    Is that what they're trying to do to Bud Light right now?

    Oh, ok. I thought you were talking about specific people. You were just talking about 'them'.

    DeSaster is absolutely brain dead in terms of the battles he picks. Disney and now Bud Light, as in brewed by Anheuser-Busch, as in Busch Gardens fame. I think maybe our governor was molested at an amusement park when he was kid, possibly by someone in drag.

    Your lack of intelligent response, other than to defect to memes, or questions of who I choose to place on ignore, speaks loudly to your reliance on those pathetic sources.

    Counter cancel culture baby.

    Mutually assured destruction.

    Also, calling to boycott an organization based on an ad that alienates customers isn't quite the same as boycotting an organization because the organization's founder has opinions on things, and distances those opinions from the product itself that the customers see.

    Bud Light will be just fine. I remember when the righties thought they were going to shut down Nike over Colin Kaepernick. A bunch of red faces to go with their red necks.

    I see. Right wing cancel culture is righteous and left wing cancel culture isn't. Thanks for the clarity.

    You are getting it! Boycotts are good if I agree with them. ;)

    (But if I'm being serious, I continue to have no objections to "cancel culture" as a general concept or boycotts. That's free speech. If some Republicans want to boycott Bud Light, that's their right.)

    Its just a microcosm of "our Authoritarianism is good, yours is bad."

    Again, refusing to do business with a company who actively chose to tie their product to politics is not exactly the same as conspiring to take a business down just because the owner has opinions unrelated to the business you disagree with. This is all regarding cultural standards of course, because the First Amendment only restricts the government from punishing speech, not private individuals unaffiliated with the government.

    Also, fighting cancel culture with cancel culture is an effective way of ending cancel culture. "If everyone's cancelled, nobody is." :D

    I'll assume that you're telling the truth that you're a "man without a party." Consider one reason that this is the case is because your prevailing philosophy:
    1. Lets any authoritarian-leaning party walk all over you legally and culturally, basically stripping you of any influence you might've wanted.
    2. It lacks any solid vision for how we should be as a culture, and really a country.

    I'm a fiscal conservative, small govt, freedom guy. The Republican party is 0/3 on those things as it is now, unless it involves gun rights.

    At least the Democrat party supports social freedoms (as long as it doesn't hurt me I don't care what adults do) That makes them 1/3 on what I want. As for now that's my only realistic option to vote for.

    So yes, a man without a party

    Well, considering the state of Florida literally ordered the bar that I own closed for covid, I don't think your question is gonna go the way you'd like.
