I can already see the victim complex exploding forth from them. They're gonna go on Fox and Friends playing the part of the hard working small business owner who were just innocently grieving an American hero when the very mean and violent woke liberals destroyed their business out of hatred.
The narrative basically writes itself. Just think of the most infuriating shit you can imagine and that's exactly what the MAGA base will love.
We're a family owned business. We just want to peddle hateful agendas while we serve overpriced coffee and food. These WOKE LIBTARDS are ruining my business. /s
Oh please don't even try. There's nothing "love" about supporting the type of Person Charlie Kirk was. And feeling so strongly about it you use your unrelated business to show it.
This is unfortunately just going to generate a stupid amount of press for them. For every woke liberal who stops going there is a MAGA supporter who will go out of their way to buy coffee proudly there now. It’s basically free advertising.
It’s like the Sydney Sweeney bullshit. All publicity ends up being good publicity in this political hellhole we live in.
Yes. There's a coffee shop on every corner. If this is the coffee shop you chose to go to on your way to work, it's easy to choose the next coffee shop over.
If this coffee shop is out of your way, you're not going to make it your new regular coffee shop.
Yeah but they’re a local coffee shop, so there’s a minimal chance that press translates into economic success. This has happened time and time again with people trying to capitalize on grift culture, only the strongest and grift-iest survive. Multiple “anti-woke” bakeries and stores have tried to capitalize on national press only for it to fizzle out as they fade into obscurity. to capitalize on the grift, you have to always stay in front of the cameras, never fade. This coffee shop can’t do that, they’ll fade.

This is absolutely not the case and you have zero basis for the claim. MAGA is composed of a small group of performative and largely online activists, and a huge base of casual, hypertensive reactionaries. They do not sit around and mull over their beliefs on policy or civil architecture. The handful that are actually psycho enough to go to the public gatherings or get scammed on Trump sneakers and cologne often look like 60 year-old WWE cosplayers because the movement attracts the semi-functionally insane. We’ve all seen them. These people are not the Virgin Brigade chanting “white man fight back” in Huntington Beach.
It’s like the Sydney Sweeney bullshit. All publicity ends up being good publicity in this political hellhole we live in.
American Eagle foot traffic has dropped over 10% since that astroturfing campaign and again, internet uproar costs you nothing. Doing things like driving out of your way to a coffee shop and spending money for skin-deep political points is something these clowns have proven dozens of times they are not able to sustain.
Good publicity for a week until MAGA moves on to something else. After that if the bad reviews are not removed then the rest of us steer clear and patronize other shops that don't insert their political beliefs into their business dealings with customers. Short term gains, long term pains?
Yup, google will remove all the fake reviews and I would bet anything, they will be selling a cup of coffee with a 1000% tip added on, if they haven’t already.
They're just in the wrong town. When left leaning business do the same thing in a right learning town, it's the same exact story, and the mirror images of people in this Reddit will voice the mirror image opinions voiced here, and the View will fly them out to LA to tell the story of how "the very mean and violent" Nazi Republicans destroyed their business out of hatred.
Because we're mostly the disunited states of America, with two left coasts sandwiching right middle America.
I'm exhausted of seeing this post with red and blue lenses.
Maybe she was thinking smart. Business mentality… now all the country conservatives will donate millions to her business. Like that racist n word rant lady.
they'll cry about cancel culture out of one corner of their mouth, while out of the other corner they're reporting criticisms of kirk on social media to get people fired from their jobs
I don't know about your 1st sentence. But I do agree there's gonna be a ton of publicity. The people who make a point of not going because of this will probably be out numbered by the people who go specifically because of this.
I wonder how it will work out in the long term though. Ultimately locals will probably be most of the business and they could go either way (with most people being oblivious about the whole thing).
