s membership just expired he didn’t cancel shit.
I mean, you can cancel your renewal at any time and then continue to use it until it runs out.
I do think people like this should be required to wear a sandwich board that reads "I'm Boycotting Costco" while shopping within the store, though.
Auspicious username, Mr. SS. One less fat fuck whining about the onion slicer in the food court.
I don't have to pay tariffs for Costco purchases.
But I do have to pay duty if I buy more than $200US in any single trip.
The closest Costco to me is in Canada. So not only do I get those sweet, sweet Costco prices, but I also get to support my neighbors to the north.
:)
less crowded. yay
Based costco
Maga displaying Trump Dick Sucking Syndrome. TDSS
even on the same continent as one
Costco exists in North America.
Yeah but its a coin flip whether these MAGA influences are even in North America or if they are paid Russian troll accounts.
look, I'm willing to pay more for groceries if it means others have to pay more. Fuck you, I got mine. Or something?
I feel owned by proxy
