I guess our continued plan of just waiting for all the boomers to die is still the only plan we’re going with?

Dkarma,

Conservatives don’t want anything to change. Time to get rid of them

Gnugit,

The paradox of tolerance is that you can not have a tolerant society if you tolerate the intolerant.

HogsTooth,

Tolerance as a social contract fixes this. “We will tolerate you if you tolerate us.” That keeps us from welcoming traitors.

BranBucket,

The problem is that the more you fight change, the more you change things. Your movement becomes more and more focused on resisting change, and less focused on preserving any good qualities it once had. It’s an inescapable bit of futility, hard coded into the human condition.

NABDad,

It’s worse than that. Conservatives want everything to change. Back to the early 1800’s.

ech,

Gen X and Millennial conservatives are far from nonexistent. They’re the ones leading the charge on garbage like this.

Lol, those hicks aren’t actually going to stop shopping at tractor supply.

  • someone from a town with those hicks.
Syringe,

Right? Like… I’d like to see them ACTUALLY boycott tractor supply. In a lot of places, that’s sort of the only store around.

grue,

Now we just need to get boycotts started on Walmart and Family Dollar, and the hicks will all have to switch back to subsistence farming or something.

Tractor Supply understands their actual customer base: farm queers

Any business with a political opinion is guaranteed to upset a large group of people.

The fact that merely acknowledging that LGBTQ+ people exist and are worthy of basic human dignity and respect is considered a “political opinion” is exactly the problem.

refalo,

Asking to be treated differently from everyone else is a problem in itself.

can,

But they’re not? Equality doesn’t mean more.

flicker,

Idiots like that think that human rights are finite, and if someone else gets them, they lose then.

It’s remarkably stupid.

can,

I still wish I could hear their line of thinking from them though. What are they possibly seeing.

please take your reactionary bs elsewhere

DAMunzy,

Different than others, how?

ImADifferentBird,

If “treated with basic human dignity and respect” is “treated differently from everyone else” in your eyes, that sounds like a you problem.

refalo,

we must have different definitions of dignity and respect

Perhaps we do. How sad.

I swear, somewhere along the line, we all ended up living in Pleasantville.

Ranger,

Cern need to figure out how to shift us back to our old timeline.

Me reading the headline thinking “It can’t be Tractor Supply…”

Drusas,

Me reading the headline thinking, "It can only be Tractor Supply."

Man, I would love it if these assholes didn’t shop there. So many times I’ve run into one when shopping there and they are spouting their bullshit while buying almost nothing. I’m like, uhhh, can you leave the cashier alone so I can spend several hundred dollars here?

I’m going to go buy something at Tractor Supply for the first time in years because of this
