Say anything at all positive about Pres. Trump and there are deranged, radical celebrities who will actually try to start a boycott movement against you.
Chrissy Teigen is pushing a boycott of Goya Foods after the company’s CEO praised President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday. Hamilton star Lin-Manuel Miranda and actor John Leguizamo echoed her calls to boycott the maker of Latino food products.
Goya CEO Robert Unanue spoke during a Rose Garden event where President Trump signed an executive order on his Hispanic Prosperity Initiative.
“Mr. President, what can I tell you? I’m so blessed to be here in the most prosperous country in the world, the greatest country in the world. And we’re so blessed to have you as our leader, as we continue to build this country and make it the most prosperous nation in the world,” Unanue said.
His remarks set off a wave of social media outrage, with calls to boycott Goya products under the hashtag #Goyaway. Politicians including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and former Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro are joining the demand for consumers to dump Goya.
Chrissy Teigen helped lead the charge, saying that she was through with buying Goya. “Don’t care how good the beans taste though. Bye bye,” she tweeted.

Remember how BDS was considered to be anti-Semitic even though their reasons for the boycott against Israel are founded far more in the reality of an unjust setup and situation..?
I'd suggest that this movement itself is also fundamentally biased and bigoted towards Christians conservatives as a group.

Like I've been saying about the bullybois in here at RHP, it's all about controlling
free speech. Free speech is punished when you say something that contras
their ideology.
In RHP as in real life, bullybois call people they disagree with, "racists".
I've seen that tactic pulled in RHP as in real life, many a time.
Yes, from the people of the party of "tolerance", "inclusion" and "diversity".
Very sad that I forgot to enter the title of the thread -- sorry, guys!

Yeah man, I agree, and every country that is not totally inundated in this absuridty yet has to fight like warriors to keep it to coming into their nations.
Once it does, the marketplace of ideas goes right out the window and it is impossible to actually have any kind of democracy.
It becomes mob rule.
@Philokalia
Bang on, Phil. And sonhouse, in another thread is calling America a banana Republic.
I wish that is as far as it went! It's becoming a gulag, for cripes'sake.
Addressing Leftists:
Ask yourself this, leftist... How would you feel if a company CEO praising
America and President Obama resulted in a mass boycott of his company?
You can't even picture that, can you?? that's right
That is because conservative people respect your right to free speech.
There are times we do not like what you say, but goddamit, we'll fight for
your right to say it!!
You're damn right I'm proud to be a conservative and a far better person.

Here's some boycotts right wingers called for in 2017: https://www.businessinsider.com/conservatives-boycott-brands-keurig-nfl-starbucks-2017-11#nfl-1
So you are either deliberately ignorant or an out and out phony. Right wingers call for politically motivated boycotts all the time. https://www.thedailybeast.com/all-the-things-you-can-no-longer-buy-if-youre-a-true-maga-trump-fan
BTW, calling for a boycott IS free speech - a concept you seem very confused about.
If a businessman wants to come out and make politically motivated endorsements, then he should accept that some consumers might find that objectionable and decide not to spend their dollars accordingly.
@philokalia saidWhat utter rubbish.

I don't know how to describe the sheer stupidity of extolling the "marketplace of ideas" by whining that people might use that "marketplace" to extol their own ideas about where to spend money.
Do you guys even think before you write?
@philokalia saidOh, please!

What in the hell does this have to do with Christian conservatives?
Freakin' snowflakes. "Deranged". "Radical".
Don't worry, Trump will throw you fools under the bus, too, just as soon as he can't use you to prop up his failed presidency any longer.
I can't find the thread now (perhaps it was expunged), but one of the right wingers here was citing a Breitbart article that claimed Nike's loss of revenue was because of their relationship with Colin Kaepernick. The claim is dubious but I do not recall Earl or Philo thunderously defending Nike's "freedom of speech" nor condemning those who called for a boycott of Nike.
EDIT: Here's the Breitbart article which features a photo of Kaepernick: https://www.breitbart.com/news/nike-reports-790-mn-q4-loss-as-sales-plunge-on-covid-19-hit/

If this was a playground I'd have kicked all of you into separate pens adjacent to each other. Then all the other kids might get a few ball games going in the main area.
Are you really so obsessed with this stuff that you can't see how crazy and stupid this ideological war is? Meanwhile, around you, the world is happening, life is happening, people are happy or sad or hungry or celebrating or dying or inspiring others.
Give us all a break. Please.
@kewpie saidYou can take a break from ideological discussions any time you want; "Posers and Puzzles" "Culture" "Technology" etc. etc. etc. are that way.

Scolding people for debating in a Debates thread is beyond foolish.

I love "beyond foolish". Is that the place called "here be dragons"?
@kewpie saidThe Posting Guidelines prevent me from telling you the place I would suggest you go IF the actual discussion of ideological issues in the Debates forum bothers you that much.

If I was in a position of influence I would do anything I could, within the law, to remove Trump from power.
@philokalia saidwhat did your conservative friends try to do when Nike signed Kaepernick? How many dumbasses destroyed their Keurig coffee machines and vowed not to buy another one?

Was that "cancel culture? Or are you being a hypocrite right now, a fact you will never admit? Is it a peaceful protest when conservatives scream they won't buy Nikes (as if someone gives a flying copulation about it) but cancel culture when others do it?
Will you get how hypocritical you are now or will it fly over your head like all the other instances we called you and your buddies on you bullcrap?
