The think tank bros are not okay. Props to this dumbass retweeting all the people calling him a fucking idiot though. Good bit.
most business owners might try to appear politically neutral publicly (as a means of avoiding controversy that might affect their business)
It constantly surprises me how many businesses have abandoned this principle in the Trump era. There’s a new shop in my town that erected a huge sign that says, “Vote out the corrupt Democrats in all 50 states!”. This is in a town that voted 71% for Hillary Clinton in 2016. I don’t understand a business owner that would try so hard to get the majority of residents to avoid their business.
We had a friend chicken business in town that was putting up cooker conspiracy posters and placards for the antivax party during the worst of covid, I stopped going there immediately. Who knows what kind of other shit they thought was government overreach, like wearing gloves while cooking my food or something. Yuck.
Businesses found out about spite consumption. Same reason that a relatively low amount of chuds can consistently get shite country music up the lists.
They have a much better chance to get chuds in by virtue signalling to then than trying to be bland and pry people away from wallmart or whatever.
