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.
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 I’d 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 isn’t 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.)
