Somebody is engaged in oppression and hatred, and it is not the owners of the businesses involved. This is getting very close to a free-speech issue.
Flagrant misuse of the “free-speech” doctrine in the 1970’s was widely responsible for its degeneration into the “filthy speech” movement, and what at the time was a widespread rebellion by youth, resulting in assaults against property, courteous behavior, and even common decency. Individuals were making public displays of things that in another time in history would have gotten them incarcerated or even exiled.
I agree. There’s a difference between boycott a company like Target that takes a very open stand in the bathroom issue versus trolling the FEC website and targeting private citizens for their campaign contributions.
Most if not all of the boycotters are either unemployed or in low-paid jobs.
They lack vehicles, houses/property, families, and make few if any large purchases. They also have crippling student debt.
Businesses have little to fear
