    Yes you are. Just not directly. You're asking that everyone recognizes how good your opinion is.

    The very act of posting in a political thread is virtue signaling

    Regardless of a person's priorities, the wall accomplishes very little in actual results. We've already seen it will be ineffectual in keeping people from crossing physically. So that's out - even if your priority is as simpleton as "keep 'dem illegals out!".

    And then, in literally every other category, the wall only hurts the United States. In. Every. Single. Category.

    Well yeah, muh has no substance so your opinion doesn't mean anything. I know you'll say mine doesn't either, but who quoted who first?

    Is it really that far-fetched that the company (or at least the leadership) is also legitimately opposed to the wall?
    There are better people to try and take care of this issue.
    I would think actually the best approach would be a composition of political organizations, private companies, and individual citizens expressing opposition.

    Sounds like a waste of money. The wall is never going to be built.

    They can be, but is it really so hard to ask that a company stay out of politics and just make a fun game? A political organization and/or citizens make more sense than a card company trying to do this since in the end, they're just going to take it back anyway.

    Looks like it's sold out at the moment though, if you wanted to get in on it.
    Won't it be funny when the Federal government seizes the land?

    I mean, this is the same company that spent $100,000 digging a hole for no reason, sold 30,000 bags of bull feces for $6 each, and sold 11,700 units of literally nothing for $5 each. It's hijinks, not serious political statements. That it's actually getting a few people so worked up is probably half of the fun.

    How so, given that is exactly what they're counting on? You know you can legally challenge eminent domain, right? Which is actually their stated goal? To make this as obnoxious and expensive for the federal government as possible, not actually prevent the wall from getting built.

    Either way is likely a wash, as the chances of Trump getting his big beautiful finished wall at the end of his Presidency are negligible.

    To be fair the game is about being an obnoxious or offensive dick, so you could argue they're just being true-to-form.

    Messing with the potus isn't hijinx. I'd have the same problem if obama wanted to build something and the alt right bought land so he couldn't.

    I played it myself and I don't think any card combo made me feel more than "yowza"

    Doesn't matter how much you want to twist yourself into a knot trying to get around it but you are virtue signaling all the same. Maybe lay off the totes woke independent cliches and say something of Substance™ yo. Also this is boring now. Cya nerd

    Ad hom on shit I've never said and run, huh? What were you saying about rational discourse again? Cause you're the only one in this thread who hasn't done that.

    Yeah, but you get my point, the game isn't built around toeing the line or operating within 'societal norms', so its not a stretch for the company itself to behave in a similar manner.

    I haven't seen this amount of projecting in awhile, jeez. If you can't handle somebody's opinion, i think you should take the day off the internet.

    The game yeah, but I still would expect some professionalism from a company. Light hearted stuff is fine, but defying a president is a little too much.
