I would wager that McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s, and even Cracker Barrel have diversity and inclusion officers. (perhaps by a different name). When CVS decided to stop selling tobacco products Fox news tried to make it into part of the culture war. This was before woke was a thing, but they tried framing it as CVS denying American’s their God given smokes instead of framing it as a company’s right to sell what they want to sell. ---

The folks who believe abortion is literal murder. Their claim is that the US Government gave unambiguous approval to the deliberate murder of over 50,000,000 helpless babies… and in their next breath would complain that you don’t love this country as much as they do. ---

Agreed, because it’s so fucking black and white. And the consequences are so vast. ---

(perhaps by a different name). Not Cracker Barrel! [It’s fallen!](https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/what-does-cracker-barrel-has-fallen-mean-and-has-it-really-fallen) For me, the answer to the OP is probably SCOTUS. But there are so many examples of the right having it both ways in a “heads I win, tails you lose” type of hypocrisy, it’s difficult to rank them. Beyond the courts, I’d say the vaccine/abortion issue mentioned upthread gets me the maddest. Seeing “My body, my choice” when it comes to vaccines but not abortion choice boils my blood. ---
