For the rest of you, you just voted for an openly racist candidate for the presidency of the United States of America. In your defense, most of you did so without thinking of the consequences of your candidate's racism because, for most of you the heartbreaking destruction racism causes has never been anything you or your loved ones have had to experience. But the thing is elections have their consequences. This is no longer sixty years ago. Whether any of us like it or not, for the next four years the 80% of this country who did not just vote for an openly racist candidate are going to treat you like you are the kind of person who would vote for an openly racist candidate.

Yeah, it's disappointing. I like a few of their blends. Straight spices are easier to find anywhere. I can save money buying them at any of the international grocers. I guess that might blow a hole in their intolerant world view.

Savory spice is the major competitor. They are actually better anyway, you should check them out.

Penzy's uses inferior ingredients and charges more.

Has this kind of decision ever been a good move for a business?

It is one thing for the public to attack a business and get support from those who side with the business - think Chic-fil-a. It is quite another for a company to volunteer their own personal or political opinions.

I think this is a peek into the liberal mind.

They literally think it's a foregone conclusion that Trump is a racist. And, they literally think that anyone who disagrees is obviously wrong. They don't/can't even consider that they may be wrong.

But, look further. They have completely swallowed the lie that everyone knows it and agrees. They've convinced themselves so much of this that they've come to the conclusion that 80% of the people didn't vote for Trump. Now, obviously this is simply inaccurate. But, this is how the liberal mind works. There is zero critical thinking. And, they are incredibly susceptible to group think.

Thanks, I'll check them out, Penzey's just lost my business.

Another good spice company is Marion-Kay of Indiana. If you like KFC chicken, give their 99X chicken seasoning a shot.

I'm still waiting for a Prog to link Trump's racism.

Was he a racist when he was winning those NAACP awards with Al and Jesse?

marion kay is in a different category, its basically grocery store spice. its not bad per se, but I wouldn't liken them to the quality at penzy's or savory spice.

There's about 250 million people who can vote. 60/250 > 20%.

26.4% of the voting-eligible population voted for Trump, ergo 73.6% of the voting-eligible population did not vote for Trump.

She is an idiot for other reasons, but she isn't as far off as you think.

Well, I THINK they mean all the non-voters as well.

Though technically that would place it about 75%, I guess? The same could be applied to Clinton as well. Only 57% of eligible voters voted this year, but that's still up from the previous two elections.

I think this one is owned by a hippy vs a hipster.
