| (Poster did this on June 7,2021) [America Conservative] If conservatives can't even boycott Bezos, our defeat will be as inevitable as it is deserved. At this very moment, all across the country, a hundred thousand tongues are wagging about the state of the conservative movement. I'm sorry to say, they wag in vain. There is no conservative movement in America. There never has been, and I doubt there ever will be. Of course, there are folks who call themselves conservatives, and some even do a passable impression. But whether or not they’re really conservatives, they’re certainly not a movement. I’d say that movement is the thing we want most from conservatives, and the last thing we’re likely to get. It’s funny, when you think about it. Our friends on the left are still in a tizzy about the Capitol Hill "insurrection." Meanwhile, here in New Hampshire, a man being charged in the riots is planning to run for Congress. "Despite my ongoing legal problems, I’m supposed to live my best life," Jason Riddle told NBC. When asked why he broke into the Capitol, Mr. Riddle said, "I just had to see it." His home was raided by the FBI after he posted a photo of himself drinking a bottle of wine he stole from a (Republican) senator’s office. Not exactly Che Guevara, is he? No, I’m afraid those who fear an imminent right-wing coup give us too much credit. Watching Fox News, posting Ben Shapiro quotes on Facebook, and casting the occasional ballot: that’s pretty much the extent of our activism. And that, if you’re wondering, is why conservatives always lose. It’s why we’ll go on losing until the last Bible-thumping, MAGA-hatted redneck in Georgia dyes his hair blue, cuts off his penis, and starts calling himself Cheryl. We deserve to lose. And, when we do, we’ll have no one to blame but ourselves. |

| #6 I use Amazon's database to shop, then buy the item somewhere else, even the manufacturer. You can get almost anything somewhere else besides Amazon. Just because Google shows Amazon first after you search for something doesn't mean you have to buy it from Amazon. And it wasn't Parler that decided me against Amazon, it was the Washington Post coverage of the Covington Kids. Bezos is a bad guy and he deserves to lose business if that's how he's going to use his power. |

| #4 fixed while I was commenting. We aim to please. :-) Gleans McGurque6319 was just a little careless with the highlight thingy — it was an easy fix. |

| #3 Amazon, Walmart, all the 'big stores' are totally dependent upon open interstate commerce. If things go 'hot', that will be one of the major casualties in the event. So, why do they play with fire? /rhet question |

| #1 Too much yellow highlight. I couldn't possibly delete my Prime account, since my wife would disown me. But I do better than that: I use Amazon's database to shop, then buy the item somewhere else, even the manufacturer. |
