Am I using this app correctly? I’m confused

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Yep. I've been looking at that site for any businesses near me to know what to avoid.

lol. This site is comedy.

A lot of MAGAs registered in my county. A county Trump only got 21% in.

Why the fuck would you slap a MAGA sign on your business when 80% of your potential customers hate that shit?

When you've convinced yourself that your parties membership is like twice the size it actually is you make great decisions

They got a majority of votes. Unless you live in a deep blue area it's likely to get you more customers than it costs, at least for now. Most customers won't care either way, they're at your business to buy your goods/services, not as a political statement.

Those signs will go down fast except for the very political and deep red areas once we're in a post-Trump world.

Any way we could keep a historical record of these businesses? I can foresee them doing a full cleansing of their internet presence as they lose business.

There's additional mirrors, but that's the big one

Well shit. The landscaping company we signed up for this year is a MAGAt apparently. I'll be shopping for a different company now.

I just checked to see who was listed in my area, I sure would like to boycott them but I'd never heard of any of them before so I guess I already was.

So...Instead of becoming a BETTER business, they decided to HIDE the evil business?

This could use some governmental oversight. Oops, wrong government. NEVERMIND.

I recently bought some stuff online from Penzeys, specifically because of the anti-maga stuff.
