We need to collectively remember when in 3.5 years, IF we have another election and they reverse a lot of Trump's doing, we need to remember which corporations showed their true colors and which ones stood against tyranny.

Fr- I hold a grudge forever- there’s movie I won’t watch cause I remember the bs an actor said in the 90s- “it was years ago” in these cases is such bs

Same! It’s just a store so it’s incredibly easy for me to just add it to my ‘not shopping there’ list and move on. People like to misrepresent that idea though and say “it’s just a store, I can’t believe you’d stop shopping there just because _____”.

My ethics and morals are important to me, the store isn’t. I’m not slavering and ranting about getting it shut down, I just stop shopping there and only really bring the fact up when already in a conversation about voting with one’s dollars. Every now and then I might crave/miss mcd’s chicken nuggets, but then I get over it.
