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?

It's a cult

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

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

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.

Archive.org

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

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 25 points 16 hours ago

And that's why the US government cut all public funds to Archive.org.

I'm worried they'll pull another 2008, where everyone decided they hadn't voted for W in 2004 so nothing was their fault, they'd been 'liberteranians' all along.

We need to remember who supported him, this matters.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 92 points 20 hours ago (5 children)

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

Nah, that's a conference venue. You're thinking of the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center & Fairgrounds in Oaks, Pennsylvania.

I’m thinking that it will be fun to call this out on Yelp and Google reviews pages in blue areas.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 19 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Make sure you tell them why you're firing them, and post a review on their Google page. Dont mention the quality of the service, just that you dropped them for their treasonous support of MAGA Nazis.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago (5 children)

I'm on the fence about telling them why. I have zero faith that losing me as a customer will make them reconsider their political position even if it would make me feel better. What it may do it make them remove their add from the MAGAt site meaning we lose the warning signal to others.

As far as leaving reviews pointing out there MAGAness, I'm in a red state and that may help them. They love their martyrs, so I'm definitely skipping that step.

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.

[–] classic@fedia.io 25 points 1 day ago

Nothing says you can't share that information in a review

I have communed with the dead, and they told me that there's gang related activity happening in those businesses.

I wanted a similar site but to track houses with Trump signs up. Have to upload pictures for the record, and cross referenced with MLS listings/sales so everything is expunged on property transfer.

No particular reason to keep this info around. Just a curiosity.

[–] MdPhoenix@lemm.ee 23 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

That would drive them absolutely batshit insane

[–] brognak@lemm.ee 13 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

In my head I called it The Scarlet Letter and the logo was a giant red burning T.

Not that I have put thought into it or anything 😅

Ooh good to know, I don’t want to give my hard-earned money to MAGAt nonsense.

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

Anybody got an actual list? I can't be asses to scroll through product listings and that site is terribly designed.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 17 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

There's a map by zip code, seems like it's an per business opt in setup.

I'm surprised by how many of the local shitholes figured out the internet in my town. Lot of construction, photography, and those shitty businesses that sell scam ass herbal supplements.

I have flirted with the idea of pulling a list all registered business in my area and cross checking political donations from them/their owners.

It's a lot of data to crunch though

sigh… goodbye, favorite coffee

[–] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (4 children)

You'll find a new one that will taste all the more sweet.

Or bitter, whatever. I don't drink coffee.

It will be worth it.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 day ago

already know who i'm switching to. better coffee, less selection, doesn't ship. but they're also a non profit co-op and align opposite maga views

collapsed inline media

Lol, they're soooo free speech, they're scared of anyone taking the tiniest of privacy precautions. If I can't access it anonymously I'm not attaching my IP to that honey pot.

[–] meldroc@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

I noticed that none of the restaurants & bars & such let themselves be seen on PublicSquare (and I know that some of them are run by MAGA-loving POSes.)

That is a good sign that being seen in MAGA circles is a kiss of death for a lot of businesses.

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is definitely an incomplete list. There is a gym I drive by about twice a week that has a "hard to kill" banner with a picture of Trump after his first assassination attempt. I'm sure that place is full MAGA.

wake up honey, new BDS list just dropped.

but seriously I like that there's a list of "maga friendly businesses"... because up until now the fascism has been too subtle.

As a consumer, PublicSquare’s website is easy to use. You just enter your ZIP code

Where? In the search box I just get a few products that happen to have my zip code in their description (not as a zip, but as a product number or something). Other comments here mention a map, but I'm not seeing that.

Edit: Found it. It's really buried.

Scheele's, a big sporting good store, is on there. I switched to other options.
