People, please put your money where your mouth is

In the past few months — since the covid-19 pandemic really got a foothold in the world and U.S., causing numerous lockdowns, shutdowns, stay-at-home orders, etc. — there have been a ton of memes on social media from people (mostly those who identify as “conservatives”) complaining about how the shutdown is hurting “main street small businesses. Now as the U.S. slowly “opens up” I’m seeing, from pretty much the same group of people, memes urging us in this country to “buy American” rather than (for example) labels marked “Made in China.”
