Walmart heiress Christy Walton is facing backlash, and Walmart is facing some calls for a boycott from Trump supporters after placing a full-page ad in The New York Times urging Americans to attend town halls and engage in civic discourse.

While the "No Kings Day" ad did not mention President Donald Trump by name, its emphasis on values like honoring commitments to allies, defending against dictators, and respecting trading partners was widely interpreted as a critique of Trump's foreign policy and "America First" agenda.

Imagine being so intelkectuslly and ethically bankrupt that you'd want to boycott s store chain because someone involved in it dared to run an ad promoting "values like honoring commitments to allies, defending against dictators, and respecting trading partners."

So now, to the MAGAs, honor, integrity, liberty and respect are evils that must be opposed in favor of Trump's ideals of dishonor, dishonesty, tyranny and disrespect

Seriously, I expect that future histories are going to record that the US collapsed in an inexplicable avalanche of stupidity and insanity.

I know, it's the best, two birds with one stone
