In reply to the discussion: Fighting MAGA at a local furniture store. [View all]CrispyQ
(40,135 posts)71. FYI: Penzy's spice company has taken a bold anti-Republican Party stance.
Here's a recent commentary by the president of the company, where he's clear they are against the party, not individuals, & his objections are clearly spelled out, not just some line on a receipt. Of course, most repubs/cult won't bother to read it, so it's preaching to the choir, but he makes some good points.

What does any of this mean? Going forward we would still be glad to have you as customers, but were done pretending the Republican Partys embrace of cruelty, racism, Covid lies, climate change denial, and threats to democracy are anything other than the risks they legitimately are. If you need us to pretend you are not creating the hurt you are creating in order for you to continue to be our customer, Im sad to say you might be happier elsewhere.
If on the other hand you still want the best spices and dont need us to respect what you now vote for to be our customer, Hooray! We are happy to have you here, but know that we will, on a regular basis, try to wake you up from this dream that has you believing there is anything conservative left at all to what the Republican Party has become. We can and will work without Republicans to solve the problems we face, but it sure would be nice to get back to a time where Republicans were equal defenders of equality, the environment, and democracy. We look forward to that day.

If they put this sort of stupid crap in their store/ads/catalog/whatever, you don't do business with them.

They chose to openly show their fascism. It's 100% on them if they lose business.
