Tucson cafe closes indefinately after backlash from pro-Trump FB post
- Thread starter Foxfire
- Start date
The first eight words tell the whole story, it's in a college area, likely chock full of anti-Trump snowflakes.

Along with the majority of US voters.

I don't believe polls, they have lost credibility with me.

In the Smith-Warren statement, the pair admitted they “never ever fathomed this would create such negative and hateful responses, including threats to burn down our building with us inside.”
:sigh:
I wonder what prompted them to make a political post in the first place. A risky move.

Free speech isn't always without it's consequences I suppose.
I would think that they should be more aware of their customer base. :think:
That's probably because you don't understand them. Or because you're a Trump supporter, assuming that's different. Or at least, using your approach, you appear to be a Trump supporter. Who knows, right?
Indeed ... not to mention they got it wrong. From the article:
“It’s hate feedback and it’s for one reason only and it’s that we showed our support for Donald Trump,” he said Saturday morning. “There was nothing that we put in the post that was absolutely wrong and terrible in that we supported our president and our troops.”
When they signed on to making the statement that they support Donald Trump, they left off the part that their customer base was intelligent enough to read: "We support all the hatred, bigotry, chaos and harm towards our fellow citizens that Trump has been tweeting about and trying to legislate into law".
For Trumps, it has never been about "the troops".
I understand polls and most are accurate, it's the Trump polls that lack credibility.
You spelled indefinitely wrong

CHUMP didn't even bother to meet the plane carrying them or console the families of the dead marines!
Come on, PJ, you know that's a problematic statement. Which polls? All of them? On what topic?
You forgot to end your sentence with the appropriate punctuation. Do you think either of you should be concerned?

Yeah, Fox News polls have never had much credibility with me either. :chuckle:
They generally tend to be over biassed in CHUMPS favor. :think:

The upshot is that it is the Left that is structured like a totalitarian government, and therefore is intolerant and violent.
There is no a Left-Right division in America. Instead, it is centralized vs minimal government. In order to have a centralized government, each person must think identical, as the British communists chanted during WW2: 'One mind, one state, all equal.'

No one used the term white nationalist until 5 minutes ago.
As I said the division is still between centralization and minimalization. Even if centrals were divided, they would inherently fight until they could impose and silence others. But the historic problem has been those of the Left: Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, etc.
Whenever has a university had to hire 600K of protection for a progressive author to speak, like Berkeley last month when Ben Shapiro was invited, or Ann Coulter will be? Because the totalitarians want to be there to silence, censor, disrupt. The restaurant in the Fox article is in a state university area and the threats were from those who disagreed.
