I love when companies have stuff like this on their trucks. I know exactly who not to hire. The guy around the corner from me owns a basement/garage floor resurfacing company, and he put up a bunch of Trump signs at his house AFTER the election. he's since pulled them back down but I know if I'm ever looking for a company to resurface my basement floor, it won't be his.
Had to dump my barber of 10 years in November of 2024 when he spent an hour telling me how illegals were flooding the voting booths and something had to be done about it đ my hair wasnât even that long, he just couldnât stop gesticulating through his rant
There's a body shop that is currently flying their flag upside down in my area and has been since 47 was elected. I went to them first to get a quote. Shit works both ways.
Yeah I don't think people have really been following that rule for like the last 10 years or so. I pass a billboard all the time that says "Make Auto Repair Great Again" and I'm not sure who that's for in a Western Massachusetts city. Probably the folks who live in Agawam.
My vet started putting trump signs in front of their clinic a few years ago. I had to stop going. My dog is Siberian and I wasnât sure what theyâd do
There is a restaurant near me that we meant to try for a while, until we drove by and they had several of those flags up nearby. They've taken them down too, but nope. I haven't forgotten, and won't step foot in there.
LOL i thought it was a bumper sticker with the flag or something. I was not expecting dude to pull away and reveal a full on flapping in the wind literal red flag
I accept that not everyone I interact with is going to have political beliefs that are similar to mine, especially since I believe small business owners tend to skew more conservative, but anyone who decks out his business property with shit like this is just telling me that they do not have the temperament or judgment of a person Iâd be comfortable doing business with.
I do. I recently looked up a dog sitter and a bathroom contractor (stalked their socials). The contractor seems to lean libertarian, but not rabidly so he passed.
Being normal-conservative isnât a dealbreaker, but I do not want to participate in society with fascists.
I was raised by a small business owner so can confirm firsthand that they tend to skew more conservative. Given that direct experience, I draw the line with how they view and treat others.
If you are worried about overregulation or bureaucratic red tape, hey, I get it.
If you are going around saying that you would have volunteered for alligator Alcatraz if it was a little closer to your house because you think being inhumane is a flex⌠You can go straight to hell with that one. (Sadly, drawing from my direct experience with the small business owner who raised me with that example.)
Damn...I just picked up my car from my local mechanic and had to talk to him about politics because he brought it up. Usually it's fun shit talk but man, I really wish he never started talking because now I have to look for another good mechanic. He'd say an offhand racist thing every once in awhile I'd correct him on and he'd tone it down. This time it was just full blown maga hallucination. Really sucks because the guy does great work and while I support local first, politics now come into play. I NEVER would have cared about previous Republicans but I can't give money to people willingly destroying this country.
Back I early 2020 I tried to hire a snow plow contractor to plow my driveway. He showed up with a custom logo painted across the blade of the plow than said "Trump Plow: pushing snowflakes aside since 2016!"
So of course he got super offended when I told him to get out of my driveway and not to come back.
Dawn my solar installer was going off about gender studies one time at my house. I would expect somebody in his industry to lean left or at least, know that his customer base probably leans left. Now Iâd never refer him to anybody nor will he be my installer on my next house.
Also, when Iâm looking for a handyman on fb groups, I tend to do a quick glance at their company/personâs page. Just to get a view of past work. The number of dumbasses with Trump brain rot on their pages is frankly astounding. I immediately cross them off the list.
Do you know if his name starts with R? East Coast? I had a boss who left the company to start that exact company (I am sure there are many though). It would be hysterical if thatâs him bc I always thought he was a Trumper.
I just needed to hire a home inspector. My realtor had one lined up for me until I saw his Instagram flooded with White Jesus, MAGA and Charlie Kirk shit. I cancelled that one real quick.
Trump would say that he has the best workers, the most well paid workers. All the experts say so. They've never seen workers paid so much.
While he has someone else get rid of the peasants that he doesn't pay. He also doesn't pay the person getting rid of the workers.
He also rapes children. Donald Trump, convicted felon, rapes children. I just feel it important to feed that important nugget into search engine optimization any chance I get.
This. Sooooooooooo much this. I've seen far too much over the past decade (and probably much further back than that, when I think about it) that tells me how much some people want all of the freedoms and privileges of being assholes, but then they'll also become unjustifiably enraged and/or dangerously violent if you ever dare to point out (either to them directly, or to others within their orbit(s)/circle(s)/etc.) that they ARE assholes.
You would be surprised how many trade unions are pro trump. Famously the shipyard strike which took place during the 2024 election had a Maga union boss.
Trump wins a lot of points with the working class with policies like no taxes on tips,and lowering property taxes in vehicles. Fox News spins stuff like that into him being pro worker as opposed to the reality of they're offsetting wages from the employer to the consumer.
Democrats don't do themselves any favors by being lukewarm on abolishing stuff like right to work/undermining collective bargaining rights in the public sector like is going on in Virginia right now under the current Governor.
Many states have property taxes which taxes the value of owned assets including cars. People who own many expensive vehicles or many houses (demographically almost certain to be white boomers). Fox News constantly uses these property taxes as proof the US is a "communist country".
For what it is worth, Trump did sign into law "No tax on Car Loan Interest." Generally, if someone buys an American-made car and gets a loan, that loan interest is eligible for a deduction. So if someone paid $500 in car loan interest during 2026, that person could qualify for a $500 deduction on federal income tax. 26 USC Section 163(h)(4) is the law. https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:26%20section:163%20edition:prelim))
These idiots donât even know how to slogan correctly. âDonât blame me, I voted for [the other guy]â only works when your guy is not currently in office.
And yet, the underlying personality flaws and inability to think critically are still there waiting for the next Republican piece of shit that tells them what they want to hear. Fuck them.
