I see far more Trump support shown outside of businesses than the other.

I have seen a couple of “Trump Sucks” type of thing though.

Because it helps them with a different segment?

The only answer that makes sense to me is that the owner is implying that they only want to do business with those that think like them.

It's worked out for the Chicks with Dicks, Mr Pillow, and Elon Musk.

social media pages. People have been silent for far too long as conservative values have been eroding which coincides with the country's erosion. I bitch about taxes, unjust racial bullshite that is an epidemic, the government funding Covid, local Louisiana bullshite policy, illegal immigration, how retarded liberals are, etc. The last 4 years sure did give conservatives alot of ammo, which is exactly what the traitorous Democrat party (and majority of the Republican party), to go along with the Globalist want. And I do not give a frick if liberals do not want to spend money at any of my businesses. My main client base is conservative white females anyway, which coincidentally have money.




Care to boldly declare the name of your businesses and their location?

For most businesses, sure.

But I can see some businesses getting away with displaying political leanings.

If you sell soy products or a cuck matching service, put up your vote blue no matter who or your in this house we believe signs.

If you sell hunting supplies or tractors, you're probably safe flying a MAGA flag.

Only two reasons for a very long time.
It helps them.
It helps their profits.

I’ll talk politics with my friends, I don’t talk politics at the office or with customers. It’s bad form.

I have found that politics and religion are two topics to be kept out of the office.

There are two types who would do this:

1. DGAF Crowd: Those who are more interested in proudly and loudly proclaiming their political beliefs than running a business. They may or may not run a business well, but they've decided their politics come first.

2. Show me the money: Those who think there is a monetary advantage in proclaiming their politics (whether it's really their politics or not).

My mom owned a business for 20 plus years. She never talked politics, never had political signs in her yard, never let anyone know who or what she thought politically. In a somewhat small southern town, her business was very successful across all political leanings. When she retired, my parents got active in elections, traveling to hear all candidates and basing their voting on who they thought would lead Mississippi and or local positions. Anyone regardless of their position publicly announcing who they are voting for is very foolish in my view.
