How the Boycott Georgia movement Flopped

The thing about boycotts is that they don’t work too well in a vacuum. If you start a parade and no one gets in line behind you, you aren’t a leader; you’re just a fool walking down the middle of the street twirling a baton.

The failed boycott-Georgia movement illustrates the limits of the Democratic Party’s tactic of attaching hysterical overreaction and claims of racism to virtually any Republican idea, even a routine package of voting reforms. The Democrats turned the volume up to eleven on the Georgia elections bill signed into law March 25, labeling it the second coming of Jim Crow even before it was signed. Joe Biden, in a “Hello, fellow kids” moment meant to prove he was hip to cutting-edge Democratic thinking, on March 31 asserted that this ordinary, dull piece of good-government legislation was actually worse than Jim Crow, and that most of the country was in the process of becoming something more awful than 1957 Mississippi. “This is Jim Crow on steroids, what they’re doing in Georgia and 40 other states,” Biden said on ESPN on March 31. He was unaware that New York and many other states already have on the books policies comparable to, or more restrictive than, the new Georgia law, such as bans on outside groups’ providing things of value to voters waiting in line at the polls.

Anything which makes harder to cheat, the democrats are against. If India has voter ID's with Photo with 800 million ID's printed, we can't do less than 200 million voter ID's with photo or thumb print?

I think the reverse boycott of Coca Cola & Delta airline and also the MLB is still very much in effect

They were depending on the threat of the boycotts to get the leaders in Georgia to give in. When that didn’t work, it faded away. This should be held up as an example of how to deal with Leftists going forward.

I will boycott Coke and MLB forever unless they bow at the feet of the MAGA movement and beg forgiveness.

I had boycotted MLB long ago. Now Coke is on my list next. I bought a half priced alternative product called Summit cola and I will continue with it. Not bad at all.

Democrat claims, in this and any other issue, cannot hold up under scrutiny. That is why scrutiny (1st Amendment rights) are being suppressed, and ultimately will be abolished in Biden’s “Amerika”. Can there be any doubt, after scrutiny has been applied?

IMHO the Left over-reaches on most issues. They depend on mushy country club republicans to cave in quickly. I was member at 2 country clubs and I know those folks well.

Hope and pray that if I post this enough it might happen
What the Republicans should be doing is using the Georgia reform and doing is this *REVIEW THOSE GEORGIA SENATE ELECTION RESULTS

Answer Biden’s stop order with this :

There were a series of fraudulent voting charges here. Were they enforced and corrected before this election took place ? If they weren’t is not a review called for ?

They were created with the introduction of Covid 19 which the Biden campaign thanks the CCP for doing; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3940857/posts

If the Georgia Secretary of State is in charge of voting he has the responsibility of enforcing the state’s regulations as to who votes. And eliminate those from voter lists who don’t qualify.

Assign prosecutors to personally canvass and investigate. Check if military actually voted by asking them. Identify all voters by checking on legal age their residency and citizenship. If found they do not qualify charge Illegals including state visitors known as snowbirds also include any technical computer fraudulent Italian programming testimony when presenting to the court and get these election results tossed. Because there’s this; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3949751/posts

LINKED HERE ARE REASONS WHY THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING 90% of the military votes went for the Machurian candidate Joe Biden ?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3927647/posts#28 Question Those results

Boycotts demanding fraud are bound to fail.

...to prove he was hip to cutting-edge Democratic election fraud thinking, the demented oldster Biden.......
<><> asserted that GA's ordinary, dull piece of good-government legislation was b-a-d:
<><> worse than Jim Crow,
<><> that most of the country was in the process of becoming more awful than 1957 Mississippi.

BIDEN on ESPN: “This (GA law) is Jim Crow on steroids, what they’re doing in Georgia and 40 other states. "

The demented creep was "unaware" that New York and many other states already have on the books
policies comparable to, or more restrictive than, the new Georgia law.

How many voters don't have RealID driving licenses or IDs for those who don't or can't drive.

It is finally time for Republicans and Conservatives to fight back — we have more people than they do — by far! Boycott Major League Baseball, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, ViacomCBS, Citigroup, Cisco, UPS, and Merck. Don't go back to their products until they relent. We can play the game better than them," Trump said.

That's

Major League Baseball
Coca-Cola
Delta Airlines
JPMorgan Chase
ViacomCBS
Citigroup
Cisco
UPS
and Merck

Unless and until CEOs lose their jobs at MLB and Coke, I’m not going back. And I don’t fly Delta.

Kemp’s handling of this situation may have pulled his butt out of the fire he built along with Brad.....maybe.
