Theater Of The Absurd: The Same People Who Criticize "Cancel Culture"
Are Demanding Things They Suddenly Don't Like Be "Cancelled"

Does this now mean I have to watch every game?

Donald Trump, July 3, 2020:
One of their political weapons is "cancel culture" . . . shaming dissenters and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees. This is the very definition of totalitarianism, and it is completely alien to our culture and our values, and it has absolutely no place in the United States of America.
No one in the United States has called for more boycotts and demanded more people be fired than Donald Trump. Here is an extremely incomplete list of companies, products, and people he has said should be "cancelled":
Italy
Mexico
Scotland
All products made in China
Amazon
Google
Facebook
Twitter
Macy's
Apple
Goodyear
Glenfiddich Whiskey
Oreos
New Balance
Under Armour
AT&T
T-Mobile
Boeing
Merck
Nordstrom
General Motors
Toyota Motor Corp.
Nike
Harley Davidson
New York Times
Washington Post
Rolling Stone
New York Magazine

Trump's fellow conservatives have also called for boycotts of: Walmart, Netflix, Budweiser, Starbuck's, Keurig coffee makers, Target, Pepsi, and Gillette. Sports: These people have been whining so loudly about the "evils" of "cancel culture", yet they also :
demand everyone boycott the NFL because players knelt during the national anthem to protest police brutality

demand everyone boycott the NBA because players knelt during the national anthem to protest police brutality

demand everyone boycott NASCAR because it banned the flag of a pro-slavery country that declared war on the United States

demand everyone boycott MLB because this year's All-Star game will be played in a different stadium than first announced
The hypocrisy is breath-taking.

  1. I stand with President Landslide--we absolutely should cancel the first three games the Red Sox played against the Orioles.
