as a conservative, i do not like the cancel culture, or President Trump calling for a boycott... seems contradictory to the idea that we all have freedom of expression.

i know Goodyear messed up, i would have liked the President to ask them if they truly meant to publicly support cop killers, support the end to the western idea of family, end to capitalism and that they didn’t support law enforcement. Publicly shaming them into either a boycott or open support for freedom of expression.

after a public shaming or refusal, goodyear would be done...

” ... i do not like the cancel culture ...”

I don’t either, but an individual decision not to buy a product or patronize an establishment is not the same as an administrative decision to ban a speaker or cancel a show.

Don't fall for the left wing argument that calling out and encouraging a boycott of a company like Goodyear is the same as "cancel culture" and is against freedom of expression.

In fact President Trump and all of us are defending the freedom of expression which should be granted to the employees of Goodyear. They deserve a workplace free from discrimination based on how they think about "racial equity issues" or whatever else is the liberal talking point of the day. They should be free to voice their opinion if the leftists are allowed to voice theirs.

If Goodyear is opposed to anyone expressing opinions about anything that is their prerogative, but it is not appropriate for them to only allow advocacy for one point of view.
