I'm just waiting for a Republican to come out and just say, "reading is for liberals." Because you know it's coming.

They already are. What do you think their War On Education over the last 40 years is about. Dumb illiterate peasants believe whatever they're told.

They say it now just not publicly.
I strongly believe it.
Our customer service (CS) department has a HQ in a red state, they manage all the Customer Service nationwide. They report to my boss and have these "huddle" meetings where the CS managers (of which there are at least 30+ people) share ideas. Other department leads/managers can join. I used to sit in as a engineer manager, so I can under understand problems from customers. But now I sit in to eat popcorn.
The CS leads are definitely conservatives. And These huddles are full of really stupid takes.
One of the takes was where someone recommended training resources and another mockingly said, "Read a book? What do you think this is, a school?"
idiot corporate managers who insist on the word 'huddle' instead of 'meeting'. Ugh.

Another conservative tantrum, yet somehow everyone else is a snowflake.
It's ALWAYS projection with these assholes.
EVERY TIME.
"Froot loops were once part of a balanced breakfast"
Ummm... No. No, they never were.
Part of “a complete breakfast” and the commercial would show the bowl of cereal with like eggs and fruit and a ton of other shit. Like your 7 year old ordered room service at the Hilton before he’s late to Show and Tell.
A very small part. Like all the sugar you'd need for the day part.
...if you were doing CrossFit for 12 hours.
The day? More like the week.
So are they gonna go after Dolly Parton next for mailing ~~woke-leftist indoctrination propaganda~~ children’s books out to kids on a monthly basis?
They’re conservatives, so more than likely.
They can try... But Dolly Parton is a living national treasure. Going after her would cause their hearts to implode and they know it.
In Other News: Conservatives hate dancing and music.
... But they absolutely love booze.
My friend got married in a conservative little Washington town near the Canadian border. When planning the wedding, they were told that city ordinance allowed them to choose either alcohol or music at the reception, but not both.
We ended up drinking and making Footloose jokes all night.
The Republicans in Washington tend to not care much about vices. They were gone legalizing weed. You go down to the Deep South and they hate booze so much that they have dry counties.

Every time a brand falls onto the "socially conservative ban list" I just cackle evilly.
Yes. The death by a thousand cuts is very fitting for these people who seem to lack critical thinking skills and won't learn.
It's almost like people think children need to know how to be decent human beings and they know that some parents will refuse to teach that skill.
It's almost as if...as if society at large has already decided that the "status quo" they are vehemently defending needs to die. It's like society has decided people need to be better. So that we don't like; kill each other off stupidly over stupid fucking bullshit in stupid wars like stupid idiots being stupidly fucking greedy and unrelenting.
I laugh even more when they buy that product too show themselves shooting it/burning it/ or otherwise getting rid of it via some video on social media.
I highly doubt Kellogg's cares if someone buys 5 boxes of Froot Loops because they want to eat them or use them for target practice to prove how MAGA they are. Kellogg's has their money either way.
who the fuck cares what they boycott

At this point, I'm surprised these morons aren't launching homemade missiles at the sky to try and stop actual rainbows.
Funnily enough, every year in early July they go nuts launching Chinese-made missiles at the sky to CREATE rainbows.

Huh. I never really noticed they spelled it "Froot" before. Weird.
What, did you think there was actual fruit in it?
The TV commercial told me it was part of a balanced and healthy breakfast!

Alright. That’s even dumber than the beer thing a while ago. Let me try to guess what’s next.
Bacon. You see, more and more people from Muslim families say „fuck it“ and try out bacon. Conservatives, with that giant hole in their heads, will demand from the manufacturers to not sell bacon to muslims and ex muslims. The manufacturers will say „whatever“ and so the boycott starts. It will last for like 5 days and bacon sales will rise in the meantime.
If this doesn’t happens in the next two years, I will open and moderate a furry community.
I think you're a furry because Muslims aren't going to start eating pork in large numbers. However, what if they found a way to turn pigs gay?
So when you open your community, what’s it going to be named?
Why wait two years? Be satisfied if your own skin, even if it has fur on the outside!

"The Froot Loops are turning the frickin frogs GAY" -- US Conservatives probably

Standing against things rather than for things.
American Froot Loops have such vibrant colors. Wtf.
That is because the US does not have as strict regulations regarding food colorings. Colors that Europe ban are all good in the US.
It's all the forever chemicals we allow in our food probably.
Meanwhile I thought they were boycotting because the Fruit Loops are the colors of “the gays” /s
Conservative boycotts seem to be a dime a dozen, then everything goes back to normal because some manufactured moral outrage doesn’t really matter.
Looks like I'm buying Fruit Loops. 😝
Toucan Sam has been the Fruit Loops mascot since 1963. Their kids (and grandkids) have already been "indoctrinated" with all the colors of the rainbow. (I like the red ones, myself. Lol)

"kindness, acceptance, and inclusivity"--three things conservatives hate
They decry cancel culture, while canceling any culture they can find. The sad, sad hypocrisy.
Imagine being such a coward that you need to shelter yourself from breakfast cereal. I’m so glad that Darwinism is taking these clowns out one-by-one.
I love how conservatives throw around the word "woke" like it actually bothers anyone lol. Even my dad last week at Thanksgiving made a comment about how the Marvel movies were getting too woke. Like WTF does that mean? Lmao
Always ask them to define woke. What they mean is progressive but they don't want to say that because it makes them seem like shitty dinosaurs screeching about the way Elvis moves his hips.

Since millions of children have already been "indoctrinated" by the rainbow cereal, isn't it already 60 years too late?
