"Everyone" knows??? SJW boycott leftists? Posting this when the Republican president has mastered boycotting and attempted destruction of private citizens and corporations based on hurt feelings? Only conservatives are permitted to speak?

C'mon! Nonsensical.

Can't change a light bulb? It is extremely unreasonable to draw and propagate a universal conclusion about leftists based on a hastily concocted idea about a skill set that has nothing to with being advocates for civil rights, the environment and social equality for all citizens.

BTW while we are at it...social justice protection and promotion is not a bad thing. That label is a compliment, not offensive. Those who wear it wonder why "everyone" isn't championing and defending their own right to political and social freedom and equality.

The hypocrite in chief has called for multiple boycotts over the years. You trumpees just can't stop drinking the Koolaid:

Melania , Uday, and Qusay also tweeted out calls to boycott Nordstrom after they dropped Ivanka's clothing line.

There are some product I refuse to buy. Some from companies and a few from other countries. I don't consider it a "boycott" I consider it a choice... a personal choice.

EXACTLY!!! For example, I will NEVER purchase another Samsung product. We're getting $50 from a class action lawsuit over exploding top loaders. Just last night I cussed them again. Three freaking hours to wash 1 set of king size sheets is asinine. Oh and they don't want me to wash them on normal setting, or bedding setting, it's suppose to be on delicates (yes the one you wash lingerie or sweaters on).


There was even a while that both sides of our family stopped going to a specific restaurant until they re-trained their entire staff. You don't hold a tray full of hot food over a 2 week old baby.

I've stopped buying Chinese stuff wherever possible, and it doesn't have anything to do with HD or Trump for that matter.

Nike, the sporting goods store that stopped selling some kind of gun and got everyone in a tiff.

You are joking of course.

Blowing up Yeti,
refusing to watch NFL,
Amazon,
Starbucks,
Dicks
Nike
Nordstrom
UnderArmour
Addidas
Pepsi
Busch (remember that immigration commercial)

Blah blah blah.

This would not have gotten any traction or attention if the PResident hadn't stepped in it.
