Apparently "Merry Coffee" is offensive because it looks a lot like "Christmas" without actually saying it. Conservatives were outraged in 2015 by the plain red Starbucks cups and again in 2016 by the green "Unity" cups. Do you agree or disagree?

Getting all worked up over a paper coffee cup design at Christmas...
And they call us snowflakes.
They look fine to me. But then again I never thought they were offensive to begin with.
(That being said I am not really a Starbucks customer, been there three or four times...there is a local coffee shop I much prefer, if going out to get coffee....I usually brew coffee at home, tastes just as good, much cheaper.)

I don’t buy that hyper expensive garbage Starbucks sells. So I don’t care.

I think it's cute, and I'm a Republican. And Jewish.

The point isn't whether or not you shop at Starbucks. The point is a group of people offended by a coffee cup.

Name one.

You people ran out of issues years ago.

And the only ones who don't realize it, are yourselves.

OP, you don't know a damn thing about conservatives. Most of us have something called a job, as well as a life and real responsibilities. We don't have time or energy to get worked up over such petty nonsense. You are delusional.

You all can shoot the messenger because you don't like the message, but the OP used an article/link from your
very own Foxnews.

I didn't see anyone upset or triggered. All I saw was a few people saying the whole thing was silly!


Libs on the other hand would have trashed the place, rioted, blocked traffic, assaulted people and burned flags.
