[@tdestroyer4780]

@@TheCreationOfBirds Notice how they don't show you the comments so you can decide for yourself if they were threats? That's how they manipulate the public into thinking a certain way. By not showing all the data.

[@casey7409]

​@@TheCreationOfBirds In what way does it prove that she was right, just because someone receives death threats doesn’t make their position right, it just means the reaction is emotionally charged and unproductive, to claim that death threats validate an argument makes no sense, it’s an appeal to consequence, assuming an idea is correct simply because it provokes a strong reaction, ideas are validated by facts, logic, and reason, not by how much noise they stir up

[@casey7409]

​@@TheCreationOfBirdsIf someone threatens violence, that's not proof that their target’s argument is valid, it just shows that the person threatening lacks a reasoned response. The florist’s decision to deny service could be morally wrong, regardless of the threats they received, because moral decisions are about fairness and rights, not about responding to emotional reactions like threats.

[@TheCreationOfBirds]

@casey7409 she does whatever she wants. She does not have to serve you if she does not want to. 'trump supporter' is not a protected category. Refusing to serve trump supporters is legal. Issuing death threats because you don't like her decision is not legal. But she does understand who she has to deal with as the reaction is exactly what we could expect from trump supporters.

[@SeeTooStein]

Huh. I didn't see any verification of those death threats. Why didn't they report the actual comments or do any investigation on maybe phone calls that were placed? How does fhe media think that this is ok? To just do a story based on internet insanity, and call it good. They did absolutely no investigation or follow up on the business owner's claims. Didn't find the client who made the order and was refused. It's shoddy work.

[@sandrawadsworth5173]

Sometimes airing political views on social media may not produce the desired outcome.

[@amandawolfe1054]

It was extremely moronic as a business owner, on her part. Especially since Tennessee is a very 🔴 state, despite the major cities here TN; particularly after this latest election. I believe she thought since she was in a 🔵 city she wouldn't lose so much of her business, even though shes in a red state; I believe she found out that wasn't the case. Businesses and business owners shouldn't get politcal, and this business is a great example as to why.

[@dkg2894]

Imagine working hard to open up a business of your own, only to put it in jeopardy by going on social media and voicing your refusal to serve a customer just because your preferred political candidate lost. Someone who doesn't even know you exist. I'm no business owner but you'd think common sense would come along with the territory. (And no, she shouldn't have received death threats and whoever sent those threats over some flowers are morons)

[@bridgettstephens5582]

"I'll show them". Next stop bankruptcy court.

[@alexduke5402]

We all know who sent those messages. Registered democrats

[@amandawolfe1054]

The moron said she wouldn't do business with Trump supporters while living in Tennessee, an extremely 🔴 state (especially after the recent election). As a Tennessean myself, I believe she has a right to state her opinion, but to say you won't do business with Trump voters in an extremely 🔴 state is moronic; it's moronic period to alienate half your customer base, as a business owner, no matter where you live. As for the death threats, I kinda doubt she received actual death threats, and if she did, I want to know how many and where they came from; do I believe she potentially got some nasty emails regarding her stance on not doing business with Trump voters, sure. But I'm doubtful of the death threats; I think she got an immediate response to her public stance, and she immediately began to feel financial consequences of said stance.

The difference between Sweet Cheeks Bakery and this Florist is that while the lefty customer sued the bakery out of business, the florist wasn't sued by the Trump customer.

Discrimination

[@davidbudka1298]

There is a danger in what she is doing. She is saying, “There is only one way to look at politics, and you have no choice in the matter.” Also, by making the broad presumption that she made, she created an unsafe environment for herself, her family, and her employees. Not everybody who voted for Trump necessarily likes him. Unfortunately, Democrats have not managed the country very well, and display their rigid and hateful ideologies. They have made some serious economic and social mistakes. Democrats need to be more flexible with people. They failed at being genuinely liberal.
