I feel like the recent cracker barrel "controversy" is just overly online chuds trying to recreate the energy of the bud light boycott. what are the conservatives in your life saying about it? (hexbear.net)

the bud light boycott was one of the few successful political boycotts in the US in recent memory. I remember chuds tried it with gillette, nike, keurig, probably others I'm not remembering right now, but bud light is the one that worked, and it had a big effect on the company. the closest the USian left had to a boycott that big was target, but they're just down in stock price, they're not yet at the point where they're closing stores.

I don’t think it’s been picked up by their mainstream news source yet so they haven’t been told how to feel about it/do not know about it. But don’t worry, that thing that they didn’t know about because it didn’t affect their lives at all will become front and center if they need ammunition, and we’ll see clam fishermen crackling away all their chowder crackers and distillers burning their barrels for like, 2 weeks on social media (and then the gofundmes will follow asking for money for new crackers and barrels)
