1. Trump and Republicans gave the Neo-Nazis free reign to unleash their hate

It's no different than what happened in Nazi Germany. Berlin was full of gay bars and clubs until the Nazis rose up, shut down everything related to LGBTQ life, and set LGBTQ books on fire. The population took that as permission to start going after minorities.

5. WERE GONNA NEED TO FIGHT

this is why we need to be vigilant to their evil

2. We don't take hate in this country seriously enough.

It's way past time to start remedying that.

4. Limbaugh and his disgusting ilk normalized it.

3. Who sent them is the question?

6. Small hate-filled minorities cannot be allowed to dictate the products we buy and books we read

I suppose we tried it back in the day ... Florida Orange Juice Anita Bryant .... but boycotting is one's right to spend as they wish. Targeting stores at the local level is something else. If these people break laws they should face the consequences.

7. IT's time...

..to start arresting the bigots who threaten employees. Give them nice, long jail sentences. This shit will stop will quick.

8. Guess what, Target. I'm upset too, albeit for different reasons.

Your track record was spotty to begin with, as I’ve seen videos for years now of insane customers running roughshod over your own employees and pestering all & sundry passersby by being their assholish selves. It’s moved into threats of violence now, and I haven’t read squat about calling the cops at the very least. I can buy stuff from lots of different places, and Target doesn’t have to be one of them. I will spend my money with merchandisers who don’t expose their employees to nut jobs on a rampage.

9. There are days when I want to gather a small crowd and protest certain hate-filled churches on

Sunday mornings. Carrying signs calling them sanctimonious and heretics.

10. I'd join you in the fun

Just carry signs with our very own cherry picked bible verses.

Maybe a couple of ten commandment verses

And a WHOLE lot of New Testament ones. Jesus would be proud to be recognized as a humanitarian and not what the Paulians worship.


It might have an impact, but they’d probably call the enforcers on us.

11. If threatened, call the police and prosecute

12. Ever heard of the Ku Klux Klan?

Hate isn't a new thing in this country.

13. If they don't agree with Target they shouldn't shop there

I don't agree with Hobby Lobby or Chick-Fila so I don't patronize the businesses. I don't threaten their employees.
