Saw some melty posts on Facebook about boycotting Home Depot and I see that this is what it’s about.

Funny enough, the HD CEO donated $7 million in 2016 to Trump’s campaign.

Also, I just bought about $500 of stuff from Home Depot a few hours ago. Not sorry.

Regressives have no idea how to swing a hammer so HD doesn't care.

I have boycotted Home Depot for years, but only because i am a New Orleans Saints season ticket holder, and the founder of Home Depot owns the Atlanta Falcons.

As far as his Trump ties, well- billionaires are gonna billionaire.

That’s like vegetarians boycotting a bbq joint.

The guy who founded HD (ken langone) is on CNBC all the time in the morning and he’s unabashedly MAGA.

Spent about $50 there last week on a few things I needed. Glad I did.

Home Depot is like Lowes, only more chill.

Also, closer to my house.

I think I’ll go get an order from Chic-Fil-A and a hammer and nails from Home Depot. I’ll nail the bag of food to the door of the local Super Lib.

Good for Home Depot and it makes me glad I have almost always used them instead of Lowes. I didn't have a particular reason before but I do now

I saw this all weekend on social media. Most of their key voters have no reason to go to Home Depot anyway, so it's not a big loss.

Unless they lose the lesbians. That's like 85 billion per year in revenue right there.

They know more conservatives buy from them for their houses than Democrats for their section 8 and trailers.

Pretty sure there are federal laws capping the amount someone can donate to a campaign at ~$3,000 per election.

Donating to PACs is not the same as donating to campaign.

Saw him on Fox News a few weeks ago. He was raw dogging Dems and how stupid their economic policies are. Said they are the worst thing entrepreneurs could ask for. Said it would stop it all together because there is no reason to take a chance because you wouldn’t be rewarded for succeeding.

I bet 98% of people that oppose trump have ever been inside a home depot.

The left’s boycott of Home Depot will have about as much of an effort on them as their boycott of Chick Fil A.

I saw that and had forgotten it was him because I was multitasking. He did go hard though.

I got done renovating my house last year. I bought most of it at Lowe’s. I wish I would’ve purchased everything at Home Depot. I’m probably going to buy a new toolbox soon. I’ll get it from HD.
