This isn't really malicious compliance. This is the very foundation of the point made by the Supreme Court. You should be able to refuse service to anyone for any reason. Anything less than that is the government engaging in violence to force you to work.

Just replace "Gay" with "Black" and see how awesome it sounds.

I doubt many trump supporters are shopping there anyways. even if they are trump supporters, good luck trying to prove it before denying a sale. they dont walk around with it stamped on their forehead ;)

Nothing wrong with this. Their business their choice. Only time will tell if it was a good choice. depending where it is I dont think it will be. I think everyone is tired of the back and forth bs !

I think this is ok. It’s how the market works. If you have enough people who agree with your stance, then you’ll survive, if not, you fail. Transversely, if you are trying to make a profitable business, you remove all roadblocks from a consumer who wants to do business with you.

Are you saying that minorities should not be protected?

European here so it may not be clear to me, but I thought discriminating against religious movements like the church or trump supporters is still illegal. Correct?

I can't imagine owning a business and actively promoting your willing to give up sales because of some random person's beliefs.

I fully understand consumers not shopping at a store that puts up signs you disagree with, you can just go to another one.

Nothing wrong in believing in and supporting the good things. I just think I'd not agitate customers if it were my business.

Read the rest of this thread. Some sort of TDS here.

Yeah - I have no idea why all these stupid libruls are angry at the 10s of millions of traitorous dipshits who voted for a traitorous dipshit who did everything he could to ruin the country. Must be TDS.

Who are we talking about here? Obama or Biden?

[–] Tsavo43@vlemmy.net 0 points 2 years ago

Have you read the other comments here? Every left leaning person responding is saying the same thing as the sign only against Trump supporters.

[–] ihavenopeopleskills@kbin.social -3 points 2 years ago

I'm personally offended by this, but...

  1. Regulating my emotions is my own problem and no one else's
  2. The business owner is well within their rights to do so.
    Just shop somewhere else.

Not cool for either party.

[–] FinnFooted@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Because "they go low we go high" has been working sooooo well.

Playing by different rules means the fascists win.
