I’m just waiting for a Republican to come out and just say, “reading is for liberals.” Because you know it’s coming.
They already are. What do you think their War On Education over the last 40 years is about. Dumb illiterate peasants believe whatever they’re told.
Yup, looks like the long game is to keep them uneducated, pissed off and armed to the teeth.
They say it now just not publicly.
I strongly believe it.
Our customer service (CS) department has a HQ in a red state, they manage all the Customer Service nationwide. They report to my boss and have these “huddle” meetings where the CS managers (of which there are at least 30+ people) share ideas. Other department leads/managers can join. I used to sit in as a engineer manager, so I can under understand problems from customers. But now I sit in to eat popcorn.
The CS leads are definitely conservatives. And These huddles are full of really stupid takes.
One of the takes was where someone recommended training resources and another mockingly said, “Read a book? What do you think this is, a school?”
idiot corporate managers who insist on the word ‘huddle’ instead of ‘meeting’. Ugh.
Kinda used to all the corpo lingo. I’m pretty sure I’m one of those bad business folks you take out in a cyberpunk game
Remember to stand still facing windows and walls, walk/stand under heavy but precariously-placed objects, things like that ^.^
Another conservative tantrum, yet somehow everyone else is a snowflake.
Isn’t it understood that their every act is a projection?
Yes but it should also be stated
It’s ALWAYS projection with these assholes.
EVERY TIME.
“Froot loops were once part of a balanced breakfast”
Ummm… No. No, they never were.
Part of “a complete breakfast” and the commercial would show the bowl of cereal with like eggs and fruit and a ton of other shit. Like your 7 year old ordered room service at the Hilton before he’s late to Show and Tell.
A very small part. Like all the sugar you’d need for the day part.
…if you were doing CrossFit for 12 hours.
The day? More like the week.
So are they gonna go after Dolly Parton next for mailing
woke-leftist indoctrination propagandachildren’s books out to kids on a monthly basis?They’re conservatives, so more than likely.
They can try… But Dolly Parton is a living national treasure. Going after her would cause their hearts to implode and they know it.
In Other News: Conservatives hate dancing and music.
… But they absolutely love booze.
My friend got married in a conservative little Washington town near the Canadian border. When planning the wedding, they were told that city ordinance allowed them to choose either alcohol or music at the reception, but not both.
We ended up drinking and making Footloose jokes all night.
The Republicans in Washington tend to not care much about vices. They were gone legalizing weed. You go down to the Deep South and they hate booze so much that they have dry counties.
One of which has the Jack Daniels distillery smack-dab in the middle of it. Better yet, they have a legal loophole just for the gift shop.
Moore County, where the Jack Daniel’s distillery is located, is one of the state’s many dry counties. While it is legal to distill the product within the county, it is illegal to purchase it there.[60][failed verification] However, a state law has provided one exception: a distillery may sell one commemorative product, regardless of county statutes.[61] Jack Daniel’s now sells Gentleman Jack, Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel, the original No. 7 blend (in a commemorative bottle), and a seasonal blend (on rotation) at the distillery’s White Rabbit Bottle Shop.
While I upvoted for your spirit, most of the folks I make a living from as a basshole have red hats at home. They fuckin’ love good live music if you separate them from Trump’s diaper for a minute.
We are a lefty-as-fuck folk trio, and our elephant-flavored fans listen, dance, and usually keep their treason to themselves. They get real quiet when we sing about Sporkfoot, though… 🤷♂️
A shocking number of GOPers love leftist music. Remember when Rand Paul said his favorite band was Rage Against The Machine?
Swamy wouldn’t have rapped if he wasn’t an Eminem fan
I doubt he’s listened to any of the more recent songs. Em comes out swinging in favor of gun control and apologizes to Kim and his mom and talks about his feelings. Oh, and that he hates Trump.
It occurred to me the other day, he was pretty ahead of the curve on talking about his feelings. Beautiful straight opens up with him saying he’s depressed. It’s ironic, but Eminem was ahead of the curve on men starting to talk about their emotions. Maybe that’s true of musicians in general though.
I agree, IMO he’s just another hopeful politician awkwardly entice a “new” demographic
Edit- and failing, I’m enjoying the failing aspect
Every time a brand falls onto the “socially conservative ban list” I just cackle evilly.
Yes. The death by a thousand cuts is very fitting for these people who seem to lack critical thinking skills and won’t learn.
It’s almost like people think children need to know how to be decent human beings and they know that some parents will refuse to teach that skill.
It’s almost as if…as if society at large has already decided that the “status quo” they are vehemently defending needs to die. It’s like society has decided people need to be better. So that we don’t like; kill each other off stupidly over stupid fucking bullshit in stupid wars like stupid idiots being stupidly fucking greedy and unrelenting.
I laugh even more when they buy that product too show themselves shooting it/burning it/ or otherwise getting rid of it via some video on social media.
I highly doubt Kellogg’s cares if someone buys 5 boxes of Froot Loops because they want to eat them or use them for target practice to prove how MAGA they are. Kellogg’s has their money either way.
who the fuck cares what they boycott
Shareholders. Fuck them, by the way.
im pretty sure the boycotts are just free advertising
Ya, the shareholders care and are in favour
They probably have shares in other cereals as well.
Probably the same people who care what you boycott.
At this point, I’m surprised these morons aren’t launching homemade missiles at the sky to try and stop actual rainbows.
Funnily enough, every year in early July they go nuts launching Chinese-made missiles at the sky to CREATE rainbows.
Shhh don’t give them any ideas!
Huh. I never really noticed they spelled it “Froot” before. Weird.
What, did you think there was actual fruit in it?
The TV commercial told me it was part of a balanced and healthy breakfast!
In the 80s, according to the commercials, that was cereal, fruit, toast, juice and milk. What kid could have all that for breakfast unless servings were all doll-sized?
Wait until you realise that chocolatey creme likely contains no chocolate or cream.
Chocolatey creme?
Why call it fruit if it doesn’t have it?
Alright. That’s even dumber than the beer thing a while ago. Let me try to guess what’s next.
Bacon. You see, more and more people from Muslim families say „fuck it“ and try out bacon. Conservatives, with that giant hole in their heads, will demand from the manufacturers to not sell bacon to muslims and ex muslims. The manufacturers will say „whatever“ and so the boycott starts. It will last for like 5 days and bacon sales will rise in the meantime.
If this doesn’t happens in the next two years, I will open and moderate a furry community.
I think you’re a furry because Muslims aren’t going to start eating pork in large numbers. However, what if they found a way to turn pigs gay?
So when you open your community, what’s it going to be named?
It had better be baconpromise.
Edit: “I had…” makes no sense.
Noted.
Why wait two years? Be satisfied if your own skin, even if it has fur on the outside!

“The Froot Loops are turning the frickin frogs GAY” – US Conservatives probably
Sounds more like Dig’em than Froot Loops to me.
Standing against things rather than for things.
American Froot Loops have such vibrant colors. Wtf.
That is because the US does not have as strict regulations regarding food colorings. Colors that Europe ban are all good in the US.
It’s all the forever chemicals we allow in our food probably.
Meanwhile I thought they were boycotting because the Fruit Loops are the colors of “the gays” /s
Conservative boycotts seem to be a dime a dozen, then everything goes back to normal because some manufactured moral outrage doesn’t really matter.
Looks like I’m buying Fruit Loops. 😝
