You’re a fool - lmao

 

Explain what makes me a fool. 

 

You love one party and hate for the other when they are pretty much interchangeable and you call me a fool?  Clueless AND a fool.

Is he next Bonnie? You gonna cancel the Governor?

 


Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan wishes all the infighting in the Republican Party would just stop so its members can get back to winning votes. “We’ve got to get back to winning elections again. And we have to be able to have a Republican Party that appeals to a broader group of people,” Hogan, a Republican, said on NBC News’ Meet the Press. “Successful politics is about addition and multiplication, not subtraction and division.” Right now though there is a “battle for the soul of the Republican Party” going on, he added.

 

But he said he recognized many Republicans are afraid of criticizing the former president out of fear that they’ll face “retaliation,” like House Conference Chair Liz Cheney has experienced. “It just bothers me that you have to swear fealty to the dear leader or you get kicked out of the party. It just doesn’t make any sense,” Hogan said. “It’s sort of a circular firing squad where we’re just attacking members of our own party instead of focusing on solving problems, or standing up and having an argument, that we can debate the Democrats on some of the things the Biden administration is pushing through.”

Nike for using Kaepernick in an ad, or when they were throwing their Keurigs out the window because the company pulled their ads from Sean Hannity’s show, or boycotting Busch over an ad about their immigrant founder, or Doritos for releasing limited edition rainbow chips in support of children bullied for their sexual orientation, or Netflix over their Obama deal, or Yeti for dropping the NRA, or the Superbowl over an ad, or Dick's Sporting Goods because they stopped selling assault style weapons, or Air BnB because some resident owners were allowing "refugees" to stay in their homes, or Ben and Jerry's because they said they didn't support the travel ban, or Disney (I can't remember why that one happened, actually... something, something inclusivity?), or Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, Apple, and Instagram (while using these exact platforms to complain) for "silencing conservatives" or having “leftist propagandists” as CEOs, or Kellogg, Johnson & Johnson, and Nestle because they stopped advertising on Breitbart and/or Laura Ingraham's program, or Starbucks because of the “war on Christmas”, or Target because they don't specify what bathroom you must use, and took down the "girls" and "boys" signs by the toys, or Macy’s and Nordstrom’s because they dropped Ivanka Trump’s clothing line (because it wasn’t selling - they weren’t even trying to make a political statement here), or United Airlines, Delta Airlines, REI, Hertz, and Enterprise because they ended their NRA rewards programs, or Amazon because Bezos publicly disapproved of the travel ban, or Marvel because they “promote social justice warriors”, or ESPN because “they should just stick to sports”, 
 

So those complaining about Snow White and Seuss and everything else, just shut up.  You’re idiots, as are those on the far left trying to close down stuff because it may not completely agree with their political views.  These stupid political stunts are exactly that -stupid.

You are missing one key component of my question- the mayor said she fired the cop for doing his job to appease the mob from burnt Ng down the city. When did the right threaten to burn down a city? There is a big difference between not buying products and threatening harm. I will not spend money on the NBA so long as they have players who formally endorse companies that own slaves( Klay Thompson) but I will not burn them to the ground. It is a large difference but you guys keep acting like my not buying Nike is the same as burning down ATL.

My comment was to address in general the lunacy of those on the right to try and make this “woke” stuff a real thing when they participate in the same behavior.  If the right (note I do not call it the Republican Party because there is no such thing anymore) thinks they can really chart a path back to majority rule based on this crap they’re nuts.

 

 I don’t know what you are referring to with the Atlanta situation.  If a policeman lost his job trying to break up a riot that’s wrong.  If you’re trying to bend and twist it into some way to say only the left does this cancel culture mythical crap you’re wrong.  And yes when the extremists on the left do it they’re wrong too.

 

Welcome to capitalism.  Companies will make decisions based on their bottom lines.  If they think adhering to a specific political idea will cost them money, they will change their policies.  Maybe if the political extremes would grow up and realize that they don’t get their way all the time we could get by this crap.

It's a waste of time debating these people - if Trump told them to jump over Niagara Falls - they would.

So you argued against me while having no clue what I was referencing and then when I clarify you still have no idea what I am referencing but your point is right because you are gonna stay ignorant so you can still be right. I will clarify one last time, the straight economic boycott is not what I find particularly objectionable but when it is backed up with the threat of violence if the left does not get its way. And you have proven the right does not do that.

Them why did you respond to my specific post? And why did you respond a second time to my specific post? I accept that neither side is clean or reasonable but the violent threats what bothers me and that is what I am calling out

I did not respond specifically to your first post.  After pages of this crap about how the right is so upset over this cancel culture myth I found what I posted on Google just to show how absurd they are.  Then since you addressed me directly I answered in a second post.  It is not all about you.

So you're saying the cancel culture doesn't exist?

Yes.  It is a stupid, catchy phrase for political horsecrap that the extremes of each party have done for years now.


So you’re saying what we’re seeing here, people losing their livelihoods for having a different opinions, has been going on for years?  You don’t see any more extreme use of the tactic the past 5 or so years? 


Must be nice to be this oblivious to the world around you.
