This is the hell that Trump and Fox News have wrought on us. When your protests involve threatening to blow things up and murder people, at that point, it is no longer about "protecting children". And also you also no longer peaceful protestors, you are straight up terrorists. It is way past time to start calling MAGA and its' enablers a terrorist group.

You didn't think the fascists would just stop at the "gays", did you?
Target, Kohl's, Chick-Fil-a, Disney, Anheuser-Busch, etc... It's just a start fuckwads.
Oh, you don't want to pay a living wage, provide decent benefits, pay taxes, or be regulated, well the MAGAs have a whole different version of regulation.
Enjoy what you have wrought.

(1,454 posts)here's a tip: DON'T BUY IT.
I have walked past many a display that held trump merch, never once thought to make a bomb threat to the store, or harass the employees or start throwing the stuff on the floor. These people need to get prosecuted for this infantile nonsense. In what other country could you walk in and start hurling accusations and obscenties at the staff, then pull a stunt like throwing displays items on the floor ? And making a bomb threat is illegal. Time to start charging these people for this childish and obnoxious behavior.
This country has allowed the tyranny of the minority for too long.
ENOUGH ALREADY.
