Really funny how they always talk about cancle culture but they are always the ones calling for boycotting.

[-] Asafum@lemmy.world 68 points 1 year ago

If they didn't have projection, hypocrisy, and a perpetual victim complex would they really be MAGA Republicans anymore?

It's unreal how the "Party of Personal Responsibility" is chock full of people who NEVER accept the consequences of their actions...

[-] Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Jesus, do they call it that? How embarrassing for them. At least own your platform. Call it the party of shouting and hatred or something like that.

[-] mrginger@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

MAGA Republicans I like this term.

I would LOVE to get Philomena Cunk to cover this

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Cunk looking bored while Lindell rants and raves... lots of close-ups of her rolling her eyes... I'd love it.

Well, Jesus was the first victim of cancel culture

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

That's not entirely true. I boycott places I don't agree with all of the time. Be it religious views that affect policy, political views, or a range of others things, there's almost always an alternative that I'd rather give my money to.

Is it a boycott if it's just me participating?

[-] Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 year ago

No, it isn't just you. "Cancel Culture" is another of those pejoritive terms the right is so fond of. Making decisions about where to spend your money based on the behavior of the companies is a one of the few ways we have to influence corporations (and politicians).

The extreme right seems to have given up o boycotts and moved on to direct physical attacks as their preferred methods of influence.

Gaslight, Obstruct, Project. That's the GOP for ya.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
