Look at all these special snowflakes who can't take a message about compassion and love for the other without feeling angry.

OUTRAGE CULTURE

They even want to boycott the commercial making fun of Trump's Hair?

Are we sure these 'boycotters' aren't just Trump and his staff?

Trump supporters are too economically anxious to spend money on all that anyway

And the 84 Lumber ad was supposed to be pro-wall lol

Wasn't it a wall with some door or something that could open? That's a massive flaw. The wall shouldn't even have a crack to let a worm in.

Coca Cola supported the Nazi's in WW2 so I don't how far some GAFers want to take that. Thanks to Fanta that is.

Browsing comments and getting 3 forms of cancer. The complaint seems to be comparing hard working German immigrants to muslims who have "contributed nothing" to the world while germans have bmw, rocket tech etc.etc.

I wonder if they know where the Germans got all of that math for the engineering.

Wait, isn't boycotting in the realm of "libtards"? lol this is so weak. Jimmy Kimmel should go up to Trump supporters and ask them if they have boycotted Starbucks and Coca Cola yet.

Not surprised re: Lady Gaga. I bet people spent all last week in the run up to the game working on getting outraged and preparing Twitter statements.

Someone tweeted to my new favorite morning show this morning ("Feedback" with Nik Carter and Lori Majewski on Sirius XM Volume) saying something along the lines of "Typical Gaga, of course she would sing 'Born this Way.' How unsubtle can she get?" Nik Carter disagreed and said "Uh, for one: That is one of her biggest hits. Of course she would perform it along with her other hits. And two: she was incredibly subtle. There was no crazy theatrics, no overt political message, no "Fuck Trump, tear down the wall," nothing that people were expecting. She killed it and there isn't really anything political about her performance to rail against."
That hasn't been stopping some people though. Must be that 'outrage culture' that people are always outraged about.

The irony in comments from people wishing the company goes out of business on the premise that they may hire immigrants when apparently they desperately want the jobs themselves is some ultra head spinning shit.

The sentiment that's been getting stated, quoted, repeated and paraphrased since the Super Bowl has been something along the lines of

"It says something about how terrible Trump's reign has been when commercials promoting the most basic of American values are now seen as being radical left-wing anti-American propaganda."

Ironic that these companies stand behind basic patriotic American values and get shitted upon by the right wingers.

Let's call a spade a spade:

These Trump supporters have serious pathological projection issues. They subscribe to radical right-wing Anti-American propaganda that fashions itself after 1984 doublespeak.

That's just the cold hard truth of the matter.

Yeah, I feel like they don't know that those companies tend to own more than what they're known for. I expect about as much dedication to this boycott as a New Years resolution.

Hey look, sensitive snowflakes trying to get outraged at anything and everything that isn't explicitly pandering to them specifically. I thought that was what they derided about "tumblr types"?

as a point of reference, Gaga is currently #1 on iTunes (she has been since her Super Bowl performance) and a bunch of her other songs are in the top10 (total of 5 songs in the iTunes top10)... which is to say Trump supporters "vowing" to "boycott" anything is a laugh and usually only serves the opposite effect by making them more popular/successful.

To be fair, I'm still pissed at Budweiser for that asinine "REAL AMERICAN BEER FOR REAL MEN" commercial from Super Bowl 2016.

Their 2017 commercial was better though, unless you're the sort of person who gets easily offended at seeing immigrants on-screen.

... Trump supporters want to boycott Lady Gaga?

Two things.

First, I strongly believe that the majority of Trump supporters already didn't like Lady Gaga.

Second, she did absolutely nothing anti-Trump last night. I mean, literally nothing. What are they angry about?

The Lady Gaga show was so innocuous that I thought it couldn't possibly ruffle anyone's feathers. But of course, some Trumpsters are always ready to show me that I'm too generous a judge of character.

All because they aparently promoted some Anti-Trump message through commercials or backing Lady Gaga's half time show.

CNN has more including sample tweets and company responses:

Boycott me if old.

The worst IMO is Coca Cola. That ad has been running since 2014 and they want to boycott it because it features people singing "America the Beautiful" in different languages? GTFO.

They wanna call out safe spaces and people who can't take divergent opinions and need echo chambers, but cry boycott over commercials that show the principles this country was founded on. Tiniest violin.

I felt Lady Gaga handled her Trump protest well. It was classy and it pushed what's supposed to be the better part of American ideals.
The fact it enrages Trumpites is hilarious. Hannity was probably so pissed waiting for some big vulgar fuck you to Trump.

Grandfathers on the more conservative side in his 80s but managed to convince him pre election with the assistance of Trumps behavior to not vote for Trump. He enjoyed Lady Gages performance and even complimented it a few times.

You really got to be a hateful pile of shit to come away offended by Gagas performance
