    The funny thing is that politicians say a lot of things and don't follow up with it so no I can't guarantee that Cruz would have done it.

    You said 'have' meeting a decision that happens in the present so I interpreted it as an indictment of the support for Trump currently.

    But again, this argument is stupid because a business owner that did this now would not be in business for a long time so the market will legislate this behavior out.

    Oddly enough Maddox was a democrat.
    Fox has stayed on the air for a long time wielding that axe handle.
    Reagan got elected wielding that axe handle
    And Lynard Skynard became famous singing about the axe handle.
    What is being revealed as we speak is Russia exploited the axe handle

    Your pointing out Maddox being a (D) is ...

    Yes - Everyone you don't agree with politically is a racist. And you wonder why your ilk are losing with the people of the western world?

    well, if you show up at a party wearing a red coat, people will say you wear a red coat

    but, that is besides the point.
    The view that a public business reserves the right to who they do and dont serve based on race, gender , color ,creed or sexual orientation is ridiculous as pointed out in the meme.


    As well as an organic farmer at a farmers market with dread locks, a joint in his pocket and 3 naked babies does not have the right to not sell potatoes to someone based on their wearing a MAGA hat

    The left has radicalized their base by feeding lies for decades. When your whole policy is identify politics this is the result. Anyone who doesn't think this is a problem is a fool.

    55% of democracts saying they won't be friends with people of opposing political beliefs is scary

    You know - I'm so glad that you are taking this position on this serious issue because its this lack of self-awareness that is causing the populist revolution and back to normalcy. So please, continue on and keep pushing.

    I really don't understand why you don't think some of this is a worthy topic.

    Most of it is LOL worthy, a lot of it is a reason Trump won, and some of it is a ****ing problem

    The reason? "It feels masculine"

    Nobody said a word on the QandA... A ton of people complained privately.

    It's not healthy to not be able to voice legit criticism

    So 165/300 of some of the smartest kids in the world won't even be friends with someone with a different political views.

    Yeah,. Sure that really encourages diversity of thought

    You can phrase it that way, but it’s just as likely to be accurate to phrase it as roughly 165 teenaged liberal arts majors choosing to be in an echo chamber, which is something that has been the case for decades.
