    Losing your business due to a bunch of totalitarian LW creeps isn't destroying your life? Let's get you fired and see what you think.

    Fascism demonized a race, the Communists/LW demonized economic classes.

    The effectiveness of masks is debatable
    Are they a totem or something?

    I've been reprimanded for expressing political support for a candidate at work, threatened with being fired if I didn't stop. I had the sense to stop. Somehow, I seriously doubt any of the conservatives rushing to the OP business owner's defense would have been so quick to do the same for a Hillary supporter in 2016, or a Biden supporter right now.

    I think an organised boycott of a business are entirely appropriate but first you have to establish what the BUSINESS did that deserves a boycott. If its business practices are repugnant, overtly discriminatory, or it engages in unsafe practices that affect the larger society, and it will not respond to dialogue, a boycott is perfectly appropriate. for this sort of thing, I personally simply would refuse patronize as long as it was promoting a political view I dislike in the store. I would not organise a boycott though. This is the risk they take by not separating politics from business.

    I worked for @ 35 years at 2 companies and don't think I ever had more than 1 political discussion with a coworker (off site after a few drinks... fortunately we saw eye to eye)

    Most Hillary/Biden supporters don't have to display the insignia to "own the cons" so it rarely comes up....

    Just can't accept reality can you.

    "The county reported a record 3,187 new coronavirus cases on Friday, the highest daily total since the start of the pandemic, according to health officials on Sunday.”

    Not what NFL scouts and players say. But then some guy on a message board MUST be an expert.

    Pretty sure your opinion is Trump based rather than football related so

    Live the lie.

    Are among the big time players who started games in the NFL

    If he was any good I doubt he would be out of the NFL.
    Not everything is about Trump.

    it seems like you're just accusing everyone of lying if they say something you don't like.

    And that is somehow different from Teump who blames everyone of everything bad he dies. I think he has a wheel set up in his office to spin to pick for him to blame that day for his mistakes...

    Just reminding where "cancel" started.

    Unless you'd like to discuss the Chicks?

    I still don't see your point. Are you trying to say his 1st amendment rights cancel those of others? She should be silent because it could hurt his business? Are you that against the concept of all men are created equal?

    If a steakhouse/sports bar hires attractive young ladies and dresses them in skimpy outfits it is not trying to attract a female clientele and it knows it'll get some heat over it but in the long run may pay off with male customers. If that same steakhouse/sports bar hires well endowed male wait staff and has them take viagra prior to their shifts so they have a tripod for their trays it'll get some heat and no male customers and probable no female customers either.

    If a crappy pizza joint (by definition ALL pizza in NY is crappy) decides to display a flag that it must know offends people it should not be surprised that, shock, people are offended by it. If he doesn't think that they have the right to be offended then no one should go to his shop because he's a colossal ass that you shouldn't want to be associated with. Unless, of course, you yourself are a colossal ass but that really isn't that big a niche market, not even in NY.

    They both have the right to free speech, that being said, you know it would be different if a business was flying a Joe Biden flag and a conservative customer saw it. They'd probably roll their eyes and make a comment to themselves, "oh Jeez, one of them", but you know what? They wouldn't try and destroy their lives! That is the main difference between conservatives and democrats and its why we can not let them win! They destroy anyone or anything that doesn't agree with their views.

    Do you understand why?

    That Trump flag is a signal that the proprietor does not take this virus seriously.

    People need to shy away from places like that
