Actually, if I posted a script that would compile this information for any set of zip codes you enter, would people find this useful in setting up boycotts in their city?

Atlanta says yes please

I don't know how a web interface would work, but I could produce an R or Python script to produce a CSV with that info rather easily. People with web design skills could probably take over that part.

If you use R, you could make it a shiny and just render it and host it online. Either on your own or using something like https://shinyapps.io
Plus then it could be interactive as well.

I think a Trumper already did this. They set up a site with all the pro-trump businesses thinking they could encourage the businesses, but people were using it for boycotts instead. It was a couple of months ago.

How's the data quality? What if some rando donated to Trump on behalf of Livable California?

jwbee.bsky.social•5 days ago

The quality is terrible. I think it's easier to identify definite positives than to try to mass-produce a list. For example the Toyota dealer in Berkeley is a definite, out-loud Trumper and that can be easily documented from FEC database.

Agreed!!

Well there's this that is set up as a "MAGA-friendly" shopping reference...https://www.publicsquare.com/

This is the way.

freemaihlet.bsky.social•5 days ago

I oppose Trump but this is a terrible idea. Businesses take forever to build and they have lots of stakeholders who had nothing to do with a donation decision.
