To demonize those who didn't fit the same political views. I am actually disgusted with what this country has become. People shop at places, eat at places solely because of their political beliefs. This is a form of balkanization, and for thus of us in the Psychology and Sociology field this is very toxic for society. The CEO of Home depot supported Trump and even donated to his campaign, but hell, i still shop there. Why? Because I like their fucking products. Unless a company is literally sacrificing human beings, I don't see a reason to boycott them or some sort of shit like that.
Any authoritarian state does this, not just the former USSR. North Korea and WW2 Germany all did this.
Our history of mistreatment of minorities is long, but it does contain the same elements of scapegoating and vilification. We are only better because we also have the opportunity to stand up to this brand of politics. It is why we have a better society today than 200 years ago. But today one man is trying to turn back the clock.
The days of separate lunch counters need to stay in the past. "otherism" is not politics, it is vile. Red Hen did the right thing. Yes we should boycott any company that would coddle such a vile human. If you rightfully call Trump a "cocksnot" then you should understand why his tactics are dangerous, not only to civility, but freedom.
Native Americans, blacks, women and gays all fought and even in many cases died and got arrested to climb to a level of equality. To coddle Sarah's insecurity while she supports a man whom uses the tactics you RIGHTFULLY described above, is not protecting free speech, it is paving a dangerous road and normalizing him.
He is not a private citizen, he cannot behave like Jerry Springer or Rush Limbaugh or Bill Marher in office. It is his roll to be a diplomat, it is not the same roll a private citizen has in being the critic or blasphemer of government.
No President in my 51 years, Republican or Democrat has ever behaved on a daily basis in such a vile manor.
NOBODY should put up with a western leader who uses scapegoating and vilifying not only entire races and religions and nationalities, but whom has also vilified political rivals even within his own party, one who vilifies the watchdog press and even his own intel.
YES Red Hen did the right thing, and thank you for pointing out Home Shitpo, I will be avoiding them as well.
