Voting republican down the line doesn't make you a conservative and vice versa.
I'd prefer noone vote for anyone that joins one of these corrupt parties but have more respect for someone that looks at the candidates deeper than red or blue. Thats so stupid you can train a hamster to do it

No. It was actually the rights vitriol and hatred of Hillary Clinton that made corporations people with rights to free speech and to spend their money freely without limit into the political machine.
So you think that without that Citizens United ruling Social Media couldn't target conservatives, major corporations couldn't put up LGBTQ logos during the month of June or donate millions to BLM, the NFL couldn't play the Black National Anthem during their games, Banks couldn't refuse to deal financially with gun shops, etc?
It seems you've missed the complaint.

They are conservative, they just aren't MAGA. they want to focus on supporting veterans and protecting the 2nd amendment. There are plenty of conservatives that dont take it to a cult-like level.
Trump had nearly 75 million votes. How many conservatives are there in America that voted for someone other than Trump?
If we're going to talk cult-like, I'm not pointing the finger at roughly half the nation, I'm pointing to the <1%.

Not defending all reds, but can you name any blues who are conservatives in 2021?

Imagine the pressure on black rifle coffee to choose sides and if you don't choose the correct side here's what will happen
Or companies can just stop ‘choosing sides’ and focus on just making products everyone loves. I don’t see how this is hard. If I were a business owner I would leave my political beliefs out of it. I don’t particularly care for the actual coffee that BRCC makes, I just find it overrated. We drink Atlas and Blue Heeler. My buddy loves blue heelers so they bought us a bag as a gift and it was fantastic. Some of the best coffee I’ve ever had.

Whats funny is Kyle Rittenhouse has done more to defend actual American freedom than anyone of these "veterans".
I hate liberals as much as anyone, especially veteran liberals but Im going to stop you right here. Rittenhouse gave up a night for his beliefs,any veteran gave up years and rights. It's not the same and not compared. Also, Rittenhouse was acting to protect his own hide not yours.

They took they stance that Rittenhouse wasn't defending himself? Is that what I'm gathering?

If the only thing he's given up was a single night we wouldn't be having this discussion.

He was acting to protect private businesses as well. There's video of him administering first aid, and pictures of him cleaning up graffiti on the side of a building.
I do agree with you that the two cannot be compared but you've done an equal injustice in describing Rittenhouse's situation.

For those that didnt click, the link shows that one of those guys donated to Obama campaign.
This fake arse coffee company cant be cancelled soon enough. fricking liars.
Great way to go bankrupt. Who do these idiots think were buying their product? Lefty liberals?

I don't know all the details, but here's the gist of it.
A pic was taken of Rittenhouse in a BRC shirt and was displayed on some conservative social media account that was trying to gain new members or something and BRC came out to clear the air that they didn't want to be seen as taking any stances on the issue.
I understand that.
What I'd like to know more of is this NYTs article. Was it a hit piece, or is that how they really think most of their conservative customer base? I think it's the former, after all they're still a sponsor of Crowder (or at least they were very recently).

Was it opposition or neutrality?
I can see them not wanting to use Rittenhouse's need to exercise his right to self defense as a means to sell more of their product - however justified Rittenhouse was.

Fair enough. I was merely pointing out that you cannot compare a night of being a good citizen with years service. Dont get me wrong Im a Rittenhouse fan and I have four boys with the same American pride. It could easily be one of them in his situation.
I also did not consider his incarnation as time lost but it is and I was wrong. He has given up freedom for his beliefs and that takes gonads.

If I remember correctly, the insinuation was made that Rittenhouse had a paid Black Rifle sponsorship. BRCC made it known Rittenhouse was wearing the shirt as a private citizen and was not affiliated with the company.

They sell coffee and market it to conservatives with the imagery of firearms and military rhetoric.
If someone commits a heinous act while wearing a Nike shirt, does anyone expect Nike to come out and make a statement?
The other crux of the matter is, BRCC sponsored a show on the conservative network Blaze. Blaze, having a very conservative bend, obviously drew supporters of Rittenhouse, just like this site does. Again, they felt the need to address their lack of affiliation with Rittenhouse to placate the very people that would never buy their product in the first place. They are cowards and not worthy of one penny from my pocket.

No, there should be no expectation for Nike to make any sort of statement on the moral standing of anyone wearing their gear.
That said, I'm not going to hate on Nike for making that distinction known.
But I do get your point. Black Rifle Coffee played the leftists game. They made a statement. They should have just kept their mouth shut because no such pressure is placed on any other company. Or, if any statement was made on the matter, it'd be pointing out what you have above.
I'd chalk this up as a misstep, not something deserving of a boycott. Unless there's more to it, and the NYTs story seems to suggest that there is more to this story. But it is the NYTs, and it wouldn't be the first time they did a hit piece on a conservative businesses.

They will be out of business soon.

On top of it, to go to the New York Times of all places. As soon as I see one of these clowns like Barr, Cheney, Romney, etc. run to WaPo, NYT, CNN, etc. you know immediately they were fake all along. At least have the balls to bring it to conservative media and not give these propaganda rags legitimacy.
