It's perfectly reasonable for ppl to feel offended by a blatant display like a trump flag.

Only in the minds of his detractors.

I know, right? The owner was just asking for it! Let's report him! Woke scolds won't be satisfied until they shut down all opposing views.

What kind of nutjob does it take to try to destroy someones business over their politics?

I mean seriously, I just go about my life and if the pizza store owner votes differently than me either left or right than so be it.

Now maybe she decides not to go back there which is extreme imo but oh well.

However, trying to organize a boycott\ban is reprehensible.

Again, it's an election year and people are over-immersing in politics. Their own mental problems thus bubble to the surface.

That's pretty much what I said about trying organize a shut down. I'm like who the F does woman think she is. Don't like the Trump flag hit the bricks Nancy.

Again, it say the same about a Biden flag. We still have freedom of speech, for now until the left gets that shutdown too.

Bingo

Do you say the same when trump calls for a boycott? Just curious.

A few posters on here are consistent but most cry foul when the left does it but has no problem with the right doing it.

I'm for the free market. People can spend as they like, and advocate for others to do the same. Everyone is free to make their own choices.

The Left acts like anyone with different ideas, time tested ideas, logical ideas, are horrible people. Meanwhile the far Left behaves horribly.

....and I'm free to have a low opinion of someone that would do that.

Secondly, be specific as to what boycott etc. because I rarely listen to anything Trump even says. If he called for a boycott of someone's store because they had a Biden poster in the window then sure, that's be the same idiocy.

Lastly, I never voted for Trump and never will. I find it amusing that someone as partisan as you would try to swing around accusations of unfair treatment at almost anybody with that log in your eye.
