Freedom fries have entered the chat
If I remember correctly the freedom fries became a thing when the French criticized Bushes war in Iraq.
Indeed. That was over 20 years ago. But Republicans were already master hypocrites back then.
I was working for a place that sold ice cream and had one of those signs you need a long pole to change the lettering on to advertise various things. We'd just put up one for our French vanilla ice cream the day before, and by the day after we had so many angry calls that we changed it.
Absolutely mind boggling.
People that think Trump turned the republicans party into the garbage pile that it is will be surprised to know it started much earlier than that. Trump just recognized he could use this garbage pile to gain power.
And don't forget that the Dixie Chics got canceled hardcore for coming out against bush. I don't think they ever recovered.
I remember all the radio stations in Texas refused to play their music. Bush was such huge asshole and he was my governor. He fucked Texas up so bad and yet they made him president also by a coup by the way. Al Gore won.
Yup, typical cpnaervatives doing literal canceling while calling any criticism of them as 'cancel culture'. Bunch of projecting hypocrites.
Hard to say what the arc of their careers would have been. But it absolutely cut the band's career short. They did go on to be moderately successful individually at least IIRC. I hate most country music of the last 30 to 40 years. They're absolutely one of the few outside Johnny, Dolly, and Willie I respect.
