when was the last major conservative boycott?
there's a six page thread bitching about Star Wars on this board right now, there are people all over who still refuse to see a movie with Sean Penn in it or any other "Hollywood Liberal" of the week who peed in their cheerios.
in a capitalist society we vote with our wallets. I don't like roast beef so Arbys doesn't get my money. I don't like Mike and Mike so their advertisers don't reach me because I don't listen to their show. I buy powerade instead of gatorade when possible so as not to give money to UF. This is how the world works.
When you make a decision to perform at a party for an extremely polarizing person and someone doesn't like that decision and chooses to spend their money on other things, that's not only their right but also completely rational given the way our society operates. It's up to you the performer to make that cost/benefit analysis.
If someone were to send death threats or something to Bocelli over this then yeah, they are unhinged. But just deciding they aren't going to financially support the artist anymore? No, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that on any level.

and let's look at the box office to determine how big this "boycott" will be

oh good. glad you are on the pain train and will maintain this argument in the future when government encroaches on this. so you now believe that laws like the one that force christians to bake cakes for gay people to be wrong, right? you are against consumer protection laws? how far does your political rebellion now reach?

it's your right
it's not very rational. more like a great example of emotional thinking

Stupid, but boycotts aren't fascist. In fact, they are an important part of a both capitalism and a free society.

Target, Starbucks, NFL, General Mills, Any business that does Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas...

Target, General Mills, Starbucks, Disney, etc.
They also spent millions on advertising to show how "effective" the Target boycott was, using misleading info to boot.
Let's stop acting like only one group does this.

So these libtards want to boycott a man with a disability, he's been blind since 12.
I thought true libs represented people with disabilities, minorities, people with different sexual orientation etc.
What's wrong with these sick people?

It's just as ridiculous as boycotting General Mills because they had a gay couple on a commercial for Cheerios, boycotting Kroger because they don't want guns on their private property, or boycotting Starbucks because you don't like their seasonal cups.

This is how The Left rolls. They are psychologically unable to restrain their fear and anxiety. I think it's high time for you, Psych and I to offer our highly-coveted professional mental health services to many on this board. Our theme could be " constructive coping strategies" or "bed-wetting cessation techniques"-depending on how you want to approach it.

The creeps are even going after 16 year old Jackie Evancho because she is going to sing at Trump's inauguration.
