re: Putting political messages on business cards

Unless politics is your business and reaching out to a certain group of people, you don't associate it with your business.
No matter what side you are on, you are going to turn more people away than you will gain.
Even people who might generally agree with what side you are on, there are those who don't like to publically associate themselves with their views. It's private for some people, so if you are a business person and you are all "I am pro this and I support that" then people don't really want to be guilty by association.

I don’t want to do business with a snowflake either.
Is he asking for your vote or your business? If he has the right price and delivery or offers the best product and services, who gives a shite about his politics?

Or how about the standard ‘have a blessed day’

On my business card it says in big bold letters: “ LIBS CAN GET frickED”

O-T have any experience with this? Any of y'all do this? How does it impact your business?
Anyone who does that doesn’t work for a politician or a lobbying firm is a fricking idiot. It just says to me even if I agree with the message “I’m willing to piss off over half of my customers and thus losing them.”

I don't care what his politics are...IDGAF what anyone's politics are.
I care to do business with a smart businessperson.
A businessperson that blatantly disregards the impact of mixing politics with business is not a smart businessperson.
I'll go find the one I can trust to be smart.

My parents taught me to never discuss politics or religion in public. Seems we’ve lost some basic rules of society along the way.

What percentage of them do you think would answer "yes, the United States of America is currently a great nation"?
Good question, I’m sure you’d get all kind of mixed reactions to that. If I had to guess, I’d say it would greatly depend, for most of them, on the context in which the question was asked. There will be a small percentage who will say no and a small percentage who will instinctively say yes regardless of the contact.

Really stupid. I dont put politics on any of the trucks either. I dont give two shits about who you vote for at work. I want your money. Tell me how great Bernie is as I give you the bill.

I could be wrong, but I think the overwhelming majority of hardcore MAGAs would respond that America always was, and is currently, great. Which means that parroting "make America great again" makes no sense.

It can also mean "Make America Greater".

Can you give me an example of when the adverb "again" is ever used in such a way? I can't think of an example even if I allow for the addition of punctuation.

You could be right but there are plenty who feel that America was better before Many of the same people also like platitudes that are not really accurate, but that’s a whole other thing.
And most answer based on the audience, I firmly believe.

"Esquire" is the worst political message of all.

Agree on all points.
Succinctly put, people say "MAGA" to signal that they are on Team Trump, not because they give a shite about the words themselves. Which is fine. But which is why it's disingenuous bullshite when people on this board spout the line that "all Americans should want to MAGA".

I’ve gotten business cards with the Union Printing shop seal on them.
They quickly get placed in File Thirteen.

It shows very poor business acumen, and while I agree with him politically, I would avoid doing business with him.
