I can't cancel Facebook because I don't have an account. I won't watch Roseanne, but I don't watch that kind of TV anyway. I've never eaten at a Chick-fil-a, and it's been years since I've ordered out (or in) Pizza from a chain.

Really, I'm a normal guy, but suddenly with all the boycotts I don''t feel that way.

I felt like I was the only person that couldn't stand that show. She has ALWAYS been obnoxious. My whole family watched and loved it, and I would sit there and think, "She's horrible, and this is not funny, or poignant, or whatever the hell they're going for here." Then I'd have to go to my room and read, since I was always outvoted on what to watch.

there sure as hell isn't anything endearing about her, and now, as others have said, she's a Trump humper.

I really don't get her appeal. And now that she is a Trump lover, she is even less appealing.

But, unlike Carroll O'Conner, she really believes the vile, racist bullshit she's spouting on TV.

male demographic. Plus, the CEO of Hardee's and Carl's Jr is Andrew Puzder, who Trump nominated to head Dept of Labor. He withdrew after his scuzzy past business dealings got too much publicity.

of a lot os washed-up entertainers--musicians turn to Christian music and/or become ministers, and unfunny comics like Joe Piscopo, Dennis Miller, Victoria Jackson and now Roseann turn into Deplorables.

Charming.

and don't let Pox Noise stay on the TV in waiting rooms and banks and restaurants. Had one restaurant reject my request, explaining that the owner mandated that front flat-screen ALWAYS be tuned to Pox Noise. So we don't go eat there anymore.

Her defense in-show of the orange-tinted fascist in the first episode was eye-roll inducing, but after that it was the same sitcommy stuff of 20 years ago.

Watching or not watching has no tangible effect y'know, unless you're a Nielsen participant.

Funny, feminist, and creative. I also liked the Halloween episodes of her earlier show. But I won’t watch Trumpsters.

It is astonishing to me not just that she has supported him but that others in the ensemble (Darlene, Jackie, Dan, etc.) don’t find the views too hard to work Ekland with.
