    The OP is far too long to read...can you give us the 140 character version that your president would use?

    OP- This poster is what sent things too far?  But Donny’s racist and misogynistic behavior you support?  Just seems a bit hypocritical. It blows my mind any PJ fan is surprised by this poster.

    Well written and thought out.  Sorry to see you go.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    The OP didn't demand that the band or poster artists change their ideas or designs to make her happy.  She just said that she was walking away, that she was removing herself instead of forcing others to conform to what she wanted.  I don't see any problem with handling things that you disagree with in this way.

    This is relatively hard for me because Pearl Jam means so much to me.  But enough is enough.  It is time for me to #walkaway.  Monday’s poster that depicts a dead president Trump in front of the white house being picked apart by a bald eagle is too much for me.  I have been adamant fan since ‘discovering’ pearl jam for myself around 2008 (I literally have the entire catalog) and fell in love with all of it.  And I will always appreciate the band’s music and all of the tough times in my life their great music has gotten me through.  But I will not stand by or support this band’s hatred for the President of the United States of America.  He won the election people. Get over it.  Now, I am not on social media in any form, and I hardly ever post here.  But no one can silence me (and I am not a Russian bot).  I am a 2 time Obama voter.  I had hope for change, and now my hope HAS changed.  Being born into a fatherless home, I realize all too personally how the democrat policies of this nation (that were intended to be a safety net) actually encourage fatherless homes.  I used to identify Democrat because that is what I was told as a minority I should be, and at first I thought I held the same values—inclusivity, rejection of racism of any kind, value of life etc.  Now these are the very same reason I have left the Democrat party behind. No more clueless identity politics for me.  It was, and is the identity politics that are killing the party.  No one is perfect and I realize that any party will have its issues.  Like the alt right and alt left are just looney.  But as a woman, I have no idea (besides they hate trump;) what the pink pussy hat wearing women were representing in the “Women’s March”.  They sure as hell don’t represent me.  I want everyone in America to be lifted up, and that is why I believe in what President Trump is doing for all of us.  The opposition to this man has been so fierce, and the media has been propagandized.  The selective reporting of Trump’s tweets is one issue, but to actively not report important issues just because they don’t fit the “I hate trump narrative” is inexcusable.  Please look up #walkaway by Brandon Straka. Basically this describes it all.  I am against hate, and that is why I left the left.  Antifa attacks my girl Candace Owens in Philly and media is *silent*.  Something tells me if her political party was switched this would be big news.  Not only that, it appears totally acceptable to label any Conservative as *racist* while NYT hires Sarah Jeong. I would also like to provide examples of how conservatives are unfairly depicted or just straight up discriminated against for being black and conservative (Antonia Okafor & CJ Pearson come to mind). Hate Trump all you want, he will win 2020.  Yes, 4 more years of snowflakes crying for safe (no other opinions allowed) places.  This is America, we are a melting pot and I am sick of the divisions the liberals are making in the name of progress.  The Republicans are not perfect and by God President Trump is not perfect.  But I cannot get down with the level of TDS displayed here by my favorite band.  I am done.  Goodbye Pearl Jam forum, and fellow lovers of Pearl Jam.  Here are my bootleg download codes that I have not used—they go first come first serve and I hope you enjoy this gift from a female conservative:  2015---LRMUVCGW, 2016 MGCFALRU, 2017 RWYKPFAT, 2018 KCHYSPFE.  Member 465428 has left the building, Missoula POSTER ART is disgusting and that did it for me.   BYE

    Good thing you weren’t a fan in 2003...see ya

    When Bush was president, PJ artists put him on a bunch of PJ posters. Fake news.

    Don’t think there was a dead Bush one though. Maybe I’m wrong but don’t recall.  If so then you’re totally correct

    At the end of the day I’ll never understand attacking op regardless of my political belief. That’s the exact thing everyone supposedly hates about trump. The bullying. All I see is a person who poured their heart out and then a bunch of bullying after. There’s a nice way to say you disagree. But it’s nit happening here. People could blame trump for this divide all they want but two wrongs don’t make s right. And just fir the record. Fuck The extreme left and the extreme right. I’m nit a supporter of either. I’m a supporter of doing the right thing. I know I’ll get attacked for this. Just sticking up for a fellow human.

    I think it was the hypocrisy of the post. Seemed a bit, um, preposterous.

    1 poster had Bush as the 4 movie monsters, 2 as Bush as a Gorilla, 1 as Alfred E Neuman, 1 with blood on his hands.
    With all the horrible things going on in the world, a Pearl Jam poster gets the headline.
    Not that Pearl Jam raised $11 Million for the homeless.

    Ahhh whatever. All I know is the back and forth bitterness will never help a damn thing. And it’s just sad to read these threads. It’s dissappointing to see that’s all.

    Any fan forum, whether its a band or a sports team sees threads like this.  The "Im taking my ball and going home" thread.  They are always met with similar derision.  

    Then add in the fact that Trump is a flashpoint and she managed to regurgitate every single Rush Limbaugh talking point, (also threw out the "snowflake/safe space" insult as well as blasting "libs)... rolled the grenade into the room and vanished.  

    Would anyone expect any other response?

    It always seems to be on the group that gets insulted to "Let it go".   

    Person 1 says the insult. 
    Person 2 insults back. 
    Person 3, usually somehow affiliated with Person 1, says that Person 2 needs to grow up.

    So none had him dead? Right on.  Hey I like the poster and want one,  don’t take your anger at whatever out on me, just saying they’re not the same thing.

    Glad she was able to elucidate her opinion, because that's what America is all about. And definitely appreciate her generosity on the way out the door. But I don't think for a second she actually thinks deeply enough about anything she referenced to realize the irony in her argument. I, for one, thought the poster was brilliant. And like all great art, it's going to offend someone. So clearly it worked. Cheers, Jeff. Keep em coming!

    If any fans that are offended by the Missoula Poster have a Lost Dogs Vinyl, preferably near mint, I will gladly buy it from you before you do something rash.

    Hiya, oops didn't mean to sound a certain way, sorry. I can't believe, it seems like every headline today, is about this poster.
    I think it's a cool poster too :)
