    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.

      Gotta say, I love the idea of a private company being called ‘PublicSquare’… and the irony of this utterly whooshing over the heads of literally everyone involved.

          They would all arrive at the market and insist on being able to open carry slung AR15s, and then be utterly baffled by the concept of a weapons check.

          Like… even in ‘the West’ (yeehaw cowboys West) it was pretty common to have a weapons check at bars… because they quickly learned that if you don’t do that, well, patrons don’t enjoy the risk of getting their balls blown off while trying to throwback a shot of whiskey, because two other idiots nearby got into a fight.

          Literally the fabled Tombstone, AZ, did this, as a city wide ordinance.

          Gun control is older than almost half the states in the union.

      Smart people don’t vote Trump, but that doesn’t mean they’re not jerks willing to take advantage of dumbasses that do.
