Conservatives Predicted Barbie Would Flop. It's About to Make $1 Billion

Keep telling yourself that those things are the equivalent of the current 'woke movement'.

 

Exactly the same.

 

I have faith that the future generations won't surrender their freedoms as easily as you think.

 

Well, go ahead and name YOUR #1 woke agenda item/example... let's get it on the table.

What sets the steam coming out of your ears? Kneeling for the anthem? Teaching Black history? LGBTQ+ Cheez-Its (I LOVE that one)?

Certainly Ronald Meatball can't do it, so this gives you the chance to leapfrog his pathetic rhetoric....

 

What freedoms will they or anyone surrender?
This is a movie we're talking about.
1 that many of a certain group said would fail.

the biggest fear of conservatives is yet to come

the conservatives will begin to know fear when the taylor swift tour comes to an end

in a few years the millions of Swifts followers become voting age

if she ever decides to get political then it is "game over" for the right

how many of the dancers and backup people she just gave $55 million in bonuses to are gay??

ok the truck drivers may not be gay...but lots of dancers and choreographer's and musicians are gay

next time as a bonus all she has to do is speak out..her poltical influence could make $55 million into chump change

the Swifties make the trumpers and Qaloons look like the Dr Pepper compared to Coca Cola

the vacation destinations all over the world are down

why??

because Swift is draining the vacation budgets of millions of american families this summer

tickects alone are $1500 each.

when a guy is done sending his wife and 2 kids to the show, pay for travel and hotel and a T-shirt

he is down at least $10K...maybe next year he can buy that new boat..this year taylor got his budget

 

Taylor Swift has been labeled a super spreader because people are catching COVID at her concerts.

https://www.latimes.com/california/... been a handful,and elsewhere in recent weeks.

But, do you really think Taylor Swift fans will surrender their rights that easily?

 

What group? I don't even remember discussing it...lol

 

While it would be nice to believe-- your belief is hardly comforting. Maybe, in the long run, you are even correct but-- how long has "the War Against Drugs" lasted? Ah, but yes, after all these years, at least pot legality has come to some parts of the country; where some reactionary counter movements are already gathering steam. I'm afraid it is not very pragmatic, to just assume that reactionaries will fail because, well, they just have to. How's that reactionary Communist movement in Cuba going? Not very well, perhaps; but any who had merely assumed it would have to "fail," hopefully hadn't been holding their breath.

 

to answer your question in one word .."ABSOLUTLY"

what Taylor wants Taylor gets!! lol ..just ask the 250,000 people that show up at her concerts in each city she goes



and psst,,,Nobody wants to take away rights except the conservatives.

between banning a woman right to choose to changing history

whatever the liberals are doing is nothing..

the liberals are actually trying to protect current rights of Americans

yes liberals get pissed off when the conservatives make false accusations and tell outright lies ,

but, false accusations piss off everyone except the person or party doing the lying

 

I'm not saying the war will end. I'm only saying that reactionaries will lose. By which I mean they will lose every single battle. Of course, they will find NEW battles to fight. Every time there is progress, there will be resistance. So the war won't end because that would mean that progress has stopped. But, in the end, reactionaries will lose every single time...

 

250,000? Where did you get that bullshit from?...lol.

Her biggest show, ever, was 73,000.

You think all those fans are ready to surrender their gas stoves, gas cars, air-conditioning?

 

How can you possibly see the success of some goofy movie as a victory?...lol

 

Yeah, I read it. A smattering of allegedly "conservative' quotes, cherry picked by a uber-LW site.

 

lets see, she has 3 shows in most cities she plays...and thousands sit outside the venue just to sing along..math is a wonderful thing

one thing I learned long ago

people will buy what others are selling..no matter what it is

I used to go to estate auctions...people buy junk only because it is for sale

the ring man will put a pile of junk on the block and cannot get a bid..they just keep piling on the junk until it sells!! lol

most people insist on spending their money

a good salesman can sell ice to an Eskimo

if there is more profit in induction stoves, electric cars and cheap AC units

you can bet you ass that is what people will buy

the main reason is the production of the alternative old products will end

if they aint selling it you aint buying it

 

You can't accurately say that, about "every single battle." Had you not noticed, that the Roe v. Wade and Casey abortion decisions, had been overturned?

But I see no point in our turning this into too big of a disagreement. I will only suggest, that your assertion would be less patently false, if you replaced "battle"-- which, of course, reactionaries often have won, and do win-- with a word like "campaign," which suggests a longer timeline, in which the victor could certainly suffer defeats and setbacks, along the path to ultimate victory.

 

You're still 40,000 people short, AT BEST...lol

If the government outlaws gas stoves, gas water heaters, gas dryers, gasoline cars and air conditioners, the consumers won't be buying a ****ing thing...lol

 

This movie is nothing I've felt any desire to see, but my 84 year old mother saw it and enjoyed it very much-- so it can't be "woke" in too aggressively obvious of a way, that can't be overlooked by someone who still holds ideas of propriety, based in the 1950s.

 

Ok. You won ..73,000 x 3 = 219,000. I won’t try to guess how many thousand sit outside the stadiums for sing alongs

don’t worry about the government banning products. They don’t have to. The gas stove companies and gas heater companies and and gas car companies will just make what is most profitable ..if there is more money in electric the electric is what they will sell ..tankless hot water heaters are used all over the world and I just installed one to save space on a small apartment AC units have went down in price like a color TV. Used to only the well off had Color tv and AC ..now these items are common place

You can accept progress and be happy or not accept progress and be miserable

but regardless

you can’t stop progress

 

It might be slightly off topic, but I asked an Ai chatbot to write a Barbie movie directed by Christopher Nolan. Where would be a good place to post it?

 

Those people are people conservatives hold in high regard. Musk, gaetz, Shapiro. Fox news had a few segments on it.

Cons can never accept they were wrong. " oh those people aren't even true conservatives..."

 

Nonsense.

 

Nobody discussed it hardly. It was a big budget movie with massive marketing and highly anticipated.

There was no mass discussion about it being woke like lefties would have you believe in this thread.

This is nothing more than the left being desperate for something woke to not be a disaster so they are pretending that everybody on the right was saying it would flop when they can only produce a couple people.

 

Fox gave conservatives plenty of air time to trash on barbie. The OP lists more than a couple of people. An entire network was pushing barbie as woke.
