Look they got 9 inches of Trump broke off in their assholes over the last 4 years. Give them some time to let the swelling go down. They’ll come to their senses

Did they do this when Democrats challenged certification in past?

Coup? “False” propaganda??? Do you believe the propaganda from Democrats the past 4 years has been “true” propaganda?

Have Democrats redefined more words? Instead of banning words and speakers of words maybe Democrats should keep redefining them in their own minds. It seems to work for you.

How quickly the free market, run your business as you please, can refuse service to anyone crowd folds when it's them. How's it feel to be the gay couple who wanted a wedding cake? The people who work for Hobby Lobby who want birth control covered in their company provided healthcare. Free market capitalism right?

They singled that guy out to make an example of him despite having many other options available.

All the conservatives looking for social media have plenty of alternatives as well.

Well, they won't have the luxury of burying these companies in legal debt like you folks did to a small town baker

You mean the gay couple who chose a baker that they knew would object for attention instead of picking a baker that would not provide them said attention?

Now here's a shocker for you. People don't have to work for companies that they don't have to because of disagreements over management, or benefits. I'm pretty sure people know the standards Hobby Lobby has before they are employed there.

We aren't the soviet union. Yet.

Hold on...

You're comparing the power of a baker in Colorado to the power of Google/Facebook/Twitter/Apple/Amazon?

Right, because a small business owner making cakes not wanting to go against his religious beliefs with design (he did offer to sale a cake) bullied by gay couple and a trans lawyer due to his religious beliefs compares to some of most richest and powerful companies in the world which arguably are operating monopolies that they are banning people from and possibly colluding together in this (at least enough to look into) not to mention not acting in good faith as 230 requires.

No, I'm comparing philosophies about how conservatives generally say businesses can refuse to serve anyone except when it's them. How they believe in the free market until it acts against them.

Leftism of today isn’t made up of any ideological or ethical beliefs for the reason of ideas, logic or ethics. Beliefs are just the vessel for whatever empowers or justifies the their goals at the moment.

Right now, that goal is silencing the opposition.

Progressivism has little ideology, except for change, which is constant. Doesn't matter if it gets worse, as long as its change. They;ve discovered the only way to win, isn't on ideas but silencing the opposition.

No this is as if there were only bakers in town that wouldn't bake the cake, this guy in response opens up his own cake shop to bake gay wedding cakes, and then all the other bakers come in and burn down their competition and get away with it as people praise them.

Nope, see previous response to same objection. Capitalism and free market belief is that if the current market isn't providing a market need someone will start providing that market need. Barriers to entry for such a platform are lower and lower every day.
