      it’s not deal breaker for me

      If this is absolutely disgusting for you, I guess you have really, really, really high standards, that probably nobody can meet.

        Not being ok with a rapist insurrectionist grifter felon being in charge of the country is too high a standard?

          Expressing support for a specific person picked, in a specific and narrow context = being OK with etc…? Also, it’s not his country either (like is not mine). As an external observer does it mean that if Trump will do anything (anything at all) that I agree with, even for the broken clock theory, I need to lobotomize myself and not say it, otherwise I am OK with a rapist insurrectionist grifter felon etc. etc.?

              No, I can read sentences in context, and I learned that the world has 3 dismensions quite early. Maybe it was because I lived in a country with a public school system that works (more or less).

              Anyway, a cult is a cult, and I feel I have nothing to gain from this interaction. Cya.

      I mean company backs pro-company party isn’t exactly surprising. You want to not shop at every company that supports Republicans? You’re going to have a hard time finding anywhere to shop in most of the US. Gotta stick to smaller companies, and if you get small enough you’ll get to mom and pop locations where personal votes are the comparison and they’ve voted Republican their entire lives.

        there’s an entire continuum of political support, and you can choose to draw a line anywhere on it. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to draw that line at outright public endorsement, particularly now with Trump in office.

        People are reactionaries by nature, they don’t think shit through until they get fucked enough to learn or they die, which ever comes first.
