Trump supporters want to boycott these businesses after the Super Bowl

I saw the 84 Lumber ad and thought "uhh am I the only who thinks this is pro-wall?". It was weird because I saw my liberal friends share it, and even a liberal news outlet share it. I'm glad this thread confirmed it is indeed a pro Trump/wall ad

How though? It's placed in the future where the wall is already built. 84 Lumber makes it possible for Mexicans to enter the States through the giant door.

Ok, you're going to have to explain this to me like I'm five. How in the world is that commercial pro-wall?!?

Particularly with stuff like this:
That document, which was reviewed by The New York Times, said the commercial would show a mother and daughter on “an arduous journey north,” as American workers built a large structure. Their journey appeared doomed once they reached the wall until a patriotic symbol inspired them to find a massive doorway — which is what the workers were creating all along. The final line: “The will to succeed will always be welcome here.”

Seems pretty pro-immigration to me...

Trump supporters are too economically anxious to spend money on all that anyway

And the 84 Lumber ad was supposed to be pro-wall lol

This isn't common knowledge but the owner of that company is diametrically opposed to Trump. She's a second generation immigrant who feels Donald has disrespected her on a personal level.
 
[Ms. Magerko, who said she voted for Mr. Trump, said the ad was meant to recruit employees in their 20s “who really believe in American dreams.” She expressed concern about the labor shortage her company is facing. She said she had a welcoming attitude toward certain immigrants, while providing the caveat that she had faith in elected officials to “make the decisions to make us safe.”

“I am all about those people who are willing to fight and go that extra yard to make a difference and then if they have to, you know, climb higher, go under, do whatever it takes to become a citizen. I am all for that 110 percent,” she said. “But do I want cartels? Hell, no.”

So yeah

When you like it you usually put a ring on it.

Price is secondary.

If price is secondary, such that it doesn't matter how expensive it is, why would it matter how cheap it is either? You know, such that the person could afford it without having to save up for it. But what do I know, I've never even had a girlfriend, let alone been in the position to consider engagement. So if that's what he wants to do with his money, then hey, it's his money.

When will these dipshits start boycotting Twitter and Facebook as well? They huff and puff about being "targeted" with these ads, but they won't actually do anything when it comes to services they actually use, especially to spout their shitty opinion.

I don't like coke but any company that pissed off trump's idiotic supporters is doing good work. Those tweets are almost as dumb as his own.

Ok. So is this an actual thing, or is it, as it has been every other time we've seen this article, like four or five idiots on twitter making noise?

Are they going to boycott Pepsi and Coke as drinks or Pepsi and Coke as companies?

Cause I have a feeling most of them probably don't know all the different brands that those companies actually own.

Spend enough time searching Twitter and you'll find enough tweets to write a news story about any group's reaction to anything. Such lazy journalism. Do these outlets have interns whose sole job is just to search Twitter for these remarks?

Nailed it.

Twitter can be used to push any narrative you want.

The worst part is that all the junk food and drinks they make probably make up the majority of their shitty diet.
