Corporations continue to purge conservative employees and affiliates
American Thinker ^ | 30 Jan, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

Sephora is a French-owned beauty supply store that shows up in more affordable shopping malls. It’s not in the same mall as Saks or Nordstrom. Instead, you’ll find it inside J.C. Penney or near a Costco. In other words, it caters to ordinary Americans, the ones who fall economically in the middle- or blue-collar classes. In other words, economically, it’s in the Trump demographic. Still, when a leftist got word that “beauty influencer” Amanda Ensing was a conservative, Sephora dumped her for failing to “align” with its values.

If you’re not familiar with the term “influencer,” I’m sorry to say that you’re showing your age. An influencer is someone who has a social media following – usually through videos – that is so powerful that he or she can influence people’s buying habits. Influencers can become very wealthy because corporations pay these influencers to promote products to the influencers’ millions of fans.

Amanda Ensing is a beauty influencer. Through her Twitter feed and YouTube channel, she dispenses fashion and beauty advice to her followers (almost 86,000 on Twitter and 1.4 million on YouTube). If you go to the page with her Cozy Christmas House Tour 2020, you’ll see that she has links to help people buy everything shown in her video – and Ensing gets a cut of every purchase. To which I say, good for her! Find a need, fill it, and make a living.

The difference is, the Germans took the guns from the victims. The democraps forgot to grab the guns here first.

This may happen once or twice, but then it’s shoot back time.

There Are No Guardrails On The Left

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3929301/posts

America is entering a terrible period in its history at an accelerating pace, now that the Left has taken control of all the critical reins of power in the government, the mainstream media, social media, and big tech. Unfortunately, history teaches with laser clarity that there are no guardrails restraining the behavior of the Left when it is so empowered.

In other countries, the government does the purging. Here, the government gives complete support to the entities that do the actual purging. The end result is the same.

Ensing’s appalling views? Opposing human trafficking, supporting the troops, harshing on Robinhood and, of course, supporting Trump. I would boycott Sephora, except I never shop there anyway. If you do, stop.

I suppose that needs to be a template going forward. I've never been big on boycotts, or let's say I don't go out of my way to advocate and get involved in formal movements. However, I have long decided where I buy and not buy.

It is amazing what you can do without and the personal consequences are positive. Just do without. Improvise. Fix. Improve. Focus on personal, in-person relationships and be wealthy - not materially wealthy.

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE----the Germans took the guns from their victims.
The stupid 2020 democraps grabbed power but plumb forgot to "grab guns".

Truer now than ever before: "Our side has 8 trillion bullets; the other side doesn't know which bathroom to use."

As others are also concluding, it is quite easy to compare the current Democrat purge of opposition, to the Nazis of the 30s. It must be noted that the only reason Hitler didn’t develop a nuclear bomb before the US did, is that he purged the very people who developed the bomb in the US (example: Einstein).

The same will happen here. Purging the free thinking, freedom loving conservatives from government and business won’t make them disappear, it will simply make the government and business organizations ineffective. A bees nest simply won’t survive with only drones. The remaining queen bee wannabees are only dredging up old failed policies. They won’t work this time, either.

Rush said it right on his show. There may be election fraud, but there are also millions of useful idiots in this country that support the mission and objectives of the radical Dem Party.

Sephora’s Planning To Double Down On Black Owned Brands

Part of the problem for stores like this is that with telecommuting decreasing the need for work face, bad and body are doing better than beauty.

This is Sephora's attempt to deal with that problem and others.

It won't work, but they clearly need to find that out the hard way.

At the moment we are at the equivalent stage of the Maoists painting yellow Ts on windows and banning anyone from entering the stores. We know where the yellow star stage led to in Germany.

I agreee. Unfortunately too many supporters won’t even get off Twitter after Trump was banned. We could economically shut a lot of these censors down, but our side lacks the will.

Just pick one out and make an example of them that’s all once they see the financial impact of actual “paying” customers the rest usually fall in line...that’s the thing conservatives are market place types and in general against boycotts but if these businesses learned a harsh lesson not to mess with people with actual dollars in their pocket they all get scared

But we can still fight back because they are private entities.

They need our money, we do not need them.

Dump them all
Cable tv
Censoring big tech
Woke big business, no national name brand products

These boycotts are in defense of free markets. Their side is destroying free markets
