I just had an idea…. this is based on a post I saw on another site about a redneck losing his mind and temper because a beloved brand of his has apparently “gone woke”.

(reposting from boingboing)

Die-hard whiskey lover destroys collection in viral video, slams Jack Daniels for going "woke"

A die-hard Jack Daniels fan made a video of himself throwing away his prized memorabilia collection in protest of what he perceives as the brand "going woke." The man, a self-proclaimed supporter of Jack Daniels for over 40 years opens with an explanation of his loyalty to the whiskey brand, saying, "As you all know, I am the biggest advocate and supporter of Jack Daniels whiskey. Have been for 40 years of my life if not longer. Here's the deal. You went woke."

And the best part...watching the tantrum go down...

But what really got me thinking is…. what if it were possible to make say, Ruger, or Colt, or Winchester….any gun manufacturer really… make THEM appear to be “woke” and try to solicit more of these backward-ass morons to throw away and break all their toys. If this overalls-clad gem of intellectualism is any indication, maybe we could actually get some traction on gun reform. (since a governor’s friend getting killed this morning isn’t going to get any action)
