"Cancel culture" lmao. Dude used his position as a pillow salesman to spread conspiracy theories and now has to bear the consequences.

Really funny how they always talk about cancle culture but they are always the ones calling for boycotting.
If they didn't have projection, hypocrisy, and a perpetual victim complex would they really be MAGA Republicans anymore?
It's unreal how the "Party of Personal Responsibility" is chock full of people who NEVER accept the consequences of their actions...
*cankle culture
That's not entirely true. I boycott places I don't agree with all of the time. Be it religious views that affect policy, political views, or a range of others things, there's almost always an alternative that I'd rather give my money to.
Is it a boycott if it's just me participating?
No, it isn't just you. "Cancel Culture" is another of those pejoritive terms the right is so fond of. Making decisions about where to spend your money based on the behavior of the companies is a one of the few ways we have to influence corporations (and politicians).
The extreme right seems to have given up o boycotts and moved on to direct physical attacks as their preferred methods of influence.
Lindell was ordered to pay $5 million to a man who won a “Prove Mike Wrong” contest at his 2021 “cyber-symposium” where he challenged experts to examine his data, which he claimed proved Donald Trump really won the 2020 election.
It didn’t, and one expert who looked at the data demanded the prize.
Lindell refused to pay, so the case went to court, where he lost.
🤣
What's even better is that the guy in question - Robert Zeidman - is, in fact a Trump supporter. But as a data analytics engineer, he wasn't able to fool himself with bullshit data.
Yeah I seem to remember an NPR interview he did where they gave him "the packets" they captured of a malicious actor communicating with voting equipment and the files were Word documents that somebody typed a bunch of gibberish into and renamed the file extension.
"They did cancel culture on us." LOL Just pictured him with his hands in his pockets and kicking dirt while saying it.
It reminds me of the famous Napoleon quote.
Bro, you used your pillow sales to try and incite insurrection on the thinnest of bullshit data. The fact that the vast majority of folks with sense thought maybe you shouldn't have pillow sales to fund terrible ideas anymore is kinda on you.
As someone who has received one of his pillows as a gift, it does not surprise me in the least that the company is going under. Aside from his crazier than a shithouse rat politics, the lumpy sacks of industrial waste he passes off as pillows are the most uncomfortable thing I've ever laid my head on.
Awful news to receive right when Seth Meyers is on a strike.
1st thing that came to mind! Bummed we don't get to hear Seth's impersonation.
Really has been rough to have so much bad shit happen for the former president and not hear Seth or Colbert be able to enjoy it. Honestly 45 is so lucky the writers strike happened when it did. Hopefully it resolves before primary season heats up
Lindell was consequencelled
It's not cancel culture if everyone is just tired of your bullshit.
“I do every customer like my only customer and every employee like my only employee,” he told the station.
JFC he can’t even speak English.
If those computers that he's selling have hard drives in them, I'd be shocked if you couldn't recover something wild
The correct response to this is:
Lol
Lmao even.
Hilarious. And the lawsuit hasn't even happened yet, has it?
Well, one has. He had his cybersecurity symposium, where he showed the “evidence” that the election was stolen, and offered a $5 million prize to anyone who could prove him wrong. A cybersecurity expert took one look and showed him that his “evidence” didn’t say anything close to what he claimed and wanted his 5 mil. MyPillowFool refused to pay, security guy took him to court and won. Fool had to pay.
He still has the Big Daddy 1.3 billion (With a B) Dominion lawsuit pending though.
The fun part is that the cyber security expert is actually a Trump voter and was excited to vindicate the election meddling story.
I guess I will drink a Bud Light to celebrate.
Yeah, cancel culture was basically invented by the Christian right. Yet they have the audacity to complain about it!?
Their double standard is sickening.
"Ya mean I can't just say whatever?" -Mike Lindell
More like poor brand management. One of Mike's fans(seriously they wanted to tell me all about him) told me he was a reformed crack addict.
From what I've seen of him, he's definitely not reformed.
Pretty sure the story I heard is that one time while doing a lot of blow, he apparently scrawled "My Pillow!" on every surface in his kitchen (or bedroom? I forget). When he woke in the morning, he took it as a sign to start a pillow company and "find Jesus".
But I can't find a source for that story at this point, aside from saying he was a cocaine addict - that is pretty well documented.
Hey now, a porkchop sandwich has at least some merits.
Okay, I gotta ask this...
Does anyone else wonder why this guy sounds so incredibly constipated when he talks? It sounds like he's pushing soooo incredibly hard while trying to get the words out!
Who would have thought supporting a failed attempt at a dictatorship would be so unpopular?
Do we have selfawarewolves yet?
If it were cancel culture he would have gone out of business during COVID.
People who cry the loudest about cancel culture hate it because it works. Sorry. Maybe don't act like a clown and people won't shun you.
