It's just like the County Govt in NC who just announced they are banning (canceling) Coke product vending machines from all govt buildings. It was obviously a well-thought-out response (DWS) to Coke CEO James Quincey opposing the GA GOP bill and advocating for MORE inclusion in the voting process.
Strange how 5 Commissioners in a 3-2 vote decide to CANCEL a product headquartered in a neighboring state because they feel that somehow protesting against SUPPRESSING the vote in that state is an example of "cancel culture". Maybe they should look up the term "unintentional irony".
And I'm not sure exactly what they feel Quincey is "canceling", since the Legislators enacting this law are basically demonstrating a partisan attempt to regulate the voting procedures of a slight majority of citizens who voted against them, and they in NO WAY represent... I think Commissioner Harris (unintentionally) outs himself...
"In the letter to Quincey, Harris said the beverage company supports "the out-of-control cancel culture and bigoted leftist mob" when it chooses the social issues it wants to speak up about". He also refers to Coke as "favoring the Democrat party", which is a strange admission coming from someone accusing others of a Partisan bias.
I mean the people of GA ELECTED in STATEWIDE elections a Democrat for POTUS, as well as BOTH US Senators. None of the people in GA who drafted and supported this bill were elected statewide by ALL of the voters in GA, and NONE are Democrats. So exactly WHICH people of GA is this bill REPRESENTING, because it sure doesn't represent the majority of folks who just voted...
"Our Board felt that was the best way to take a stand and express our disappointment in Coca-Cola's actions," a Surry County commissioner wrote in a letter to the company's CEO.

This is almost as ironic as CoH using the words of a man like Niemoller who was basically decrying the effects of xenophobic fascism and ultra Nationalism in defense of people who are so xenophobic that they hate outsiders. They are also big on using terminology to define people they hate when it's clear they really don't even know what that terminology actually means...
I mean the first group that Niemoller even mentions are "socialists". Is there anything a Trump cultist hates more than a socialist, even though they couldn't accurately define "socialism" if their life depended on it? You know uber-rich "socialists" like Soros, Gates, etc... Heck Soros ticks the box for #3 as well- a twofer...
"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
And let's be honest, their hatred for "trade unionists" and Jews (except Israelis) isn't too far behind...
Why are Pubs NEVER in favor of INCLUSION, when it comes to involving people in the political (voting) process? Of course, that's a rhetorical (trick) question...
