They want to support corporations and corporate authoritarianism. That will lead them to asking their viewers to patronize UA in a show of support.

But as most Faux viewers never travel more than 15 miles from their homestead, it's hard for them to book a ticket on UA. Where are they going to go? Europe? The liberal coasts? Nuh-uh.

It's the same situation as tRump supporters boycotting Nordstrom's for dropping Ivanka's crap. Is it a boycott if you never shop there in the first place?

Most of those knuckle dragging FAUX dupers can't afford air travel and most assuredly do NOT shop at Nordstrom. I'd call it a faux boycott.
