That’s not very nice of you. Did they forget to give you your cup-o-pills this AM?

It's a political slogan in the same way "Hope and Change" is.

Should those words piss people off? No. But they 100% are going to turn off 45-50% of your potential customers purely b/c of their association with politics.

Guess it depends if you own a gun store or a tampon store.

Bad move.

I had a guy come out for a termite inspection wearing a 3Percenter cap. Not only was he wearing separatist apparel on the job, he also tried to rip me off.

Yeah, I've spread the word to stay the frick away from that company.

You are a true imbecile if you think people ascribe negative things to that slogan because “the media” tell them that. It’s certainly not a “simple” slogan given that he bases his entire political existence on it, and it supposedly informs everything he stands for (if you actually believe he stands for anything or anyone but himself).

Maybe they are doing well enough that they don't need any business from the kook half.

I wouldn't put anything like that on mine though, even if I worked for myself.

Lulz...you are so full of shite. You know damn well if MAGA was Obama’s campaign slogan, you would hate anyone who uses it.

I don't understand why a burger restaurant in uptown Nola feels the need to make this the first message when you go to their website.

It’s just so oddly aimed, like did they really need to directly name the nazi party? Have Nazi’s dining at cowbell been an issue in the past?

It’s so easy to just say “we practice tolerance at this establishment and welcome everyone that does the same”

That is my point. I mean was Cowbell the Nazi hangout before that message? Do they think having that message would prevent Nazi's from going? I just don't understand why you would put that on your website immediately when someone is searching you.

Oh I get it

It just makes me laugh every time I see that posted for the exact same reasons

Searching them is exactly how I found that message. Right when I moved to Nola I started searching places near me. I have to pass cowbell on my way to work and home each day. I just don't understand why they felt the need to post that. Not that I have one, but I almost want to go eat wearing a MAGA hat and see if they tell me anything.

It would be a better slogan if it wasn't used by another President from the same party in the last few decades.
Imagine a Democrat using Yes we Can or Tippecanoe and Tyler Too, again.

I don't see the point of this. Is your desire to troll Liberals this serious as to let it leak into your business. That just sounds like bad business practices.

If you want to show your support of the country say something like Proud to be American, or God Bless America. That may deter some but not nearly as much as the MAGA. He is basically saying he doesn't want any Liberals business. I mean that's cool and all, but money is money, no matter the giver.

That was so extra ?? They could have just said something like "We at Cowbells believe in treating everyone who walks through our doors as family. Hate or racism will never be tolerated at our business.

But I guess they wanted to send a message. David Duke and his brethren are clearly not welcome inside Cowbells anymore ??
