    I’m guessing by political he means “woke or anti-woke” which is a stupid way to gauge how political one is to begin with, but even then it’s stupid because while most business owners might try to appear politically neutral publicly (as a means of avoiding controversy that might affect their business), when you get to know them you find most are very solidly chuds

      It constantly surprises me how many businesses have abandoned this principle in the Trump era. There’s a new shop in my town that erected a huge sign that says, “Vote out the corrupt Democrats in all 50 states!”. This is in a town that voted 71% for Hillary Clinton in 2016. I don’t understand a business owner that would try so hard to get the majority of residents to avoid their business.
