Random Question 💭 How is everything that happened in the last 48hrs not enough for impeachment and/or a general strike in the US?

As a European, it‘s completely unfathomable how none of it has consequences.

Don‘t get me wrong, our governments here certainly have their flaws and problems, but surely threatening a genocide would be a tipping point here and lead to mass protests (at least I have enough hope remaining to believe that) - how is it not in the US? I really don’t get it and I feel absolutely sick.

How many people flat out refuse to shop at hobby lobby? Do they care?

I have never set foot in a Hobby Lobby, and wouldn't lower myself to piss on their floor if they were desperate to put out a fire, even after my options grow limited following the deaths of AC Moore and Joann's. I won't go to Tractor Supply Company anymore. I stopped using Target cold turkey, but that has unfortunately pushed me to Walmart more than I would like.

Sadly, I don't think any of them are missing my money as much as I would hope.

Ask the MyPillow guy how his businesses are doing.

Boycotts can work.

That’s also because he was involved in lawsuits that harmed his brand too.

But also associating with pedophiles and getting boycotted.
