WV did a drag queen event once therefore WV bad.
The obsession over gays, trans people, drag queens, to the point where it is the sole focus of the party, is just aiding in your quick, spiraling descent into the dustbin of history.
Equal or more force. Push back as hard or harder than the wokeness is pushing the alphabet agenda. And they are pushing it hard.
Push back what? Just don’t buy one of their cars so some drag queen doesn’t get a fraction of a penny from the sale. You did it, you beat the system, culture warrior. Here’s your smiley face sticker big boy.
what the fuck does this even mean? nobody has an alphabet agenda, we just want to fucking live without the harassment from you idiots. chill the fuck out.
You, yourself, miss the point by focusing on the drag. Why use a bunch of dudes dressed as chicks to “celebrate” women when they could have ACTUAL women do it?
You’ve gotta be kidding me with this crap. Also didn’t you already write this same stupid article like two days ago?
The entire right wing is on repeat 24/7/365 about gays, trans people and drag queens “grooming” kids by merely existing. That’s the run of the mill stuff. Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles are straight up pushing genocidal rhetoric. They’re even copying their Nazi buddies with the “you wanted this war” line.
But we are grooooomerrrrrrrrrr perverts!! We are letting adult men marry underage girls, forcing young girls to carry their rapist’s baby, lowering the age for child labor in Arkansas, making teenage girls tell the school officials when they get their periods… oh wait
You have to be kidding me with this garbage. By all means, debate whether this is a good deal. But ESG, China, and “woke-ism” have nothing to do with it either way.
“EVs continue to struggle with component sourcing and flat-to-decreasing sales demand” – is that not opening the door for debate about this being a good/bad deal?
“….perhaps it would be wise to deliberate and have a thoughtful discussion about the potential ramifications (good and bad) for South Carolina if this deal is passed” is literally what the author wrote. Did you even read past the drag show paragraph??
The General Assembly of SC is consistently rated as the least conservative Republican legislature in the country.
They are beholden to WOKE corporations, the education establishment and the Biden Administration for money and all the WOKE strips that come with it.
Conservatism, as a political force is dead. Hopefully, the voters will wake up nd thow the RINO Republicans out of office.
What does “woke” mean?
Anything outside of a white supremacist wet dream.
LMAO WOW…….ignoramuses abound
Being woke is the same as being empathetic, but for people who can’t spell empathetic.
Define “woke”
OK Gr@@mer, do as you please. But if you diddle with my kids you will regret it.
Don’t worry, no one is taking your job from you.
Wonder which big money corporations and PACs actually run this “Mom and Pop” club fur dummies?
Would be mega ironic if they got millions from the Walton family.
The Mom and Pop Alliance doesn’t weigh in on social issues.
But it sure does drop the buzz-words and catch-phrases the right uses to demonize those whose main motivation isn’t the almighty buck.
The Freedom Caucus kept talking about the mom and pop shops when they debated this on the House floor, and they also used the same buzz words. She’s not very politically savvy if she’s in bed with those clowns. Her legislative priorities will go nowhere quickly.
It is extraordinary how stupid the author is. Back in my day….
Someone needs to send this dunce a telegraph – BMW is building a $1.7 Billion EV Battery plant in Upstate SC as I dip my quill.
Too dumb for public comment.
The BMW deal in the early 90s was transformative to the Upstate….but didn’t cost the State anything close to 1.3 BILLION. There does come a point in which the competitive incentive deal gets too rich in return for the promised return. I know there are claw back provisions, but they don’t mean much because they’ve never been used in the past to any meaningful point for those deals in which the recipient didn’t deliver the jobs and development as promised. In some cases we never really knew if the recipient met their metrics – we kinda shrugged and stuck our heads in the sand. Its not crazy to say: “Woah, lets pump the brakes here a little bit and talk about this.” Anybody saying otherwise, and trying to ram this through and shut down just a bit of thoughtful discussion is obviously a paid shill for a lobbyist. Like over half of the new faces on this commentary thread. I’m not necessarily for or against this deal….BECAUSE SO FEW SPECIFIC DETAILS ARE KNOWN. And its OK that we didn’t know alot before very recently because Commerce has to operate in a very competitive environment. The Senate needs to take their time on this, the local community needs to be fully heard, the news media needs time to do its job of scrutiny. SLOW DOWN, TAKE YOUR TIME, GET THIS RIGHT, and don’t be afraid to walk away from a bad deal, or require a better deal.
Asking for time to discuss was not unreasonable on a $1.3 billion dollar deal, yet they passed it out of the Senate in less than 24 hours. That should tell us something. Through both the SC House and the Senate in just under 2 weeks!
Telling and beyond disappointing.
