Cancel Culture is the Worst. I thought Republicans are against that.

    Assuming slide is legit because "the blaze", why do cons hate capitalism and private enterprise?

    If I don't like the actions, service, product, or policies of a private enterprise I am free to not buy anything from them. Welcome to how capitalism works.

    Good to know that you're ok with the president bullying free enterprise if you disagree with said enterprise's views, instead of remaining impartial and representing all of America's interests.

    It's implied if you're posting a defense of the original tweet using an article critical of the company's policy.

    If not, why post a decision that is irrelevant to POTUS's actions?

    Pretty easy considering every single one of these companies absolute dogshit. Shop brands that don't need to be Woke For Profit and you'll get better products. A perfect example is Harley Davidson, which hasn't even produced a motorcycle in America in YEARS and the motorcycles they produce are so objectively bad on every single measure of performance you'd be stupid to buy. Michelin tires are lightyears ahead of goodyear garbage. Have fun sorting through thousands of blackhat SEO'd Chinese products on Amazon to find the good one you actually need.

    If this is all I have to boycott to make a change this is peak slacktivism. I don't use anything here anyway!

    We don't live in a libertarian paradise and this isn't "free enterprise". This is discriminatory (banning White Lives Matter or Blue Lives Matter) and could likely open them up to legal hot water with existing discrimination law. If you don't believe banning clothing with "White Lives Matter" on it is discrimination the answer is simple - you don't believe white lives actually matter. See, the discrimination case writes itself. The power of highly manipulative "feel good" movement names!

    The President should be promoting American business as part of "promoting America's interests" and staying clear of debating their actions unless the corporate activities impact national security.

    I... as an individual however.... am free to make my own decisions if I desire to support a business.

    Just make up your mind already, Cancel culture is either good or it's not, what's with your selective principles.

    Don't need a lecture about how you are the victim, just accept that you Cons love cancel culture and stop playing holier than thou.

    Well, I guess in the future companies are not going to be stupid enough to antagonize half of their customer base taking sides in an unwinnable political position. It is extremely stupid for companies to go loonie liberal and it needed to be stopped.
