Exactly the same. Penzey is pissing off half his customers.
But, since I agree with his politics, i spend more there, to make up for it. Works both ways.
The right likes to think they can get away with their hate while decrying the “hate” from the left. But Bill Penzey isn’t saying republicans should be sent to concentration camps, deported or outright killed.
Also, he accepts that he may lose customers for it without doing any crybaby whining over it.
By contrast, take a look at the reaction video from the Demolition Ranch YouTube channel (in the news because the shooter was wearing a T-shirt from their merch store). The creator of the channel very clearly and definitely denounces political violence, while also saying that he won’t make politics part of his channel, and continuing to not make it part. That’s the way to do it.
And that’s the way to do it.
Now that I (sort of) own a record store, I can contemplate doing something like posting a sign telling Trump supporters they’re not welcome. I’d secretly love to do so, but I suspect it would be a bad idea because:
Thanks–that does make a lot more sense than if it had been one of Trump’s once-or-future AGs!
I remember, but can’t find proof, of a McDonald’s(?) that had a “no liberals allowed” sort of sign. I think it was in Arizona.
Anyway, I understand your sentiment. I wanted to drive up there and throw a rock through their window. But I didn’t, because I’m not like a RWNJ. instead, I just didn’t eat there. Now, I don’t have the personal satisfaction of the owner knowing why, but I can live with that.
Right? I just unsubscribed from Sticker Mule, but there was no response field to tell them why. 
But there is a facebook page.
It’s almost worth starting a Facebook account just to tell them off.
That moment when you realize your childhood hero is and always was full of shit.
In the immortal words of Tony Schiavone; “Hulk Hogan, you can go to hell! Straight to hell!”
I turned on my TV this evening, and before I could change the channel I caught a little bit of the RNC. The head of the WWF (I think) was saying that he knows tough guys, and Donald Trump is the toughest.
Seriously, that’s what our politics have come to, someone who hires people to pretend to beat each other up is telling us who to vote for?
Dana White, actually. Head of the UFC.
At this point … what’s the difference?
Not much, considering that they’re both under the same corporate umbrella now.
Notice how he says ‘they’ tried to kill Trump. This is unlikely to be because he is sensitive to someone’s preferred pronouns, is it.
“They tried to kill Trump” has been a talking point the entire convention. I’d like to know who they think “they” are.
I was looking for a place to drop this. They never name names, because they can’t.
UFC fighters aren’t pretending, not that that makes him less of an asshole.
