    I’m just waiting for a Republican to come out and just say, “reading is for liberals.” Because you know it’s coming.

      That factored into the reason for Froot Loops doing it I’m sure. “Crazies will boycott which results in free advertising”

    “Froot loops were once part of a balanced breakfast”

    Ummm… No. No, they never were.

    Another perfect example of how conservatives are trash. How is anyone actually friends with anyone who supports the Republican party? I would be absolutely disgusted being around them.

    They are fruity, rainbow colored, AND they let kids read things that haven’t been vetted by MTG and the leader of the Proud Boys?

    Holy shit how has the offense to our freedoms, the danger to our children, and the disdain for proper god-fearing Americans perpetuated by Froot Loops been allowed to continue for so long!!??

    So are they gonna go after Dolly Parton next for mailing woke-leftist indoctrination propaganda children’s books out to kids on a monthly basis?

      They can try… But Dolly Parton is a living national treasure. Going after her would cause their hearts to implode and they know it.

      … 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?

            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.

    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.

    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.
