And now there is an anti-Trump ice cream flavor.
Ben
& Jerry’s took to Facebook recently to proudly announce: “Today we launch
Pecan Resist! This flavor supports groups creating a more just and equitable
nation for us all, and who are fighting President Trump’s regressive agenda.” The
manifesto went on to say, “We cannot be silent in the face of the President’s
policies that attack and attempt to roll back decades of progress on racial and
gender equity, climate change, LGBTQ rights, and refugee and immigrant
rights—all issues that have been at the core of our social mission for 40
years.”
This is a stupefying—and stultifying—claim.
Go back even one decade and gay
marriage wasn’t allowed. Trump has never tried to elicit support for the repeal
of Obergefell v. Hodges. Gay marriage is the law of the land now. Progressives
like Barack Obama have done the most to sabotage racial and gender relations.
Climate change is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated by mankind…on mankind.
LGBTQ “rights” have never been broader, stronger, or more mainstream then they
are today. Illegal immigrants have no “right” to break the law and invade a
sovereign nation like the United States.
A
portion of the proceeds from sales of the new social-justice-warrior ice cream,
whose carton features a design by California-based activist Favianna Rodriguez,
will go to help support four radical leftist organizations: Color of Change,
Women’s March, NETA (an entity that provides “medical” marijuana to New England
dispensaries), and Honor the Earth.
This is
not the first time that the wholly-owned subsidiary of the foreign
(Anglo-Dutch) firm Unilever has utilized a frozen dairy product in an attempt
to bolster a “progressive” cause. To celebrate the legalization of same-sex
marriage in the United States in 2015, Ben & Jerry’s relabeled its
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream “I Dough, I Dough.”
I know,
I know. I think. WTF? It’s a good thing the company isn’t in charge of naming
anything that matters.
What
virtue-signaling faux flavor will the company roll out next? I, for one, am
keen to guess:
*The
People’s Pistachio?
*Marxist
Maple Nut?
*French
(Revolution) Vanilla?
*Che’s
Chocolate Chip?
*Lenin’s
Luscious Lemon-Lime?
*The
Ends Justify the Means I Scream?
*From
Each According To His Ability, To Each According To His Needs Neopolitan?
What if
there existed a conservative ice cream maker that wanted to get in everyone’s
face…literally and figuratively? Would we see “flavors” such as:
*Wild
Barry’s Single-Payer Cookie Dough
*Pocahontas
Pecan
*Big
Fucking Deal Double-Dip
*Lock
Her Up Butterscotch
*Idiot
Ice
*Socialists
Suck Strawberry
*Progressives
Lead Us Down A Rocky Road
*Bill Clinton
Popped My Cherry Surprise
*Save
America Salted Pretzel Supreme
Leftists
will do anything to aid their cause,
as I’ve said many times before. Absolutely
anything. If it means weaponizing ice
cream so be it. “Pecan Resist?”
That’s truly
nuts.
