7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Any way we could keep a historical record of these businesses? I can foresee them doing a full cleansing of their internet presence as they lose business.
Archive.org
There's additional mirrors, but that's the big one
And that's why the US government cut all public funds to Archive.org.
I'm worried they'll pull another 2008, where everyone decided they hadn't voted for W in 2004 so nothing was their fault, they'd been 'liberteranians' all along.
We need to remember who supported him, this matters.
lol. This site is comedy.
A lot of MAGAs registered in my county. A county Trump only got 21% in.
Why the fuck would you slap a MAGA sign on your business when 80% of your potential customers hate that shit?
When you've convinced yourself that your parties membership is like twice the size it actually is you make great decisions
Hey, putting their money where their mouth is, I don't have a problem with that.
It's a cult
Logic is not one if their strengths.
It's a null set.
Gotta say, I love the idea of a private company being called 'PublicSquare'... and the irony of this utterly whooshing over the heads of literally everyone involved.

get the MAGAs deported without process
I have communed with the dead, and they told me that there's gang related activity happening in those businesses.
Suspicion of "gang related" seems to be the excuse they use to deport the quickest.
Well shit. The landscaping company we signed up for this year is a MAGAt apparently. I'll be shopping for a different company now.
Four Seasons?
Nah, that's a conference venue. You're thinking of the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center & Fairgrounds in Oaks, Pennsylvania.
I’m thinking that it will be fun to call this out on Yelp and Google reviews pages in blue areas.
Make sure you tell them why you're firing them, and post a review on their Google page. Dont mention the quality of the service, just that you dropped them for their treasonous support of MAGA Nazis.
I'm on the fence about telling them why. I have zero faith that losing me as a customer will make them reconsider their political position even if it would make me feel better. What it may do it make them remove their add from the MAGAt site meaning we lose the warning signal to others.
As far as leaving reviews pointing out there MAGAness, I'm in a red state and that may help them. They love their martyrs, so I'm definitely skipping that step.
Yah, it isn't like they're going to say "Oh no! We lost a customer. I'm having an ethical dilemma now."
I kinda don't care about hearts and minds. Let them know you dropped them for that reason, the scorn is enough. They're allowed to be maga it just can't be without consequences

I get where you are but this is contradictory. If we don't care about addressing mindsets of folks then making my position known is the opposite of that. They likely won't care, and simply dismiss me as some kind of "woke lib". So the only benefit to making my feelings know would be to make me feel better.
They’re allowed to be maga it just can’t be without consequences
Worse, pragmatically speaking, they might actually benefit if I did that. Yes they lose me as a customer, but that's happening anyway. Now though, I've given them a story to tell. A cross to affix themselves to as they talk about their hardship of a single "woke lib" that drop them. If they even get a single person to accept their story, then they'll have replace the revenue they would have derived from me and are made "whole". Worse, they need only circulate the story in the areas we both live in and many of my MAGA neighbors would likely rally around them giving them even more business that before.
In these circumstances, the consequences for MAGAism for them would be positive as they would (at least for a short time) gain additional business from MAGAness.
This is one of those hard adult decision where the only move is to not play the game. I drop them as business I patronize and say nothing as to the reason of there MAGAness. I leave their (self inflicted) warning signs in place for others to see as I did, and without becoming a rallying cry which will benefit them.
This guy plays chess
Ooh good to know, I don’t want to give my hard-earned money to MAGAt nonsense.
I just checked to see who was listed in my area, I sure would like to boycott them but I'd never heard of any of them before so I guess I already was.
Scheele's, a big sporting good store, is on there. I switched to other options.
Well... fuck.
I love when people vote with their wallets.
However, I do wish that people would do it because of informed decision making instead out of spite.
It is an informed decision.
They choose the party where a creepy ass man with multiple crimes and convictions is their president, one that continues to dismantle American justice by directly locking up opposing judges, locked kids in cells, and directly threatening opposers.
They could have chosen anything -- to support local community. To back unity. To defend disenfranchised people.
Instead, they chose MAGA and everything it has with it.
Hah! I appreciate them making it easy on me. Mostly just real estate offices on it near me.
wake up honey, new BDS list just dropped.
but seriously I like that there's a list of "maga friendly businesses"... because up until now the fascism has been too subtle.
lol
Lmao, even
Full on ROFL.
As a consumer, PublicSquare’s website is easy to use. You just enter your ZIP code
Where? In the search box I just get a few products that happen to have my zip code in their description (not as a zip, but as a product number or something). Other comments here mention a map, but I'm not seeing that.
Edit: Found it. It's really buried.
I wanted a similar site but to track houses with Trump signs up. Have to upload pictures for the record, and cross referenced with MLS listings/sales so everything is expunged on property transfer.
No particular reason to keep this info around. Just a curiosity.
Intensely creepy. You're giving the redcaps ideas :(
My dude, they are black bagging people off the street and now our AG says ICE can walk into your home without a warrant.
If anything I am behind the curve.
Stop feeling sorry for nazis.
Hey bozo, not wanting to normalize creating lists of people based on politics is not "feeling sowwy for Nazis". Pay the fuck attention, this type of thing in this type of climate doesn't end well.
Businesses aren't people and we're allowed to vote with our wallets if nothing else. Plus, the red hats made the site, dummy. We're just using the list they gave us.
I wanted a similar site but to track houses
We aren't talking about businesses. Please read the discussion taking place before commenting in the future, thanks bud
Thank you for asking nicely, bud. But eh.
That would drive them absolutely batshit insane
In my head I called it The Scarlet Letter and the logo was a giant red burning T.
Not that I have put thought into it or anything 😅
Burning T...
Time... Time to go...
I recently bought some stuff online from Penzeys, specifically because of the anti-maga stuff.
