Today in Social Protest: More Idiots

You may have read about advertisers pulling their ads from Sean Hannity's show (and what took them so long?). The first was Keurig, which produces coffee makers and accessories. This is what passes for a boycott among the trumpanzees:
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.

There are videos at the link, which for some reason I can't embed this morning.

So, smashing a coffee maker that you've bought and paid for as a protest against the manufacturer is really going to -- do what? Prove that you broke one of your two remaining brain cells?
