Because despite popular belief, the left has never been good at cancel culture. That’s always been a right-wing thing. And they are aware of that. So I’m sure they were shocked that the left could boycott in an effective way like the right has in the past.
Just look at the Charlie Kirk aftermath. How many people lost their jobs because they showed the wrong emotion and posted about it? I haven’t heard of a single person on the right fired for threatening retaliatory violence.
I come from a family of MAGAts and when they’re angry at something they make sure everyone knows it. They boycott aggressively, tell all their friends and family to do the same and they do not let up.
My friends and fiancee are really, really bad about these things in comparison. I’m sure our canceled subscriptions will be back in 3-4 months.
That’s the thing that actively pisses me off the most. The right has been fucking monsters when it comes to their reactions to violence like that. Absolute, psychopathic, proudly hypocritical monsters, willing to joke about an elderly man being assaulted in his home because he happened to be the husband of a Democrat. And silence when asked about whether urging their sick followers to commit violence might be leading their sick followers to commit violence.
And the murders that took place in Minnesota a few months ago? Jokes and silence there, too.
But a late-night comedian says something that isn’t even disrespectful or in any way condones violence, just acknowledges the kind of person Kirk was… and they lose their fucking minds.
Always remember this, folks: It’s all performative. They don’t actually care. They know Kimmel didn’t say a goddamn thing that could be interpreted as support for violence. They know.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
I live in a red state. I’m constantly surrounded by pro-slavery confederate flags, open threats of violence in the form of punisher and 2A bumper stickers, and then direct calls for violence against all of “the left”.
I’ve never considered calling their employers just to see which ones are okay with terroristic threats.
Live in a red town and also been seeing 3%’er and “shoot your local pedophile” window stickers a lot lately. The amount of murder fetishization over on that side of the aisle is sickening.

Though only tangentially related, the fact that this man still has a job tells you everything you need to know about these alleged “conservative values”. (like so many countless examples before)

Can’t deny this.

How many jokes did I hear about Nancy Pelosi’s husband?

Time to tap the “Wilhoit’s Law” sign again:
The hypocrisy is central to the brand.
And it came from the highest level - Orange Jesus cracked some “jokes” about it. So did his son.
Kirk himself said “some patriot should go bail that guy out” or something similar.
I would so love to see some of them actually lose their fucking jobs for the death threats they made right after Kirk getting popped.

If you see the “shoot your local pedophile” sticker tell them suicide isn’t a good option and they should get therapy
by “shoot your local pedophile” clearly they meant “make a pedophile the president”.
They mean to shoot with a bigass paparazzi style camera.
Well, he’s not local.
