Knit pickers.
Ravelry, A Website For Knitting Fans, Banned Posts Supporting Donald Trump
They don't oppose conservative ideas, just hateful ones. and that leaves the president out. They make a valid distinction, for the most part. Anyone espousing a conservative idea that Trump happens to support, well, just leave him out it.
This made The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight. Cute bit. He highlighted a 5 deferment cadet fake bone spurs supporters comment to the decision "Kill yourselves".
How is that witty though? It's just dark.
That was just one part of the sketch. A lot of combining knitting and political commentary. The "kill yourselves" was really out of place when referencing a knitting community even if they banned white supremacist 5 deferment cadet fake bone spurs supporters.
Kids and their comedy shows today. I just don't get it.

Colbert rocks!
That's some hyperbolic slippery-slope bull****.
Also inaccurate as well.
There is plenty of association going on.
Trump supporters are not banned from the site.
Just Trump supporting posts, etc.
How ****ing hard can it be to participate in a knitting forum without praising Trump?
Not every corner of our lives needs political discussion.
And the bottom line is Trump is divisive, and he loves it. He encourages it. And his followers love him for it.
You might have made a reasonable point about our political environment, but you said instead, "Just another example of the dismantling of the country by the leftists." which is just the kind of BS that a knitting site doesn't need. There's no self reflection, no acknowledgement at all that maybe, maybe....Trump himself plays some role in this. No, you went straight to blaming it all on the "LEFTISTS!!!"
BTW the capper to this nonsense is your threats of violence if presumably the "leftists" don't change their ways. You couldn't make the knitting website's point better if you tried.
He's definitely divisive and loves the controversy but he's not come close to the divisiveness that the left is enacting. You have elected officials, no...not Trump, calling for their political opponents to be harassed in public. Trump hasn't pulled anything close to that crap.
Agreed...yet all venues are filling up with political activism. We can't enjoy movies without being preached at. We can watch sports games without someone turning it into a protest. Ah...but you see...this is all good so long as the speech and protests are all going in one direction, the one favored by the left.

Oh really?
Not good with me, but I guess it might be for your imaginary friends. Perhaps you should address your point to them.
OK, I'm going to end it here because there's no point continuing. You're just going to blame the left, and excuse Trump. The quotes in this cartoon are all accurate. See the link for sources and video.

You can end it here, but I won't. Your quotes are from a response to people coming to his event, and the event of everyone who spent their time and money to get there, to disrupt it. An event that's integral to the political process of our democratic systems. If we were to make a comparison to say....a gay wedding going down and protesters entered the wedding service to yell, scream, and disrupt the wedding, I'd not only be OK with people saying those things, but would be 100% OK of some people in attendance punched them straight in the face. That's their event.
This is entirely different than telling people to go out into various public areas to find and harass members of the opposing political party merely for having a different political ideology.
And that's not even all of it.
It's enough for the rebuttal, but there's already more, and there will be more still, because that's the kind of scum he is.
Unless they ban all political speech, it looks like the free speech hating illiberals are bringing us closer and closer to the Supreme Court ruling that addresses this kind of outrageous censorship.
Behavior, meet consequences.
Simply more evidence of liberal herd-mentality at work. Trump Bhaaaaaad!
"You must either accept everything or nothing," interesting assertion.
What authority does SCOTUS claim over Ravelry.com's moderation rules?
Yet that's the dynamic we have.

So it's okay to beat the crap out of someone disrupting his event. How dare they! Freedom of speech is only for those who can afford to pay for the microphone.
WHAT.
THE.
****?
What the actual **** do you think the SCotUS is going to do about this blogger's decision about her site?
Do you actually think the Supreme Court of the United States of America is going to tell some blogger what sorts of comments she can have on her site?
Sure, knitting older ladies are a hotbed of liberals :lamo
And the OP said they had no issue with conservative ideas, just not Trump mentions.
Also, for the umpteenth time, the knitting website is a private webforum, it can allow and disallow ANYTHING they want. I am sorry but the Supreme Court has no say over a knitting webforum.
The 1st often applies to private companies.
I am heartily disappointed you're not going to explain how the SCotUS would come to rule on whether or not a knitting blogger can pick and choose which comments appear on her blog.
