I Am Amused

PublicSquare, which touts itself as an, "Anti-woke online marketplace," has has discovered that its MAGAt friendly listings are being used by many people as a boycott list.

I do not have a small enough violin for them:

PublicSquare, a website which bills itself as “the anti-woke online marketplace" and offers a list of MAGA-friendly businesses, found its mission completely upended after critics instead used the site to fuel boycotts around the country.

The platform connects tens of thousands of businesses across the country that publicly align with MAGA views and oppose “progressive priorities” such as women’s reproductive rights and diversity initiatives. To list a business on the site, owners must first affirm that they will “respect the core values of PublicSquare” and agree not to “support causes that are in direct conflict with our core values.”

PublicSquare urges the MAGA faithful "to embrace this community of customers and merchants by providing platforms, products, and services that enrich the way of life they hold dear.” It notes it "is on a mission to restore the culture through the power of commerce."

To use the platform, you simply enter your ZIP code and it shows businesses nearby that openly align themselves with Trump and his values. PublicSquare, which launched in 2022, also has direct ties to Trump—Donald Trump Jr. sits on the board of directors and is one of its investors.

Jeff, who had extensively researched PublicSquare at his previous bank job, chimed in with a tip about the platform:

“MAGA has made it easy for all of us to avoid their businesses. A couple years ago, they introduced a website — publicsq.com — to promote MAGA businesses. We can use that same tool to make informed purchasing decisions.”

His post quickly gained traction, spreading across Reddit threads nationwide among people eager to do whatever they can to oppose President Trump.

Won't someone think of the children? 

Seriously, this is a case of, "You mess with the bull, you get the horns," or as I like to say, "This is what happens when you fist f%$# a cobra."

The solution is to stop fist f%$#ing cobras.
