I got a guy down the road from me who runs a rather unique business. Only one I know of in several counties. Overall a good guy that I've bought from several times. Good prices, decent product.

But today as I went past there, I see a blue flag with white letters spelling out an orange guy's name.

Do I tell him to get rid of it or I can't do any more business there??

Do I ignore the blue rag of stupid and buy there anyways?

Do I just never say anything, but never go there again?

I prefer not to support those who blatantly advertise their stupidity...but sometimes you just don't have a choice.

Kind of like I HATE to buy anything made in China...but the greedy money-grubbing corporations haven't given me much choice in it.

If you benefit from frequenting his establishment, does it really matter?

Anyone who supports that guy now supports the overthrow of democracy, eradicating the meaning of my vote, and being a fascist, among many other horrible things.

I would find another place to do business even if it meant going to the internet. Someone that wants to overthrow my democracy does not get my money if there's any way possible to avoid that

I wouldn't shop there anymore and I would make sure they know why.

Odds are, he won't care in the slightest WHY. He might care that he's losing out on $$$...even filthy librul $$$, but otherwise, if you aren't a supporter of King Donnie the Twice Impeached...you ain't shit.

Yup. I've always done my own plumbing until I had an issue about 9 months ago I wasn't able to fix. I called a guy I know from my volunteer gig who told me some years ago that he was a plumber. He tells me he just retired. A few weeks later he calls, says he's in his plumbing truck and can come by. He spends an hour or two here trying to fix it and fails. He suggests I call a plumber he knows who he figures would be cheaper than most. But he tells me the guy watches Fox News. I had posted here about the problem (Home and Garden), and guys there said (Greenman, some other guy) that a guy's political opinions should have no bearing on who I have come to my house to do work. I figured a guy stupid enough to watch Fox News is quite possibly not smart enough to not fuck up my problem. I did NOT call him.
