    No I think you are confused. It is pushing back on cancel culture.

    I think you missed the point? It's not about the pillows...

    After all these years of calling Trump a fascist and totalitarian, look who the REAL ones are.

    Color me shocked.

    Nope. It's cancel culture. Same thing. It may be retaliatory, but it's still cancel culture. Pushing back would be supporting those who have been cancelled. Confusion indeed.

    Companies can add new SKUs or release SKUs for whatever reason they decide.

    Which part of that do you disagree with?

    Okay. I mistook your meaning, then.

    It's neither cancel culture or anti cancel culture.

    It's a business making a decision, for whatever reason they want. How their customers react is the consequence for the act.

    Just like every other business decision.

    Goya and Chick-Fil-A come to mind. They had their political moments (pro red,) and they got a lot of business because of it.

    I think the part of the brain that processes smells exploded and died a flaming death the one time I walked into a BB&B. Those stores are hideous smelling with 1,000 different scents competing in a small space.

    Anyway, I don't care if they care or not. It is probably a decision based on sales expectations. I always look forward to some Food Network star to fall from grace so I can get some really pricy kitchen ware for 90% off on clearance the following week.

    It's about the private sector exercising its rights, and just the beginning of the coming "shock and awe" from powerful monied interests. It's real. It's not going away. Realistic people understand this. Things are changing. It only seems drastic because of Trump. The real GOP, the real conservative GOP is the party of the Bush's, John McCain, Colin Powell. George Will, Bill Kristol and Joe Scarborough. Michael Steele. Okay, Sarah Palin.

    The GOP was certainly whiter than the Democrats 20 years ago, but it was a fiesta of diversity compared to Trump. 20 years ago.

    That the strategy failed and the party hijacked by white nationalists, the GOP has some real soul searching to do.

    Retailers, manufacturers, the private sector in general, had its mind made up long ago. How quickly Mike Pence forgets what happened in Indiana in response to his "Religious Freedom Act" in 2015.

    Money talks. Trump walks.

    I think there's a product out there already. It's made for suckers.

    The left has wide experience at silencing opposition with economic attacks, they hate free speech- and they don't need your help at it.

    Those stores are dropping the My Pillow line out of fear of losing business from the left's threats, which of course they apply to any company who helps those who disagree with them. I think the CEO's are worried more about the overall boycott than being offended by Mike Lindells positions. Lots of people will sell out others to save their own asses, or avoid having the thug trash come and picket the stores, even riot and burn- and they all know the lefties have experience at that.

    Can you actually name the Leftist leader who started this campaign to silence Lindell?

    Haven't bothered to look it up. It's become knee-jerk reaction now; I don't think the followers need instructions anymore. Pavlov kind of thing.

    Standing against Trump’s goons is a good business decision.

    Of course not. The cult doesn't need you to know.

    Scientologists aren't even allowed to research any criticism against the "church."

    Depending on how the wind blows, pretty soon refusing to eat a certain food will be called censorship.

    BB&B store in Branson has already closed up. That was my nearest one. Guess they make poor business decisions.

    Republicans are very slow learners at this game.

    Business competes for customers. All of them, not just the white ones.
