The Unsilenced Majority: Conservatives 'punch back' against cancel culture, corporate 'wokeism'

Something that he did...on the job.

Again, the post wasn't about his job or how he did it, it was about how some of a particular political ideology reacted to something he did before work.

That's a rather significant distinction. If every time I went to the movie theater, the projectionist came down in front of the audience and said...

Another case of a post making up an unrelated example rather than talking about what actually happened. One wonder why such tactics are needed.

He did it at work...in uniform...

As for political ideology....the Olympics committee thinks that political demonstrations ruin the point of sports bringing together all people of all backgrounds...and they've banned BLM clothing.

I'm curious what political ideology you think is behind this.

It's an analogy. You have a right to demonstrate and protest....but not on the job.

I can always tell I've made a good point when a reply has to change the subject less than 10 words into that post. But hey, whatever it takes to get to alt-right talking points, I guess.

The post being replied to doesn't talk about why Kaepernick isn't currently playing but instead addresses the behavior of people trying to get him fired for something he said or did. This post doesn't seem to have any actual facts to counter that reality, and instead tries unsuccessfully to change the subject away from that uncomfortable fact.

The post you are talking about did not have any facts to establish that it was credible, so countering facts that do not exist seems unnecessary at best.

Here's just one example of the behavior of people on the right trying to get someone fired for something he said or did : Trump to anthem protesters: 'Get that son of a b---- off the field'

I'd say you could go and check Donald's Twitter account yourself, but it appears he broke enough rules that the account had to be suspended.

What ideology?

The Olympics is "alt-right"?

Trump expressed his opinion but he did not start an economic boycott.

He encouraged an economic boycott -- the only way to say he didn't start one would be to admit he failed.

What ideology?

In this case, the leader of the GOP.

The Olympics is "alt-right"?

Not sure how anyone could believably get that from what I wrote.

At least we've disposed of the falsehood that there was no evidence for my claims. On to the nitpicking and distractions, I guess.

That's a person, not an ideology.

I can get you some definitions if you want.

Well they too have decided against political protests during the Olympics, so they must be of the same ideology you're dancing around.

Jim Bakker: ‘Cancel culture’ is the reason I went to prison

That and being found guilty of 24 counts of fraud and conspiracy.

 

[CreeXPL]

How many of these "Cancel Culture" resisters are on record as having tried to cancel the results of the 2020 election?

There have been efforts to investigate the many inconsistencies that occurred with the election process, but not a "cancelling" of the results. The fact that there has been such intense resistance to the investigations has raised some red flags though.

Fraud and conspiracy got cancelled... I can see why some on the Right are upset.

After January 6, certainly not a successful cancelation.

Indeed -- the GOP is dead set against any investigation... wonder what they're hiding?

TIL that there's never political ideology expressed in statements from the leader of the 2nd most popular political party in the US. It is amazing what one can find on the internet.

Well they too have decided against political protests during the Olympics, so they must be of the same ideology you're dancing around.

I have no idea why you'd conclude that from what I read, and I'm pretty sure it would just make me sad to if the reasoning behind it was explained.

Do we really need to waste money on the investigation of a tour group when inflation is destroying the economy under Biden?

Just tell them it's another Benghazi investigation. They'll sign the papers (and probably vote for an execution) without bothering to read them.

Oooh, that's right, might even get 3 or 4 investigations out of it.

I think he was referring to the investigations meant to look into whether or not their was election fraud (one being the recounting of ballots). The Democrats have resisted allowing things like this. If they would at least stand back and allow such investigations, it would be a show of transparency.
