These morons don’t even know the difference between “less” and “fewer”.

    There’s a quote in the article, that I’m not going to take the time to copy verbatim, that highlights the problem with bullshit like this. Someone that shared the billboards did so while claiming that mainstream media was covering it up. They (MAGAts) don’t care that everyone from Springfield, OH is saying that it didn’t happen. They don’t care that the moderator fact checked Trump about it last night. They all think it’s part of some grand (replacement) conspiracy where literally anyone who refutes the bullshit is part of the deep state.

      Well yeah, they just don’t give a shit. It’s sensational things that immigrants did, who cares that there’s a ton of evidence they didn’t do it.

    If I won the lottery, I’d buy so many billboard slots…

    No attacks or calls to action. Just pictures of Trump, a quote from Trump, and a citation of where/when Trump said it.

      Ackshusally, they are suggesting you eat less of the kittens you consume.
      They aren’t advocating for saving the kittens, they would just like for people to waste more of the kittens they eat.

    You guys never seen a Chick-fil-A billboard. That’s what is being parodied here and why they use “less” instead of “fewer”. I was surprised to see multiple people comment on that.

        The schtick is that the cows write the advertisement saying things like “Eet mor chikin” (instead of burgers, which are cows), and it’s spelled wrong because they’re cows. Chick-fil-A sells mainly chicken.

        I’m all for criticizing idiocy where it’s due, but in this case it was likely done intentionally.

      Unfortunatley, living in AZ (much like FL) makes it really hard to differentiate between real headlines and Onion headlines sometimes.

    Really, this looks like self parody and maybe self harm. Anybody who’s not already a True Believer is going to look at that and lose control of their vehicle laughing their ass off.

    I’m not seeing any confirmation that these billboards are in fact real other than the Arizona Republican party says so
