I'm not saying they're all stupid but one patient of mine had a confederate flag hanging in his room I asked him if he was going to have a problem with a person of color coming to his home for PT, he said "no why?" I said because you have a Confederate flag & he did not know what that meant!
Absolute No-brainer, Ren! Mrs. Eggz and I have a regular walk that passes by so many houses that were dressed up as Trump Parade floats around the election. I will remember who they all are, and interact (or not) accordingly.
Off the subject from your original post, but isn't weird how much these people need to advertise their allegiance? No one does that to this degree. I mean people have always worn pins or had bumper stickers, but to this degree? There was one house that was WRAPPED in Trump banners! I mean, Jeez!
Totally agree. Don’t pull your busted up pickup with your trump stickers and various other low intelligence stamps and expect to fix anything in my house. Ain’t happening.
Spent forty years in the B2B world. Never once thought I’d see a business intentionally try to drive business away like this. Makes zero sense, and completely laughable.
Why as a business owner would you ever bring politics in? It’s a bad business model. I don’t want to know which way my garden shop owner votes but if you show me your colors & they aren’t mine, I’ll shop elsewhere.
If you have service people come to the house, plumper, electrician, roofer, etc., check their truck bumpers for dumpy signs. I did, roofer coming to give an estimate was rejected as soon as I saw the sign.
Same here!! We have one hardware store in our area and I was a really good customer. Not anymore though. They were so far gone they actually had those tailgates and truck hood shrink wraps. Never again will I give them my business, and I told them so!!🤨
This works if you fly a pride flag too. Electricians, plumbers or painters might see your flag and not show up to do the work. Good! We don’t want them to collect our money anyway.
Or any business run by an oligarch bending the knee to fascism over our democracy equality and decency. I've stopped shopping at Amazon. I'm turning off prime. I'm deleting Facebook and Instagram. Etc..
I really wish more businesses would do that. Since I found out how religious they are, I will never patronize;
Chick-fil-A
Hobby Lobby
Walmart
Under Armour
In-N-Out Burger
Carl Jr's
Tyson Foods
Forever 21
Wendy's
Interstate Batteries
And others...
I go a step further whilst in their parking lot if I'm unsure. I call and ask who they voted for (if it's not on OpenSecrets). They always say, "that's an odd question". I say, "not really, it matters to me where and with whom I spend my money. So no, not odd at all".
I have begun to see propaganda in the background of YouTube videos that have no political content. I have unsubscribed from them for that reason One creator even stated during a car repair video that mentioning politics would cost him in followers
I’ve gotten to the point where I kid of appreciate those who’ve shown their red colors so I know who to avoid. “Vote with your dollars.” Gee, they’re going out of business? How sad. 😉
Perhaps there is an action here that could lead to impact by researching local businesses and creating “I did not vote for this” list. Businesses would need to be ok will having their names on the list as they would be published. People could then support accordingly.
And if you’re across the street in my neighborhood, I WILL NOT be a good and friendly neighbor. Stay off my fucking lawn, porch, whatever. And YOUR yard waste and dog’s shit that ended up in my yard will be returned to porch.
I live in a town with only 3 or 4 restaurants open in the winter and along way to drive to go elsewhere. 2 of these are maga hangouts so I have refused to go since Covid. Upside is I lost a bunch of weight
I would never go into any store that shows such disrespect to this country. And if you wear the flag as clothing, I don’t want to be on the same side of the street as stupid people
Or if any of your employees is wearing some patriotic shit shirt like 1776 brand or these colors don't run, or don't tread on me. Tells me to spend my money elsewhere and I'm glad to do it.
I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before they change the U.S. flag into a confederate flag, a Nazi flag or a flag with MAGA and his evil ugly f’n face in it. Oh and make sure it’s gold in color of course.
haha, i did that actually in germany on my facebook-account with the fascist fucking afd-party online.
i looked a week later and there was around 30 followers left.
and there was really one of these assholes asking me if i can afford that. i said no, but this is a luxury that I allow myself..
Why anyone who voted against Trump would ever use Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, buy from Amazon, or be caught dead in a Tesla is beyond me. Please friends! Stop feeding the Oligarchy... forward not backwards!
Please share widely and take action NOW. Join us in DC on March 14, the day Congress votes on the budget, to demand these oligarchs do not destroy America in celebration of Putin's plan to prove democracy does not work: https://nowmarch.org/
YES, Ma‘am! Totally with you on that. OBTW, LLBean (my old fav) was a huge orange asshat supporter in this last election, I’m sending back EVERYTHING I bought from them in the past year. And will NEVER buy their cheapening quality shit again. Even the washed n worn, Fuck Them.
And I’m boycotting Amazon! Bezos took the digital kindle books we paid for out of our accounts!! Now, we pay the price of a book to lease it, like a fucking car?!? Apple+ is the same with music n movies, fuck these greedy, shitty obsequious, slithering malignant capitalist nihilists!
I can’t even believe that’s happening. It’s not happening where I live. This is a pretty blue area. But you know things could change overnight thank you for posting this.
Blue stater here - are the Trumpers not at all troubled by any of this? Given the town halls that went viral it seems like the reps voted against their voters wishes on the budget. The resistance must come from the red states. I just can’t believe they’re still in on Trump given all of this.
My neighbors replaced their confederate flags with Nazi flags. I posted daily on Facebook groups in my area and they took them down, they were getting death threats ( unfortunately this was before Rump)
I had a neighbor that had a special white supremacist flag when i lived in New York. He was part of some group and he said it was kind of a religious group. He explained it to me one day. I didn’t engage them very often. They were told to remove the flag and they moved out
There’s a lot of folks who don’t fly that at their business. Good way to check their leanings is to see what was written up about the business locally during the pandemic. There’s always a tell. And check what campaigns they donated to.
Ok. Help a lady out. I am in Canada and I know about the biggest chains like Walmart but the internet makes all pretty much accessible. I did not know about LLBean being a MAGA supporter for instance, or Hobby Lobby. Can anyone here tell me if PartsTree is ok? Hubs uses it for parts now

Stop the coup.
I call it "Bigot's Boulevard" when I give directions around my house.
Wake up Americans! I pray military sees this to with what's happening to VA!

Or a State of Jefferson flag
boycott
Just look at the fear in their eyes at these town halls where people are *going off.*
They know they will lose their cushy jobs & benefits.
Withholding money & withholding attention are modern Pitchforks.
I numbers it can be very effective.
I’ll pay more money somewhere else if I have to .
Whole Foods
Amazon
Tesla
SpaceX
Starlink
WaPo
Meta
Etc
Absolutely do not
Buy Anything from a
Business that
Flies a Trump or
MAGA flag or
Banner!

Wait till you hear about the flag of genocide, slavery, apartheid, nuking civilians, warmongering, terror droning, and installing murderous dictators.
You may never shop again.
