I suppose that I shouldn’t be surprised given Gina What’s-Her-Name from the Star Wars show. They're comparing themselves to European Jews being hunted by Nazi's, FFS. 

100%. It’s like the people dying of COVID who won’t acknowledge that fact--admitting they got taken for a ride is the fate worse than death.

I’ve been told, and have read quite a few comments, that these were “UNDERCOVER ANTIFA AND DEEP STATE ACTORS”, but I can’t really believe that anyone who hears that excuse actually believes the person making that claim. Are they trying to cover their ass because they’re too embarrassed to admit that they would rather…

Or as Trump would call them, ME!

And yet they had money to travel to DC to try to fuck some shit up.

Nothing will ever produce more cognitive dissonance for me than people who felt left behind by the economic recovery under Obama and who complain about “the coastal elites” turning to a New York “billionaire” to solve their problems.

Yup. the MAGA fascist movement is not one made of toothless yokels from the Florida swamps. It’s middle class, Christian, and overwhelmingly white. The same demographic that is losing cultural and economic ground yearly.

I’ve seen some quotes from some of the more odious GOP members.  I don’t think it would matter who the insurrectionists might have killed.  They are still saying they would prosecute the insurrectionists, but that they weren’t spurred on by trump, that he wanted them to protest peacefully.  Funny though, how it wasn’t…

To the modern republican, everyone is dispensable, except for trump. He is both the glue that holds the whole thing together and the reason the thing itself exists..

Researchers have also found that many of the Capitol insurgents were CEOs, business owners, doctors, lawyers, IT specialists and people who hold other white-collar jobs. Many of the insurgents were also members or ex-members of the military and law enforcement.

Honestly, I’m beginning to think that the only thing that would make republican members of the Senate take this seriously is if the mob had gotten to and killed someone like Romney or Pence.

Imagine their outrage if, for example, a president spent four years trash talking people on social media. Oh, the accountability they would demand!

The more I think about it the more I wonder if this could backfire. i.e., if... pillows become politicized (why not, it happened to masks) I could see MAGA weirdos rushing to purchase My Pillow crap, similar to the supposed bump Goya got when their CEO showed off his crazy.

Yeah, this is the part that I’m having a hard time with. While you could argue that Hogg is keeping his gun-control activism separate from his pillow business, he has been presenting his business as if it is some sort of righteous cause, which is what is bothering a lot people, I think. Mike Lindell has become a…

exactly, and the fact that he’s engaging with the mypillow creep (I resent knowing his name) is the problem itself. hogg is directly responding to lindell’s evil bullshit with ‘action’ that doesn’t even make sense... it looks so petty.

I’ve read the other comments and I appreciate the nuances of what people here are saying, but I have to point out that choosing to start a business for the purpose of trolling someone else is not a terribly sound business strategy especially if you’re a first timer.

I don’t understand the thinking here. Like, I’m all for clowning on Lindell, and especially for targeting his pockets, but this Good Pillow thing falls somewhere between “dumb” and “cash grab”.

Why does it matter? The point is no matter what career path someone chooses, they deserve a safe and healthy work environment.

You could ask any struggling actor, ballerina, or musician the same question. Their passion isnt to be a cog in the machine, its to act or dance or play clarinet or, in this case, cheer. And I do get it. I was never a cheerleader, but I acted for years. I never got anywhere and I can count the number of times I was…
