1. None of your business. I voted for Trump therefore, I must be a deplorable. Done.

2. I have the freedom to change the channel, cancel Netflix, not buy tickets to a show or a movie. My freedom to spend my after-tax $$$ where I wish doesn't hamper the freedom of the person who is famous to speak their mind. I am NOT wasting my time nor money to watch any entertainment where the recipients demean my political beliefs.

You skipped over the Eric Garner questions. And those were what Kaepernick's protest was about. And what your NFL boycott was about.

There's a rationalization shortfall problem there if you can't actually speak to it.

I didn't skip anything. You are gratuitously bringing up a horrific death that never should have happened. No one intended to kill that poor man during the arrest and Mr. Garner's death is an avoidable tragedy. Why don't you blame the Albany lawmakers for putting an outrageous premium on taxing cigarettes to the point where these cops targeted a man selling individual cigarettes?

Protesting in the streets, threatening the safety of all citizens by demonizing ALL cops for the actions of a dirty few weakens and endangers our democracy.

The issue isn't that it was one horrific death, it's that there have been hundreds of these all around the country, virtually all involving blacks, virtually none involving whites and very little accountability. Cigarette selling ultimately wasn't even to blame, culture of police violence and over-the-top police aggression toward blacks is to blame. As such it hasn't been "avoidable" as tragedy, it has been par for the course. So again, you still don't understand the actual reason why you boycotted NFL and Nike.

Tell you what: why don't you do you instead of telling me exactly what I "still don't understand."

Ahhh, of course, clutching your pearls and saying "how dare you say I don't understand my own decision" when throughout this thread you've made one glaring misstatement and misrepresentation after another about what Kaepernick's protest was about.

You may earnestly THINK you understand, based on what you were told and what you were led to believe, but it's clear you don't actually understand it at all.

Dunning Kruger, it's a thing.

Any of you saying otherwise do not know anything about food.

I love when some anonymous poster lays down lofty proclamations, as if s/he actually knows something the rest of us do not. CFA is fast food. No one is pretending otherwise. But it's delicious and definitely not "lower than average." Just admit you hate the fact that so many people love it and continue to eat there. It burns you up.

Not burning us up, it's actually quite amusing us to see you falling all over yourselves in defense of mediocre fast food. Just like how you fall all over yourselves gushing over-the-top praise for your fast-food President Trump and his non-accomplishments. Completely unaware of how ridiculous you all look.

Am I allowed to eat there if I voted for Obama? Im getting confused by these ultra progressives.

And trying to cover it up under the guise of carefree "chuckling". Too funny.

I know, right?! These posters were obviously amused and not at all full of rage over... the FF choices of others. Check out their lighthearted remarks!

"Republicans don't believe in boycotting? LOL! What world are you living in? They called for boycotts of the NFL and Nike over Colin Kaepernick. They called for boycotting Gillette over the ad they ran. They called for boycotting Yeti coolers over the NRA. They have called for tons of boycotts for decades. I also remember when they called for boycotting the Dixie Chicks when they spoke out against the Iraq war.
Are you really that clueless or do you think you can just make up bullshit pretense about how Republicans somehow have higher moral grounding and try to gaslight us with that nonsense? Either way, it's wrong, just stop already." (19:12)

I am the poster who wrote Republicans don't generally boycott excellent products.

1. NFL isn't a product: it is a source of entertainment. It SUCKED during the protests. Why would I pay $$$ to go to the games when they were political statements supposedly against my party and my President when the players were protesting something I strongly supported since the signing of the decades old Criminal Justice Reform Act? Answer: hard pass.

2. I use Gillette razors. The ad was stupid. I'm not a fanatic: it's an solid product.

3. I LOVE my YETI cooler and products. I'm not a fanatic: They produce a solid product that performs solidly. Now, I did try to get the fam to sick an NRA sticker on it but, that didn't happen.

4. Dixie Chicks are entertainment. When entertainment intersects with politics, I'm solidly out. Not interested and rarely look back whether it is Hollywood, music or the NFL. I have formed different habits and as one consumer, you won't miss me. Analysts run the numbers and take the risk of alienating a base. It is what it is.

5. Costco. I did boycott Costco for a few years for labeling the Bible fiction. I spent $10,000 there annually. Now, I am slowly returning and might go there every other month or two and only spend around $400 a trip. I got out of the habit of making the trip and it's no big deal.

6. Macy's. I did boycott Macy's and Nordstrom's where I purchased basics and many presents. Again, that lasted about a year.

7. Nike. Adidas design is just cuter the past two years. I hadn't even thought about it but, almost every pair of sneakers (kids are sneaker heads) have been Adidas. We also pick up apparel when shopping for sneakers.

No big deal. I am sorry I said "Republicans don't boycott when I am one Republican who doesn't generally boycott excellent products. I do avoid entertainment with negative energy, overt political messaging, or that doesn't bring me joy. Doesn't everyone? It's my greatest privilege called freedom.

The issue you will have is that movies, film, tv mostly come from the creative class who are by nature and by definition overwhelmingly liberal. Conservatives are more about staying rooted in tradition than new ideas and that means art, music, entertainment as well. Yet you would boycott them because you put ideology before all else?

As for the NFL you didn't even get the reasons right, Kaepernick wasn't protesting the GOP or the President, he was protesting use of excessive force by police vs. minorities. It was one specific issue. Had nothing to do with "the troops" or any of the other things the right wanted to conflate into it rather than actually talking about the specific issue.

1. Hell yes. I am not going to sit in a movie theater when the star went on a promo-tour condemning my non-extreme beliefs as whatever nasty crap they spew on the hate talk show circuit.

2. The police were following the LAW. The judges were enforcing the sentencing guidelines established by the law. The law that was established by that act, zero-tolerance, more cops on the beat etc. of course there are dirty cops and they need to rooted out of the system using the laws already in the books. If that needed to change, and if players supported changing the law to enable dirty cops to come to justice, I'd have supported the players 100%.

I am 100% fine with you not agreeing with the way I view the intersection of politics with my entertainment dollars. Peace.

1.) What "non-extreme beliefs" of yours were specifically condemned? Also, you enjoy the freedom to voice your political beliefs. Why then do you want to silence the voices of others who would similarly voice their political beliefs? Do you think freedom of speech only applies to you?

2.) Did Eric Garner deserve to die at the hands of cops for the crime of making a few bucks on a street corner selling single cigarettes? Was that fair and just punishment? Was it "following the law" for police to commit an extrajudicial execution in his case?

Re the bolded, good question. Let's ask it of liberals in general and, more specifically, DCUM liberals.

Who specifically singled you out and called you deplorable? I don't like Hillary's comments, but let's try and follow your logic here... Hillary said some Trump supporters were deplorable, not all. You couldn't list a specific non-extreme belief. Fine. If you truly have no non-extreme beliefs, then that would make you non-deplorable. It's you then who chose to put yourself into the deplorable side of Trump supporters, not someone else. By deplorable, Hillary was referring to the Charlottesville white supremacist types. Why are you choosing to lump yourself in with them and take a bullet for them by referring to yourself as deplorable when nobody else was referring to you as deplorable?

Or is there more that you aren't telling us?

Not the PP, but come on. Be honest. In today's climate, anyone who says illegal immigration is wrong and who does not support illegal immigrants being released into the U.S. is called a "racist". Among many (probably most) liberals, believing these things makes one a "deplorable". Just take a cursory glance at any of the threads on this forum discussing illegal immigration, the crisis at the border, etc. Stop being disingenuous.

Oh dear God. The D-K poster is back. The sanctimonious, pretentious person who insists anyone who disagrees with them is displaying the D-K effect. We see you and we think you're a moron.

No, you traitor!! According to the all-knowing liberals on this thread, ONLY conservatives may eat at CFA. Apparently, only conservative eat greasy, artery-clogging food. You're not a true Democrat if you eat there and you should hang your head in shame.

Loose horse! Close the gates.

Now some on this board are claiming no one in media, this board, or many other social media platforms didn't call Trump voters Deplorables? You have a much larger public image to rectify instead of confronting me and trying to tell me I am imagining psychological bullies alienating the voters they need to win the next election. Nice try, psycho.

Last I recalled, HRC also blamed her supporters asking how come she wasn't 50 points ahead...is there more you aren't telling us about your less than enthusiastic support for your candidate? How could you betray her trust in you? You let her down, didn't you? You'll be fighting this internal battle of what role you could have done batter for the rest of your life won't you? That is too painful isn't it so, blame others, make up imaginary enemies, point fingers in a circular firing squad because you simply can't accept you lost an election that comes around every four years. It is that simple.

Go to a Chik-Fil-A, get a smile and a genuinely polite attitude from an employee there because you aren't getting one from me.

[Anonymous]

Sorry I called you psycho. That was not polite. And I am sorry I turned the tables on you which was also not far but, a defensive mechanism to your offensive post.

I lowered myself to your level. Carry on in good health, DK lover.

Chick fil a is run by serious bigots, no getting around it. I haven't eaten there in years and years except in no-other-options situations because of this.

This bill is mental though because chick fil a is RIDICULOUSLY popular despite this. The number of people I see every time i see a Chick Fil a drive through is insane. At my office people will line up for the CFA food truck for an hour. For fast food chicken nuggets!

All politics aside I really don't understand why ANYONE would wait for fast food for an hour. For any fast food.

But if you are the owners a fast food chain that people ARE willing to wait an hour for, you don't need some bill protecting you from the minor effects of your gross donating policies.
