I’ll smash my coffee maker. That’ll show ’emby digby

Kuerig coffee and some others decided not to advertise on Sean Hannity’s show after he stood up for Roy Moore. That made Sean’s fans very angry. So they decided they would destroy their own coffee makers.
Gizmodo reports:

This predictably escalated even further and now Twitter is filled with amazing videos of right-wingers smashing their costly home coffee machines. The intent is apparently to intimidate Keurig into once again sponsoring Hannity’s show, lest he fall victim to the same fate that awaited accused abuser Bill O’Reilly.

Other people who shot the videos appear to be under the impression that destroying the Keurigs will make liberals angry, instead of belly-laughing at the view of conservatives destroying their own coffee machines in a fit of impotent rage.

This video, in which a dude tosses one of the machines from a second-story balcony before shouting “Hope you’re happy, Keurig,” is a particularly good reminder that humans evolved from primates.

Also, here’s a person who tried to jump on the bandwagon by throwing out some trash.

Love it.

Social media users getting real mad and posting videos of themselves destroying things they already own is just one of the many dumb political stunts that have increasingly become a staple of (mostly far-right) Twitter.

You’d better start advertising again or I’ll destroy my own stuff seems like a weird thing to do to me, but it certainly seems like something that Hannity’s viewers would think makes sense. After all, they watch Hannity.
