They remind me of the Starbucks warriors whose huge outrage at tax avoidance amounted to buying their coffee elsewhere for about a week. They sure do talk lots of talk but rarely seem to back it up with anything meaningful and put their money where their mouth is.
Demanding Trump's removal whilst turning a blind eye to China's civil rights and other abuses (which are far worse than anything he's done) is frankly pathetic.

I still refuse to use Starbucks..Don't be so dismissive of those who do try to pay our pennies to organisations that play fair and not to those who don't.

Besides this gets a bit whataboutery if the respond to complaints about Trump are to say 'well what about China'?
