I would absolutely adore if, years in the future, we find out that the funds from all this merch actually went to Trudeau. Like when Elvis Prestley’s own PR manager sold ‘I hate Elvis’ merch.
Litterly saving $1000/month on childcare thanks to Treadeau.
All i get from Danielle is higher insurance, higher utility bills and risk of losing my pension...
Life is too comfy for them, they identify with a struggle because they're actually just really bored and jaded that life didn't turn out they way they wanted but it can't be their fault.
The thing I hate about these kind of guys….is that they are the first to vilify our youth for being disrespectful when they have these losers as role models:/
They're absolutely the first to call the youth lazy entitled disrespectful and rude. Then they do this shit. WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN
The lack of self awareness is prevelant with groups like this. They modelled the behaviour for the youth but its the oung ones that are the problem. Oof
May as well be walking around with the words “I’m dumb” stamped on their foreheads. I’m convinced most of them don’t even know why they hate him, they just follow the herd.
Don’t forget the decal on the truck in Sherwood Park about taking Justin to the train station, complete with Yellowstone logo. I know Kevin Costner is a Republican but I don’t think he’s the kind that would see his show used for that kind of bullshittery.
Did people ever used to wear t shirts or anything either for or against other political parties before Trump? Like I don’t remember, especially in Canada, people ever wearing political merch just randomly? It’s weird either way, to be such a big fan of politicians.
The only thing I recall ever seeing was “Tax This Brian” (with a middle finger) bumper stickers back in the early 90s when Mulroney brought in the GST.
It’s the first thing I think of when I see the Fuck Trudeau stickers/shirts…..
There was a guy with a “Fuck Harper” sticker in his rear window. He was ticketed and told to remove it. I guess the rules have changed — or it depends on who you’re protesting against.
I'm convinced these people neither know nor care about politics, not really. People like the dude you describe do it to get reactions like yours. They think they're cool rebels and everyone reacting poorly is an oversensitive sheep. He'd probably be overjoyed to hear you posted on Reddit about his super duper edgy t-shirt.
I don't say any of this to make fun of you because I have no more love for grown adults acting like toddlers than you, I've just gotten to the point where I realize the correct reaction to this sort of thing is pity.
In the moment, the correct reaction is also to studiously avoid noticing them. And the harder they try to get you to, the harder you pretend to be engrossed in something on your phone or outside the window or sth. Don't be showy about it, because then they still know you've noticed them. Just fail to give them a single glance.
Not to sound like a sheep, but I agree with you. Politics and economics are extremely complicated topics that people spend their whole lives studying to try and gain a sliver of understanding. Meanwhile, jokers like this are sold a bunch of easy answers with a built-in scapegoat and they latch on without feeling the need to put any mental effort into understanding the nuances of the issues that are affecting all of us. While it's gross and saddening, it also makes sense why people fall into that kind if ignorance. The world is inherently uncertain and downright frightening sometimes, and people crave something solid to get behind or be a part of, like a sports team. I just wish people would just exercise their brains a bit more, develop a bit of empathy, and realize that life is better for everyone if we set aside hatred and division and all pull together. But I guess that's too much to ask from some folks.
Yep, lots of ppl even consider themselves “right wing” because they agree with a few snappy catch phrases like the one OP is talking about. In reality, if they truly understood the machinations of government and the economy, they’d probably see themselves as center or even center-left.
Ironically, most of the complaints of conservatives and liberals revolve around same main point: stop wasting my tax money. It just comes out in different ways.
Yes!!! Working class people, whatever their political flavour, in fact have way more in common than most would care to admit. It's just so easy to get us to hate each other instead of having us unite against the real oppressors.
It's fine to be sheep.
Most of the people that call others 'sheep' drive a truck made by 1 of only 3 corporations, listen to the radio station with no minority artists and have 30 other things the same as their neighbours. They make fun of people that are different.
"Sheep" has lost all meaning.
Not that it justifies their bullshit, but I think we have to factor in privilege too. A lot of the “fuck Trudeau” types I know were raised in blue collar families. I’ve observed that while they had the oil money advantage, they often grew up in chaotic and dysfunctional families where the need to survive the next onslaught of verbal/emotional/physical abuse likely made it difficult to focus on learning or developing critical thinking. They developed this “us vs them” mentality for a reason. Broken people are often the most destructive.
I know I’m painting with a broad brush, but my point is, we have to figure out how to understand each other to even begin to come up with solutions.
This is a very fair point. I'll add that growing up in that kind of environment makes you feel a bit "always ready to fight" and so they're looking for someone to fight with. Wearing a shirt that basically says "I want to fight you" is par for the course. It feeds a weird thing in the brain because their brain doesn't know how to be at peace.
Totally! Same with the the stickers and the flags. They’re looking to satisfy a confrontational itch.
I have this missionary zeal about it and I probably need to tone it down sometimes lol, but I think the key to solving our biggest problems is to become a trauma-informed society. From big-T to little-t trauma, it impacts every facet of society.
You'd be amazed how many people I know who, 5-10 years ago would proudly state they don't vote because "it doesn't make a difference" and "they're all the same". These people never learned anything about politics, including basics like understanding what each level of government is responsible for. These are now the same people sporting fuck Trudeau stickers, and they've done nothing to educate themselves in politics besides eating up what ever bullshit TikTok pushes down their throat.
Edit: and even with all their bitching and all their fuck Trudeau stickers, they probably still won't vote.
Really?
Those filthy bastards.
they should be boiled to death, maybe make a last tiny scream, their last sight a man with a white bib with , for some strange reason, red lobster sihouettes
The world is so frustrating. These fuck Trudeau jackasses can block a good portion of a highway protesting for freedom We haven't lost. But people are protesting for something super serious at universities and getting tear gassed and forcibly moved during peaceful protests. But you won't see a single one of them fighting for the people who are getting tear gassed because it doesn't fit their political beliefs.
I'm not a fan of Mr. Trudeau, but wearing a shirt that says F anybody is totally inappropriate in public. It just speaks to the fact that our culture has become more vulgar in the past few years. If I was a restaurant owner, I wouldn't allow that kind of shirt to be worn in my establishment. If that person was saying F Trudeau out loud he would likely be asked to leave. Wearing a shirt that says this, is just as bad.
I was at Denny’s a few months back and a guy came in with a “Fuck Trudeau” shirt illustrated with a noose hanging from a tree branch.
I get free speech, friend, but you’re a dick for threatening a democratically elected leader, and you’re an even bigger dick for putting it on your shirt, or your lifted truck, or on your social media profile. In the US that’s the sort of thing that earns you a friendly visit from the Secret Service. I guess we don’t treat it as any kind of threat until it is, at which point Justin gets to wear a bulletproof vest for a few days and the Rebel/Sun/F Trudeau guys get a few more days of questioning his manhood. Wash, rinse, repeat.
It's funny they claim they're under a tyrannical dictatorship but have the privilege of wear clothing like that in public. Imagine wearing that type of shirt with Putin on it in Russia
Sounds like a lot of people I know who work in O&G. Very little education beyond their trade, probably an anti vaxxer, and spends most of their days surrounded by like-minded, truck driving muscle heads.
Everyone should work minimum wage for at least a year or two of their life. Millions of Canadians are not "lucky to have a job", they go work for a miserable boss to pay their bills.
Emotional toddlers. He may have been in his 60s physically - however - his emotional age is apparent. When we can't control what someone does - we try and control what others feel about them. These things are modelled by the behaviour deemed acceptable in this society of mental/emotional deficency. I see these people and I feel badly they havent been giventhe tools or resourses for self reflection.
Ugh this makes my blood boil. I’ve seen trucks sitting outside my kids school (prek- grade9) with this plastered in giants letters across the back window.
The other day I was driving my kids around and my 7 year old asks why the vehicle next to us has a sticker giving the middle finger and the f-word on it.
Like congratulations, you hate Trudeau. What a remarkably unique sentiment in Alberta 🙄
If I’m being honest, I have a “Fuck You Kenney” mug… but I reserve it for use in the privacy of my home, and the proceeds went towards PPE for teachers during the pandemic.
And my nine-year-old constantly tells me that it’s inappropriate.
It's trashy to display that language in public, no doubt. I think at least they self identify themselves for you so you know that you have a trashy imbecile in your midst and can avoid any interactions.
Yes it's great when you're driving your 10 year old home from his hockey game and pass by a convoy of F Trudeau trucks and you have to explain to your child why some people think that's appropriate.
I grew up in the 90's.
I remember these people didn't want swear words.on television because of how it would affect children.
Then when I moved into middle and high school. We weren't allowed to wear the FCUK brand clothing because it was "offensive"
Parents, teachers and all other "authority figure adults" had issues with that brand. And others similar to it.
These are the same people sporting fuck Trudeau stuff.
They taught us that words matter and blah blah blah. Then through it all away the day Trudeau was elected in my mind.
I was in Grand cache last week and I met a guy who told me. We need to do a better job keeping lgbt people and their stuff away from our kids. They can do whatever they want just keep it away from the kids.
He did not have any examples of when it's shown to kids in appropriately.
"In school" - well where and when can they learn safely about it? - his answer was at home from parents. If they feel like they need to know about it.
So that said everything I needed to know about there people.
Did it just have an F or the whole F word? There was a time when the entire word on the shirt would have meant you would not have been allowed into a restaurant or store. Now of course the staff have to be worried about being assaulted and/or filmed for tiktok. I'd have sat at the next table and talked to my partner all about how I just got my covid vaccine this morning and heard that the vaccine sheds the virus up to 20 feet but it wouldn't be a worry since they were vaccinated. Then I'd bring up our gay offspring and the upcoming Pride celebrations. Oh and my volunteering for the NDP. My thoughts on how great the carbon tax are and my new electric car. On and on and I would not run out of things to say until that asshole got up and left.
I’m not brave enough to do it, but I’ve seen someone tell a guy wearing one of the hats that “you must be excited that Trudeau’s single now, maybe you can have sex with him” the guy stormed off.
I’d be worried these losers would assault someone for it though.
I use to be one of those guys... I never got the tshirt and all that (almost bought one )
I was caught up all in that hatred, F Trudeau ,F the government .
Then i realized the only people that i was really upsetting is myself , myself and my family because all i would do is whine about how bad the government is and forget about life itself.
I moved on, got rid of toxic social media like Twitter and life been great !
Yeah sure we're all struggling ,some worst than others but it can't be that bad if you can still afford your alcohol,your internet bill, Starbucks coffee and weed ,and spend all day on social media complaining how life is hard.
I grew up in Poland 80s,90s towards the end of communism (the real communism ) i know what it like , these people here in Canada , to my opinion have it too good , they have everything they need and yet not satisfied.
We have healthcare , it may not be the fastest but we have it .
Groceries are expensive but affordable if you buy what you need and not random shit,shelves are fully stocked .
Plenty of work around and yet no one wants to work.
Yes alot of people don't realize what they have here. My parents are immigrants and they always saw the light in this country because they were able to build a life here and give me a better future. So when they go out and see these things they're appalled.
I have two young kids who are starting to read. They see letters and try putting them together. I have no problem with swearing, but, like anything, there’s a time and there’s a place. On your vehicle or on your clothes where children will be is not the place. Someone’s parents failed them.
What absolute garbage. People need to get a grip. Yeah, Trudeau is bad, but they do they think wearing those shirts and putting them on their trucks will change anything.
Dont really like any politician - Trudeau included - but people who wear shit like this are losers and make me laugh how they let people live rent free in their heads. Then I carry on with my life and the lessons my kids learn is that that dude isn’t worth anyones time. He’s an attention starved man child.
I’m tired of it. It’s baffling to me that it’s become OK to so many people to display this message in public. We wouldn’t stand for it if a kid was called into a school wearing the same thing. Why is it ok in a restaurant? Society is broken.
I think nobody wants to do anything about people with these shirts, hats etc coming into their businesses because there’s likely a higher than average chance that they’re mentally unstable and would react violently. It’s just not worth it to the minimum wage worker, or low-paid retail manager to deal with. Even business owners probably don’t want to risk these guys and their convoy clown buddies targeting their business.
It's not okay for most of us, but that particular sentence has become acceptable (and even praiseworthy) in that man's social media bubble. What we're seeing here is an attempt to shift the Overton window. People like him are trying to make it acceptable to say that sentence in public, and are counting on the rest of us to be too adverse to conflict to object. Thus, an extreme behavior becomes normalized.
It’s actually a case of avoiding extreme behaviour. This type of person wants to see political change but are too adverse to the level of conflict that would actually make a difference. Organizing protests and rallies is hard but wearing a shirt is easy. Getting into an argument with a parent at Ihop is fun but facing off against a government is scary. It’s doing the absolute minimum while pretending to be part of a solution.
I’m so sick of seeing “fuck Trudeau” everywhere. Not only that, but it’s an excellent indicator of someone with low intelligence. They can’t properly express themselves so they just resort to swearing.
I personally am well educated, but choose to work with my hands. When I'm alone or with coworkers I tend to swear a lot. When I'm dealing with strangers or people who don't know my personality, I don't swear at all.
However fair your point may be, I stand by my own. Intellect and use of profanity are not a direct correlation.
I think the commenter implied that the person was resorting to swear words in an inappropriate situation. It’s not like what you described yourself as doing.
I don't have a link handy, but I've actually seen a study suggesting that highly intelligent people use MORE profanity (and they're also more contextually aware, so they don't just mindlessly pepper every sentence with a half dozen "fucks").
No, no. What I’m saying is that intelligent people provide context as to why they feel a certain way. People who arn't as intelligent can’t provide context or can’t articulate clearly why they fee a certain way, so they just parrot, in this case, “fuck Trudeau.”
I’m NOT saying they don’t swear at all. I am saying they don’t go around in public wearing a “fuck Trudeau” shirt.
It is still worthwhile to have conversations especially those who are not completely lost. It is also important to get out and vote.
Our media is owned by US hedge funds and the CBC goes overboard to “both side” things.
I’ve had conversations with people who completely change their minds once they know the facts.
There are still people who don’t know they get a climate tax rebate.
There are even still some people who believe the carbon tax is responsible for high grocery prices. (The impact of the carbon tax on groceries is less than 1%)
Ignore the arseholes with the bumper stickers, but talk to your friends and neighbours.
Right! I had this guy message me about something I was selling on FB marketplace. I check his profile because I've had a few scammers message me. Dude had a whole whack of public posts about chemtrails. I was all, nope not giving you my address.
I don't sell anything on Marketplace or Craigslist anymore unless it's a super niche item that's only going to attract people with that very specific interest (eg high end musical gear). I'll either give it away to family or friends, or I'll list it online as free.
Any money could get is not worth the hassle of dealing with tire-kickers or people who think haggling means offering 10% of asking. I'd rather get nothing and not have to deal with that.
I took a trip to Toronto last year and wondered "why does no one here want to have sex with Trudeau?" But seriously, it was a little shocking to see people don't behave like this across the country.
That's unsurprising. People, even those who live here, just assume Alberta is full of racist rednecks and that everywhere else is fine. But this kind of crap is popular everywhere, especially rural areas.
Go to BC. People have an image of BC as super progressive, because they think Vancouver represents the whole province. Go to the interior or northern BC and it's just as conservative as Alberta, if not moreso.
I went to Montreal last year and saw one F*ck Trudeau shirt. It was an Albertan (the back of his shirt had his company name so even better 🙃). Like, thanks for giving us all a bad name!
The restaurant should have told him to cover it if he wanted to continue to join his table for dinner service; site a minimum dress code, even. It's mother's day, where most people make reservations. IDGAF about people's choice of clothing, but ill be damned if im going take my mother and grandmother out for a nice Mothers Day meal and have them have to see some trashy and offensive D-bags political statement. Get some class.
Yeah, I just feel employees don't want to deal with it anymore. People just want to do their jobs and go home without some angry man yelling at them and posting them on social media.
Totally. This is a situation for the restaurant manager to deal with. If I brought a party for mother's day and my mom's had to look at that, I'd ask my server to send the manager over for chat.
Yeah, the partisanship is much worse today. Back in the 90's the general opinion was that there was little difference between the Conservatives and the Liberals. (Not saying that's true, but it was a common sentiment.) We voted in one, then when they got too used to being in power we replaced them with the other one. Now it's holy war.
Absolutely, that's what I mean. Most people used to view both sides as pretty much the same. Now the conservative supporters are all fired up for a holy war.
I saw a child that looked around 8, but couldn’t have been more than 10 years old, wearing one of those shirts at Walmart. I was disgusted with his parents. Trashy even by Walmart standards.
I saw a woman in Safeway a couple of months ago wearing a black hoodie depicting a dead tree with a noose hanging from a branch and the message "Come West Trudeau". Despicable.
The old man is just looking to get a rise from people because they are the way they are.
This is just a Male Karen. No need to be shocked. Just stay happy. They hate that.
It’s good to rant but try to come to terms with the fact that morons like that won’t and can’t change, there’s not enough brain cells left to evolve such a practice.
My brother has one of those stickers on the back of his truck… i’ve never liked those crude bumper stickers and he really leans into that “blue collar” tradesman vibe. drives me nuts sometimes
I’m not a Trudeau fan and absolutely NOT a Danielle Smith fan by any means so would I wear a t-shirt that said F either of them to a dinner or a Xmas party ? No absolutely not , everyone is entitled to how they feel and to be honest I bet a lot of people feel exactly how he feels but not to a family restaurant or anywhere where there’s a gathering of family’s and especially where children are.
I really hate seeing those on clothing, vehicles, hats, etc....it feels so trashy to me.
Yes, you are entitled to your opinion, but saying it in that manner portrays more about somebody than people realize...and not in a good way.
There is such a thing as civility and civil society. We must be careful of what we tolerate as then we are allowing society to evolve in that direction. If someone would have asked him, in a civil manner, why he thinks wearing a t-shirt bearing a word many people, many mothers, find offensive, to a restaurant where many people are celebrating their mothers, is appropriate, perhaps he, and others, would think twice about their behaviour and its consequences.
They all find Justin and Pierre very sexy, but their toxicity prevents them from just coming out and saying it, so they play it off as if they hate the guy and don’t want to be held by him in a loving embrace.
That's literally all he's got. Like already pointed out below, it's always someone trying to exert control on everyone around them. Totally weak mentally with zero integrity.
He was telling you who he is, just like if someone wears a band t-shirt or a uniform- this is the kind of person they are. And when I see people wearing that or having it splayed all over their truck (cause let’s be real, always a truck), it tells me they’re immature, they probably don’t know the difference between your and you’re, and most importantly, telling me they’re not anyone I need to interact with. I have no problem if people have different ideas and politics than me, and I am not the biggest Trudeau supporter myself, but if you’re gonna throw a temper tantrum you are not worth the time. I can’t control him wearing that shirt, and it’s his right to do so, and it’s my right to interpret it however I want, too.
This is not the kind of behavior I would expect at a fine establishment such as Red lobster... Maybe at Denny's.
All kidding aside, remember that "F Trudeau" actually means "F everybody". It's a virtue signal. Anyone who would wear anything political going out for a mother's Day brunch is not trying to make friends. The goal is to make people uncomfortable.
When someone wears articles of clothing or have car accessories that aggressively state their political beliefs what you're looking at is someone who has so little depth to their personality and character that they have to compensate for it with aggressive political stances.
The guys with their little fuck trudeau stickers, hats, and shirts, are shallow and boring people, with nothing in their lives that makes them actually interesting. This is them trying to compensate for that. The easiest thing to do with people like that is also the most sensible thing: pity them for how little they have going on for themselves, and then ignore them.
They thrive on the attention it gets, because that's the only thing they have in their lives that gets any attention at all. It's up to you to ignore it, or throw them a bone and flip them off or something. They'll be happier if you give them a bit of attention that they crave so badly.
Those people are pure trash and I feel pity for them. Imagine having nothing better to do than be offensive and “own” someone you don’t even know.
Edit: on a day that’s not even about him, no less! I feel bad for the woman if she was his wife/partner. So selfish.
I truly hated harper. I put signs on my car that set "stop harper".
I dislike justin trudeau and if it wasn't so crass I would probably have a slogan on my car as well. However, our society is full of children.And I don't believe in putting curse words on my car and on my shirt. We are a bit old school so perhaps our family values are different from others. My children ask About the people with the slogans of F Trudeau. I tell them the Truth and explain that those adults have curse words. My eldest is very offended by the bad manners and gives them a thumbs down every time he sees one, lol. It's like these people are purposely trying just to be offensive and get a rise out of society. Clearly their mothers didn't raise them right, ( A quote from my seven year old ).
Dislike or hate your government all you like but do it with class.
My opinion on the whole "fuck Trudeau" thing is that the people who buy those products were biased against him from the start simply because of who his father was.
I'm not going to get into what good or bad he's done. These people just wouldn't have turned hating him into their personalities if his dad hadn't been Pierre Trudeau.
This is why I hate BoTh SiDeS arguments.
You have huge swathes of the population whose sole identity is just being a hateful asshole under the guise of "politics."
You rarely see anything even CLOSE to this from someone who identifies on the left
“You rarely see anything even CLOSE to this from someone who identifies on the left”
Spend some time on the Alberta sub. I’ve read some wild things coming from people on the left about anyone who identifies as anything but.
They are all thirsty for Trudeau they want to fuck him so bad they can't help but advertise their feelings 24/7. Trudeau is handsome but he doesn't inspire me to wear shirts, fly flags and put stickers expressing my desire to fuck him everywhere. To each their own.
Kinda my thing too. I hate the fk trudeau stickers, hats, shirts etc. It's like the maga crowd but less classy and more childish. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of trudeau, some decency in public. If I wore a shirt that said fk pollievre I'm sure one of them wouldn't think twice about punching me in the face.
These type of people along with the ones with their big honky tonky trucks completely decked out in "f*ck trudeau", loaded with flags etc.. I automatically just assume they're racist
I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment of the shirt. But with that being said I totally agree with you. This shows a lack of class. Know the place and time.
However I feel things will get worse before they get better. It's a long road to 2025...and even then there really isn't a trustworthy candidate to take the throne.
I am not agreeing with the guy at all and I am someone who from what I am told oddly does not swear at all, but I don’t think a lot of youth are shocked by it now. My children’s teachers casually swear in the classroom. I was shocked and complained and was told by three different schools that times have changed and is not a big deal.
I agree it is definitely rude but a lot of society no longer agrees. Etiquette in general is disappearing and people don’t seem to care who they offend.
I stopped going to a place because a guy was always wearing his fuck Trudeau shirt, hat and had flags and decals on his car. His wife would also wear fuck Trudeau shirts and hats on occasion. They would also come with their grandkids every so often. It was a family friendly restaurant and they just loved the attention even if it was negative
Their politics are their only piece of identity, which is ironic as they’re the same ones to gripe about “identity politics” when LGBT+ people just try to be ourselves, or when anyone just tries to be themselves
He’s likely doing it for reactions like the one he’s getting here! If he’s not giving any craps about what other people think about it, why waste the energy caring (and giving him the satisfaction of a reaction he’s likely looking for)?
At the end of the day people are allowed to wear whatever they want whether anyone else likes their choices in clothing or not, so I would just do your best to go about your day ignoring it & enjoying your day.
This is exactly what’s happening. Stop giving these people sooo much attention that’s what they want. The fact that they showed offence and then posted about it is exactly what the guy wanted. The people on here constantly complaining about them are just as annoying as the f Trudeau crowd.
one of the dads at my brothers high school grad was wearing an f trudeau shirt…….like you don’t wanna dress nice for your daughters graduation?????? just wanna rage bait???????
I semi agree with you and him at dinner tho i would say it was in poor taste.
But I also think the awareness is warranted I myself am no fan of Trudeau but i dont have a "F Trudeau" sticker or anything.
but in light of all the political none sense out there i think this is the least of our worries.
The only option is to completely ignore it, don’t give them any sort of attention even them seeing you look at the shirt & whisper to your friends is exactly why they wear it.
same people who complain about things being shoved in their faces, meanwhile literally shoving the only part of their meaningless identity in peoples faces.
I went to my toddler’s Xmas party and a mom had a F Trudeau sweater on. At a daycare Christmas party. Really???
People have turned identity politics into their identity. It's pathetic.
Fr. Like, I don't like the guy or what he's done, but Im not making it who I am. And Im definitely not buying merch 😂😂
I would absolutely adore if, years in the future, we find out that the funds from all this merch actually went to Trudeau. Like when Elvis Prestley’s own PR manager sold ‘I hate Elvis’ merch.
Which ironically have $10 a day fees now thanks to trudeau.
Litterly saving $1000/month on childcare thanks to Treadeau. All i get from Danielle is higher insurance, higher utility bills and risk of losing my pension...
Don’t forget a failing provincial power grid
same
Saving people money instead of corporations how dare that fing guy.
lol people are blind to what they only want to see…
That's too far. Why can't people just enjoy life a little. It's sad.
Life is too comfy for them, they identify with a struggle because they're actually just really bored and jaded that life didn't turn out they way they wanted but it can't be their fault.
The thing I hate about these kind of guys….is that they are the first to vilify our youth for being disrespectful when they have these losers as role models:/
They're absolutely the first to call the youth lazy entitled disrespectful and rude. Then they do this shit. WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN
The lack of self awareness is prevelant with groups like this. They modelled the behaviour for the youth but its the oung ones that are the problem. Oof
I agree with you. Regardless of political opinion that's just rude/inappropriate in public
Agreed. If it was a f*ck Danielle Smith or a f*ck Poilievre shirt, it would still be a glaring lack of social understanding.
Exactly. Even when it's a decal or bumper sticker, why pay money to devalue your $50000 truck or your $3000 jeep?
Mental deficiency is the answer, every time.
To be fair, conservative governments have been messing with education funding since the beginning. They want us ignorant and compliant.
The GOP playbook.
I prefer the “Fascist Handbook” but potato/tomato
May as well be walking around with the words “I’m dumb” stamped on their foreheads. I’m convinced most of them don’t even know why they hate him, they just follow the herd.
I have been wanting to make "I WANT TO" stickers to put above the "F'ck Trudeau" decals on trucks.
Sadly, those t-shirts and bumper stickers are what pass for intelligent and well thought out political positions here in Alberta.
Don’t forget the decal on the truck in Sherwood Park about taking Justin to the train station, complete with Yellowstone logo. I know Kevin Costner is a Republican but I don’t think he’s the kind that would see his show used for that kind of bullshittery.
Did people ever used to wear t shirts or anything either for or against other political parties before Trump? Like I don’t remember, especially in Canada, people ever wearing political merch just randomly? It’s weird either way, to be such a big fan of politicians.
The only thing I recall ever seeing was “Tax This Brian” (with a middle finger) bumper stickers back in the early 90s when Mulroney brought in the GST. It’s the first thing I think of when I see the Fuck Trudeau stickers/shirts…..
There was a guy with a “Fuck Harper” sticker in his rear window. He was ticketed and told to remove it. I guess the rules have changed — or it depends on who you’re protesting against.
I'm convinced these people neither know nor care about politics, not really. People like the dude you describe do it to get reactions like yours. They think they're cool rebels and everyone reacting poorly is an oversensitive sheep. He'd probably be overjoyed to hear you posted on Reddit about his super duper edgy t-shirt. I don't say any of this to make fun of you because I have no more love for grown adults acting like toddlers than you, I've just gotten to the point where I realize the correct reaction to this sort of thing is pity. In the moment, the correct reaction is also to studiously avoid noticing them. And the harder they try to get you to, the harder you pretend to be engrossed in something on your phone or outside the window or sth. Don't be showy about it, because then they still know you've noticed them. Just fail to give them a single glance.
Not to sound like a sheep, but I agree with you. Politics and economics are extremely complicated topics that people spend their whole lives studying to try and gain a sliver of understanding. Meanwhile, jokers like this are sold a bunch of easy answers with a built-in scapegoat and they latch on without feeling the need to put any mental effort into understanding the nuances of the issues that are affecting all of us. While it's gross and saddening, it also makes sense why people fall into that kind if ignorance. The world is inherently uncertain and downright frightening sometimes, and people crave something solid to get behind or be a part of, like a sports team. I just wish people would just exercise their brains a bit more, develop a bit of empathy, and realize that life is better for everyone if we set aside hatred and division and all pull together. But I guess that's too much to ask from some folks.
Yep, lots of ppl even consider themselves “right wing” because they agree with a few snappy catch phrases like the one OP is talking about. In reality, if they truly understood the machinations of government and the economy, they’d probably see themselves as center or even center-left. Ironically, most of the complaints of conservatives and liberals revolve around same main point: stop wasting my tax money. It just comes out in different ways.
Yes!!! Working class people, whatever their political flavour, in fact have way more in common than most would care to admit. It's just so easy to get us to hate each other instead of having us unite against the real oppressors.
Most of them still believe that Federal Government bought the Transmountain Pipeline to shut it down.
It's fine to be sheep. Most of the people that call others 'sheep' drive a truck made by 1 of only 3 corporations, listen to the radio station with no minority artists and have 30 other things the same as their neighbours. They make fun of people that are different. "Sheep" has lost all meaning.
Lol I know, I just said it for a chuckle.
Not that it justifies their bullshit, but I think we have to factor in privilege too. A lot of the “fuck Trudeau” types I know were raised in blue collar families. I’ve observed that while they had the oil money advantage, they often grew up in chaotic and dysfunctional families where the need to survive the next onslaught of verbal/emotional/physical abuse likely made it difficult to focus on learning or developing critical thinking. They developed this “us vs them” mentality for a reason. Broken people are often the most destructive. I know I’m painting with a broad brush, but my point is, we have to figure out how to understand each other to even begin to come up with solutions.
This is a very fair point. I'll add that growing up in that kind of environment makes you feel a bit "always ready to fight" and so they're looking for someone to fight with. Wearing a shirt that basically says "I want to fight you" is par for the course. It feeds a weird thing in the brain because their brain doesn't know how to be at peace.
Totally! Same with the the stickers and the flags. They’re looking to satisfy a confrontational itch. I have this missionary zeal about it and I probably need to tone it down sometimes lol, but I think the key to solving our biggest problems is to become a trauma-informed society. From big-T to little-t trauma, it impacts every facet of society.
Guarantee this guy doesn't vote because that would require some form of identificaiton.
You'd be amazed how many people I know who, 5-10 years ago would proudly state they don't vote because "it doesn't make a difference" and "they're all the same". These people never learned anything about politics, including basics like understanding what each level of government is responsible for. These are now the same people sporting fuck Trudeau stickers, and they've done nothing to educate themselves in politics besides eating up what ever bullshit TikTok pushes down their throat. Edit: and even with all their bitching and all their fuck Trudeau stickers, they probably still won't vote.
I actually had someone ask me recently "ok so what is the difference between municipal, provincial and federal governments?".
My god, I hope they don’t vote. How can someone teach adulthood and not understand grade 6 level shit?
They don't. And they are 35.
It would require more brain power than “hur hur swear word on t shirt funny”
I guess the lobsters weren't the only bottom dwelling creatures in attendance
And the lobsters have much better taste
And lobsters think rotting flesh and feces on the bottom of the ocean are delicious.
Really? Those filthy bastards. they should be boiled to death, maybe make a last tiny scream, their last sight a man with a white bib with , for some strange reason, red lobster sihouettes
Yup. I don't have to explain the lobster's choice of profanity-laden shirt to my young reader at a family restaurant.
>lobster's choice of profanity-laden shirt All the lobster chose shirts that say " Claw Trudeau " They mad
The world is so frustrating. These fuck Trudeau jackasses can block a good portion of a highway protesting for freedom We haven't lost. But people are protesting for something super serious at universities and getting tear gassed and forcibly moved during peaceful protests. But you won't see a single one of them fighting for the people who are getting tear gassed because it doesn't fit their political beliefs.
I'm not a fan of Mr. Trudeau, but wearing a shirt that says F anybody is totally inappropriate in public. It just speaks to the fact that our culture has become more vulgar in the past few years. If I was a restaurant owner, I wouldn't allow that kind of shirt to be worn in my establishment. If that person was saying F Trudeau out loud he would likely be asked to leave. Wearing a shirt that says this, is just as bad.
I was at Denny’s a few months back and a guy came in with a “Fuck Trudeau” shirt illustrated with a noose hanging from a tree branch. I get free speech, friend, but you’re a dick for threatening a democratically elected leader, and you’re an even bigger dick for putting it on your shirt, or your lifted truck, or on your social media profile. In the US that’s the sort of thing that earns you a friendly visit from the Secret Service. I guess we don’t treat it as any kind of threat until it is, at which point Justin gets to wear a bulletproof vest for a few days and the Rebel/Sun/F Trudeau guys get a few more days of questioning his manhood. Wash, rinse, repeat.
It's funny they claim they're under a tyrannical dictatorship but have the privilege of wear clothing like that in public. Imagine wearing that type of shirt with Putin on it in Russia
China would immediately throw them into a concentration camp
Sounds like the typical boomer who peaked in high school who is just dying to get attention / validation from anyone who will look.
Sounds like a lot of people I know who work in O&G. Very little education beyond their trade, probably an anti vaxxer, and spends most of their days surrounded by like-minded, truck driving muscle heads.
And overpaid. That’s where a lot of their smarminess comes from. Imagine where a lot of them would be without the oil boom.
Everyone should work minimum wage for at least a year or two of their life. Millions of Canadians are not "lucky to have a job", they go work for a miserable boss to pay their bills.
Bold of you to assume he made it to high school.
Maybe his mom bought him the shirt, lol
He wanted attention and he got it.
It's their midlife crisis, don't worry about it. Sad losers who missed out on being edgy in jr high and high school because they were conformists.
Emotional toddlers. He may have been in his 60s physically - however - his emotional age is apparent. When we can't control what someone does - we try and control what others feel about them. These things are modelled by the behaviour deemed acceptable in this society of mental/emotional deficency. I see these people and I feel badly they havent been giventhe tools or resourses for self reflection.
Ugh this makes my blood boil. I’ve seen trucks sitting outside my kids school (prek- grade9) with this plastered in giants letters across the back window. The other day I was driving my kids around and my 7 year old asks why the vehicle next to us has a sticker giving the middle finger and the f-word on it. Like congratulations, you hate Trudeau. What a remarkably unique sentiment in Alberta 🙄
If I’m being honest, I have a “Fuck You Kenney” mug… but I reserve it for use in the privacy of my home, and the proceeds went towards PPE for teachers during the pandemic. And my nine-year-old constantly tells me that it’s inappropriate.
Bad taste for sure, regardless of one’s opinion on Trudeau.
It's trashy to display that language in public, no doubt. I think at least they self identify themselves for you so you know that you have a trashy imbecile in your midst and can avoid any interactions.
Yes it's great when you're driving your 10 year old home from his hockey game and pass by a convoy of F Trudeau trucks and you have to explain to your child why some people think that's appropriate.
I grew up in the 90's. I remember these people didn't want swear words.on television because of how it would affect children. Then when I moved into middle and high school. We weren't allowed to wear the FCUK brand clothing because it was "offensive" Parents, teachers and all other "authority figure adults" had issues with that brand. And others similar to it. These are the same people sporting fuck Trudeau stuff. They taught us that words matter and blah blah blah. Then through it all away the day Trudeau was elected in my mind. I was in Grand cache last week and I met a guy who told me. We need to do a better job keeping lgbt people and their stuff away from our kids. They can do whatever they want just keep it away from the kids. He did not have any examples of when it's shown to kids in appropriately. "In school" - well where and when can they learn safely about it? - his answer was at home from parents. If they feel like they need to know about it. So that said everything I needed to know about there people.
I drove by the assholes on the side of the road in NS/NB. I gave them the finger. At no time did I think it would be a good idea to stop for a visit.
Did it just have an F or the whole F word? There was a time when the entire word on the shirt would have meant you would not have been allowed into a restaurant or store. Now of course the staff have to be worried about being assaulted and/or filmed for tiktok. I'd have sat at the next table and talked to my partner all about how I just got my covid vaccine this morning and heard that the vaccine sheds the virus up to 20 feet but it wouldn't be a worry since they were vaccinated. Then I'd bring up our gay offspring and the upcoming Pride celebrations. Oh and my volunteering for the NDP. My thoughts on how great the carbon tax are and my new electric car. On and on and I would not run out of things to say until that asshole got up and left.
Hahaha that would have been gold. It was the full f word.
Oh yea I would have had fun with that then.
The lunatics of the right wing. I don’t even bother interacting with this type of person anymore.
I've never understood why these people are so keen to tell everyone that they want to have sex with the PM
I’m not brave enough to do it, but I’ve seen someone tell a guy wearing one of the hats that “you must be excited that Trudeau’s single now, maybe you can have sex with him” the guy stormed off. I’d be worried these losers would assault someone for it though.
Ya i think that's pretty much why the restaurant left him alone. Then again Red Lobster doesn't exactly have a dress code.
"Alberta summer bus tours: Sleep with your favourite male Ottawa politicians! 10% Discount for farmers!"
I use to be one of those guys... I never got the tshirt and all that (almost bought one ) I was caught up all in that hatred, F Trudeau ,F the government . Then i realized the only people that i was really upsetting is myself , myself and my family because all i would do is whine about how bad the government is and forget about life itself. I moved on, got rid of toxic social media like Twitter and life been great ! Yeah sure we're all struggling ,some worst than others but it can't be that bad if you can still afford your alcohol,your internet bill, Starbucks coffee and weed ,and spend all day on social media complaining how life is hard. I grew up in Poland 80s,90s towards the end of communism (the real communism ) i know what it like , these people here in Canada , to my opinion have it too good , they have everything they need and yet not satisfied. We have healthcare , it may not be the fastest but we have it . Groceries are expensive but affordable if you buy what you need and not random shit,shelves are fully stocked . Plenty of work around and yet no one wants to work.
Yes alot of people don't realize what they have here. My parents are immigrants and they always saw the light in this country because they were able to build a life here and give me a better future. So when they go out and see these things they're appalled.
It’s just rage bait. Waiting for someone to stare or say something to create conflict. Ignoring them (unfortunately) is the only thing you can do.
Some people just love being assholes! That man would attack you if you turned around and wore a fuck small pp shirt.
I have two young kids who are starting to read. They see letters and try putting them together. I have no problem with swearing, but, like anything, there’s a time and there’s a place. On your vehicle or on your clothes where children will be is not the place. Someone’s parents failed them.
What absolute garbage. People need to get a grip. Yeah, Trudeau is bad, but they do they think wearing those shirts and putting them on their trucks will change anything.
Dont really like any politician - Trudeau included - but people who wear shit like this are losers and make me laugh how they let people live rent free in their heads. Then I carry on with my life and the lessons my kids learn is that that dude isn’t worth anyones time. He’s an attention starved man child.
I’m tired of it. It’s baffling to me that it’s become OK to so many people to display this message in public. We wouldn’t stand for it if a kid was called into a school wearing the same thing. Why is it ok in a restaurant? Society is broken.
I think nobody wants to do anything about people with these shirts, hats etc coming into their businesses because there’s likely a higher than average chance that they’re mentally unstable and would react violently. It’s just not worth it to the minimum wage worker, or low-paid retail manager to deal with. Even business owners probably don’t want to risk these guys and their convoy clown buddies targeting their business.
It's not okay for most of us, but that particular sentence has become acceptable (and even praiseworthy) in that man's social media bubble. What we're seeing here is an attempt to shift the Overton window. People like him are trying to make it acceptable to say that sentence in public, and are counting on the rest of us to be too adverse to conflict to object. Thus, an extreme behavior becomes normalized.
It’s actually a case of avoiding extreme behaviour. This type of person wants to see political change but are too adverse to the level of conflict that would actually make a difference. Organizing protests and rallies is hard but wearing a shirt is easy. Getting into an argument with a parent at Ihop is fun but facing off against a government is scary. It’s doing the absolute minimum while pretending to be part of a solution.
I’m so sick of seeing “fuck Trudeau” everywhere. Not only that, but it’s an excellent indicator of someone with low intelligence. They can’t properly express themselves so they just resort to swearing.
That statement is objectively wrong. Highly intellectual people can and do use profanity
This is what I tell my kid about swearing. Some people will automatically think you’re stupid for doing it.
I personally am well educated, but choose to work with my hands. When I'm alone or with coworkers I tend to swear a lot. When I'm dealing with strangers or people who don't know my personality, I don't swear at all. However fair your point may be, I stand by my own. Intellect and use of profanity are not a direct correlation.
I think the commenter implied that the person was resorting to swear words in an inappropriate situation. It’s not like what you described yourself as doing.
I don't have a link handy, but I've actually seen a study suggesting that highly intelligent people use MORE profanity (and they're also more contextually aware, so they don't just mindlessly pepper every sentence with a half dozen "fucks").
No, no. What I’m saying is that intelligent people provide context as to why they feel a certain way. People who arn't as intelligent can’t provide context or can’t articulate clearly why they fee a certain way, so they just parrot, in this case, “fuck Trudeau.” I’m NOT saying they don’t swear at all. I am saying they don’t go around in public wearing a “fuck Trudeau” shirt.
Then I would say you are spot on. Being able to communicate effectively is a skill that many people lack.
There are lots of crazy people in society who believe in and do lots of crazy things. It's just not worth wasting energy getting mad about it.
It is still worthwhile to have conversations especially those who are not completely lost. It is also important to get out and vote. Our media is owned by US hedge funds and the CBC goes overboard to “both side” things. I’ve had conversations with people who completely change their minds once they know the facts. There are still people who don’t know they get a climate tax rebate. There are even still some people who believe the carbon tax is responsible for high grocery prices. (The impact of the carbon tax on groceries is less than 1%) Ignore the arseholes with the bumper stickers, but talk to your friends and neighbours.
Right! I had this guy message me about something I was selling on FB marketplace. I check his profile because I've had a few scammers message me. Dude had a whole whack of public posts about chemtrails. I was all, nope not giving you my address.
I don't sell anything on Marketplace or Craigslist anymore unless it's a super niche item that's only going to attract people with that very specific interest (eg high end musical gear). I'll either give it away to family or friends, or I'll list it online as free. Any money could get is not worth the hassle of dealing with tire-kickers or people who think haggling means offering 10% of asking. I'd rather get nothing and not have to deal with that.
I took a trip to Toronto last year and wondered "why does no one here want to have sex with Trudeau?" But seriously, it was a little shocking to see people don't behave like this across the country.
I moved from Ontario. There was/is MORE F Trudeau flags in rural Halton than in the Edmonton area.
That's unsurprising. People, even those who live here, just assume Alberta is full of racist rednecks and that everywhere else is fine. But this kind of crap is popular everywhere, especially rural areas. Go to BC. People have an image of BC as super progressive, because they think Vancouver represents the whole province. Go to the interior or northern BC and it's just as conservative as Alberta, if not moreso.
Yeah my friend moved here from Toronto and found it baffling.
I went to Montreal last year and saw one F*ck Trudeau shirt. It was an Albertan (the back of his shirt had his company name so even better 🙃). Like, thanks for giving us all a bad name!
In my town it seems a lot of people want to have sex with Trudeau. He’s single now from what I hear so have at it I guess?
The restaurant should have told him to cover it if he wanted to continue to join his table for dinner service; site a minimum dress code, even. It's mother's day, where most people make reservations. IDGAF about people's choice of clothing, but ill be damned if im going take my mother and grandmother out for a nice Mothers Day meal and have them have to see some trashy and offensive D-bags political statement. Get some class.
Yeah, I just feel employees don't want to deal with it anymore. People just want to do their jobs and go home without some angry man yelling at them and posting them on social media.
Totally. This is a situation for the restaurant manager to deal with. If I brought a party for mother's day and my mom's had to look at that, I'd ask my server to send the manager over for chat.
This has been going on as long as I've been alive. The slogans change, but the attention seeking doesn't.
While I agree, no one ever wore F Chrétien shirts.
Yeah, the partisanship is much worse today. Back in the 90's the general opinion was that there was little difference between the Conservatives and the Liberals. (Not saying that's true, but it was a common sentiment.) We voted in one, then when they got too used to being in power we replaced them with the other one. Now it's holy war.
Only one side seems to wear the team gear and offensive bullshit on their person and vehicles.
Absolutely, that's what I mean. Most people used to view both sides as pretty much the same. Now the conservative supporters are all fired up for a holy war.
And that's what I remember growing up. This just feels different.
PP is copying Trump with MAGANorth. We first noticed this when he brought coffee to the convoy crowd.
I can't stand Trudeau, but I would not wear one of those shirts.
Red lobster = white trash fancy. Not surprising.
I saw a child that looked around 8, but couldn’t have been more than 10 years old, wearing one of those shirts at Walmart. I was disgusted with his parents. Trashy even by Walmart standards.
That's sad, poor kid doesn't even understand why he's wearing that shirt.
Douche-bag-locator clothing wear.
I saw a woman in Safeway a couple of months ago wearing a black hoodie depicting a dead tree with a noose hanging from a branch and the message "Come West Trudeau". Despicable.
61m here. From Alberta. I think it's so cool that he's comfortable proclaiming 1) his gayness & 2) his dream sex partner. So brave.
The old man is just looking to get a rise from people because they are the way they are. This is just a Male Karen. No need to be shocked. Just stay happy. They hate that.
It’s good to rant but try to come to terms with the fact that morons like that won’t and can’t change, there’s not enough brain cells left to evolve such a practice.
My brother has one of those stickers on the back of his truck… i’ve never liked those crude bumper stickers and he really leans into that “blue collar” tradesman vibe. drives me nuts sometimes
When they have no personality other than you can't tell me what to do
I’m not a Trudeau fan and absolutely NOT a Danielle Smith fan by any means so would I wear a t-shirt that said F either of them to a dinner or a Xmas party ? No absolutely not , everyone is entitled to how they feel and to be honest I bet a lot of people feel exactly how he feels but not to a family restaurant or anywhere where there’s a gathering of family’s and especially where children are.
I really hate seeing those on clothing, vehicles, hats, etc....it feels so trashy to me. Yes, you are entitled to your opinion, but saying it in that manner portrays more about somebody than people realize...and not in a good way.
Personally I like saying “hey you’re in luck! I hear he’s single now”…. Then walking away quite quickly.
He's there for the attention and has made politics his personality. He lives in an echo chamber. Fuck this guy.
There is such a thing as civility and civil society. We must be careful of what we tolerate as then we are allowing society to evolve in that direction. If someone would have asked him, in a civil manner, why he thinks wearing a t-shirt bearing a word many people, many mothers, find offensive, to a restaurant where many people are celebrating their mothers, is appropriate, perhaps he, and others, would think twice about their behaviour and its consequences.
They all find Justin and Pierre very sexy, but their toxicity prevents them from just coming out and saying it, so they play it off as if they hate the guy and don’t want to be held by him in a loving embrace.
Shallow personalities
I prefer to live in a place where people can wear what they want to. It's also easier to pick out the D bags when they wear stupid shit like that.
There used to be something called public decency. Wear what you want, but also have some respect for the others in your surroundings.
That's literally all he's got. Like already pointed out below, it's always someone trying to exert control on everyone around them. Totally weak mentally with zero integrity.
He was telling you who he is, just like if someone wears a band t-shirt or a uniform- this is the kind of person they are. And when I see people wearing that or having it splayed all over their truck (cause let’s be real, always a truck), it tells me they’re immature, they probably don’t know the difference between your and you’re, and most importantly, telling me they’re not anyone I need to interact with. I have no problem if people have different ideas and politics than me, and I am not the biggest Trudeau supporter myself, but if you’re gonna throw a temper tantrum you are not worth the time. I can’t control him wearing that shirt, and it’s his right to do so, and it’s my right to interpret it however I want, too.
Lol, these chucklefucks, of course, think PP is the answer to Trudeau. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 EDIT: hahah downvotes. cons are big mad. Go back to getting grifted.
This is not the kind of behavior I would expect at a fine establishment such as Red lobster... Maybe at Denny's. All kidding aside, remember that "F Trudeau" actually means "F everybody". It's a virtue signal. Anyone who would wear anything political going out for a mother's Day brunch is not trying to make friends. The goal is to make people uncomfortable.
Hahaha good point.
When someone wears articles of clothing or have car accessories that aggressively state their political beliefs what you're looking at is someone who has so little depth to their personality and character that they have to compensate for it with aggressive political stances. The guys with their little fuck trudeau stickers, hats, and shirts, are shallow and boring people, with nothing in their lives that makes them actually interesting. This is them trying to compensate for that. The easiest thing to do with people like that is also the most sensible thing: pity them for how little they have going on for themselves, and then ignore them. They thrive on the attention it gets, because that's the only thing they have in their lives that gets any attention at all. It's up to you to ignore it, or throw them a bone and flip them off or something. They'll be happier if you give them a bit of attention that they crave so badly.
Those people are pure trash and I feel pity for them. Imagine having nothing better to do than be offensive and “own” someone you don’t even know. Edit: on a day that’s not even about him, no less! I feel bad for the woman if she was his wife/partner. So selfish.
Everyone with a visible fuck Trudeau sticker/writing anywhere rubs me the wrong way immediately.
Some restaurants have dress codes that forbid this sort of thing. Red Lobster is not one of them.
I truly hated harper. I put signs on my car that set "stop harper". I dislike justin trudeau and if it wasn't so crass I would probably have a slogan on my car as well. However, our society is full of children.And I don't believe in putting curse words on my car and on my shirt. We are a bit old school so perhaps our family values are different from others. My children ask About the people with the slogans of F Trudeau. I tell them the Truth and explain that those adults have curse words. My eldest is very offended by the bad manners and gives them a thumbs down every time he sees one, lol. It's like these people are purposely trying just to be offensive and get a rise out of society. Clearly their mothers didn't raise them right, ( A quote from my seven year old ). Dislike or hate your government all you like but do it with class.
Lol, I like your kid. My husband does the thumbs down too but he’s 40 so it doesn’t have quite the same impact.
My opinion on the whole "fuck Trudeau" thing is that the people who buy those products were biased against him from the start simply because of who his father was. I'm not going to get into what good or bad he's done. These people just wouldn't have turned hating him into their personalities if his dad hadn't been Pierre Trudeau.
People like that are just trolls, they just want attention.
This is why I hate BoTh SiDeS arguments. You have huge swathes of the population whose sole identity is just being a hateful asshole under the guise of "politics." You rarely see anything even CLOSE to this from someone who identifies on the left
“You rarely see anything even CLOSE to this from someone who identifies on the left” Spend some time on the Alberta sub. I’ve read some wild things coming from people on the left about anyone who identifies as anything but.
They are all thirsty for Trudeau they want to fuck him so bad they can't help but advertise their feelings 24/7. Trudeau is handsome but he doesn't inspire me to wear shirts, fly flags and put stickers expressing my desire to fuck him everywhere. To each their own.
The thing is, people have to actually go out and BUY these shirts. It's wild that people spend money on this shit. Simply go and vote 🤦
Kinda my thing too. I hate the fk trudeau stickers, hats, shirts etc. It's like the maga crowd but less classy and more childish. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of trudeau, some decency in public. If I wore a shirt that said fk pollievre I'm sure one of them wouldn't think twice about punching me in the face.
Well people like him are called Alberta Man.. Uneducated hillbilly with a lack of class. Same deal as Florida Man.
These type of people along with the ones with their big honky tonky trucks completely decked out in "f*ck trudeau", loaded with flags etc.. I automatically just assume they're racist
Ya, the Fuck Trudeau Bumper sticker / T-Shirt thing is corny AF.
It seems the right-wing whiney babies have been feeling especially emboldened lately. My friends have been harrassed more lately.
Those people just want attention. Best to ignore them. Staring at their shirt is the reaction they want
I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment of the shirt. But with that being said I totally agree with you. This shows a lack of class. Know the place and time. However I feel things will get worse before they get better. It's a long road to 2025...and even then there really isn't a trustworthy candidate to take the throne.
I am not agreeing with the guy at all and I am someone who from what I am told oddly does not swear at all, but I don’t think a lot of youth are shocked by it now. My children’s teachers casually swear in the classroom. I was shocked and complained and was told by three different schools that times have changed and is not a big deal. I agree it is definitely rude but a lot of society no longer agrees. Etiquette in general is disappearing and people don’t seem to care who they offend.
I stopped going to a place because a guy was always wearing his fuck Trudeau shirt, hat and had flags and decals on his car. His wife would also wear fuck Trudeau shirts and hats on occasion. They would also come with their grandkids every so often. It was a family friendly restaurant and they just loved the attention even if it was negative
Strange how they preach against indoctrination in school but yet they're indoctrinating their grandkids to hate.
Their politics are their only piece of identity, which is ironic as they’re the same ones to gripe about “identity politics” when LGBT+ people just try to be ourselves, or when anyone just tries to be themselves
He’s likely doing it for reactions like the one he’s getting here! If he’s not giving any craps about what other people think about it, why waste the energy caring (and giving him the satisfaction of a reaction he’s likely looking for)? At the end of the day people are allowed to wear whatever they want whether anyone else likes their choices in clothing or not, so I would just do your best to go about your day ignoring it & enjoying your day.
This is exactly what’s happening. Stop giving these people sooo much attention that’s what they want. The fact that they showed offence and then posted about it is exactly what the guy wanted. The people on here constantly complaining about them are just as annoying as the f Trudeau crowd.
r/BoomersBeingFools
one of the dads at my brothers high school grad was wearing an f trudeau shirt…….like you don’t wanna dress nice for your daughters graduation?????? just wanna rage bait???????
That's his entire personality. Someone like him would probably confront someone wearing a shirt with "fcuk *insert his name".
You could consider the option of getting an F F Trudeau shirts shirt.
I semi agree with you and him at dinner tho i would say it was in poor taste. But I also think the awareness is warranted I myself am no fan of Trudeau but i dont have a "F Trudeau" sticker or anything. but in light of all the political none sense out there i think this is the least of our worries.
These guys have the personality of someone wearing those “boob” hats from the early 80s.
Yes. Finest shirt in his wardrobe.
