No more! I Refuse to ever use services of a MAGA

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

Any MAGA supporters gets this from me…..

“I no longer will use your services or company.”

I STOPPED using a Tile/Marble contractor that I have used for
nearly 40 years. He is a MAGA nutcase.

There are many other subcontractors to use!
I know the ones with the TRUMP a bumper stickers.
I WILL NOT HAVE ANY ALLOWED ON ANY ON MY PROJECTS.

Another service company I used for years, small company, the owner
does a lot of the work himself —- NEVER will use him again.

I will NOT spend any monies on ANY Trump supporter.

I even cancelled work after they showed up onsite,
With their “Trump truck”, told them to “please leave!”

ONLY ONCE did I allow a worker who drove his large truck w/ Trump sticker on window
to park at jobsite to return —— I TALKED TO OWNER OF COMPANY, And he had that employee truck NEVER return to my jobsite

[SheltieLover]

1. Absolutely!

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

2. I have also kicked off jobsite a semi w/ Confederate sticker flag too

A delivery truck, semi with a Confederate large ‘flag’ over the
semi’s front grille arrived at jobsite

Told him to remove that ‘crap’ And do NOT return ever again if he has that
Crap on truck.

I called owner of that company, And I told him the same thing.

No truck will be allowed at any of our job sites with that crap on trucks. Period!

[SheltieLover]

3. Good for you!

On a smaller scale, believe it or not, hairdressers in the Memphis region are "not taught to cut hair" in cosmetology school.

I've tried & tried to get a decent haircut to no avail, then found ONE woman capable of cutting hair, to the tune of $70/cut.

But she is a magat.

I just cannot go there again. Sickening!

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

5. No commercial property owner(s) want or allow hate crap like that.

Over the decades in commercial construction,

No commercial property owners want ANY of that racist crap on their properties.
None.

Most commercial contracts commonly have a legal clause(s) that forbid such.

Some high rise job sites I have worked on have 100s of vehicles, 100s of workers onsite each day,
Dozens of semi deliveries a day — THERE IS NO ROOM FOR RASCIST ASSHOLES.

It was bad enough back then on-site when chewing tobacco spit was common.
Thank god that’s almost 100% gone now.

[SheltieLover]

7. You're right, of course!

But DOJ's complete failure to prosecute and imprison tfg has resulted in magats becoming emboldened, as is always the way with bullies whose behavior is not met with swift & stronge opposing force.

I commend you for forcing them to adhere to proper decorum!



Not much I could do with the magat hairdresser who owns the shop. I didn't think it a good idea to piss off a female magat standing over me with scissors.

[Clouds Passing]

17. Nobody is taught how to cut hair anymore.

I’ve been through 20 hairstylists in the last 20 years. Nobody knows how to figure out how to do a haircut. Or they take longer to shampoo and condition than to do the cut. They don't backcheck their work anymore or make sure both sides are even. It’s a sloppy fucking mess. “Hurry up, git her dun”

[SheltieLover]

21. Ridiculous!

More $$$ in coloring hair, but people still need haircuts!

[birdographer]

23. I cut my own now

I am in my 70’s. Absolutely no matter what I say, how many pictures I take in, these 20-somethings give me their best Betty White (RIP, loved her), complete with pin curls around the top, flourishes on the sides, and a helmet of hair spray. They think that’s what all old ladies want and need.

My preferred look is a bit like the current Jamie Lee Curtis—though a little longer and I don’t use product so I don’t have the pouffy top, and I have some bangs. But simple. So I bought some good hair-cutting scissors and some cool thinning scissors, and I go for it. And I love the result. If I leave a “wing” here and there, I just snip it off and thin the end to make it lay down. I can layer using the thinning scissors. Gotta be super careful—those scissors are sharp!

[Clouds Passing]

24. I cut mine too. Can't hold my arms up long enough anymore to do layers.

I learned the Redken method, how to put together any kind of cut. Love Jaime’s cut, so cute.

[Seinan Sensei]

32. I learned the "Flowbee method"

Haven't been to a barber in decades

[Clouds Passing]

33. ...

[chowmama]

30. I hate stylists that won't listen

I walked out in the middle, years ago, because she was suggesting strongly something I had no interest in. When I insisted on my decision, she said, and I quote, "Oh, honey, you just need a little push." At that point, I knew she'd cut it her way and be proud of herself for sticking me with the results. She lost a sale that day and the salon lost a customer thereafter.

And I stopped having my hair cut at all just before Covid. The latest stylist insisted I didn't look good in a pixie cut, which I'd had for years. Probably I don't, but I need my hair out of the way of the microscope lens and I don't give a bat crap how it looks. The dogs and cats don't care either and neither does DH. When I tried to explain this to her, she looked at me like I'd just started to speak Ancient Sumerian. She kept inching me towards a full 'Karen' helmet head which would have required shellac to keep out of my way even if it was more age appropriate. And, ew...Ew, ew, ew!

It's now halfway down my back. I get 3" trimmed once yearly to help the short ends catch up. I tie it back and it stays put. Cheap and easy.

[woodsprite]

4. Same here, or ones who blatantly post all their christian beliefs, quotes, etc., on their site, equipment, etc. nt

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

6. Decades ago... bible thumper Glass contractor......

I liked the guy. Glass contractor, but used only for
small to maybe medium size projects

Really did, except for him ALWAYS putting ‘god’ into his answers to me.
About when he was going to get the work done! “God” this and “god” that…

Annoying

Always had to double check his invoices,
Too many times over billing, or ‘forgetting’ previous draws/pmts

[benfranklin1776]

8. Obviously he spent so much time thumping the Good Book he never bothered to read it.

Like that whole thing about “Thou Shall Not Steal.” He provides living proof of Jesus’s maxim “By their deeds ye shall know them.”

Good for you for doing the right thing which I think we all should emulate as the posters above have. ✊🏼No need to financially subsidize those who loathe us and wish us and all of humanity to suffer.

[BlueSky3]

11. We used to have these types knock at our front door

to “witness” at us and I’d ask them, “What makes you think your faith is greater than mine?” I didn’t elaborate, because we’re Quakers and don’t proselytize, but that usually sent them away.

[ReRe]

20. I just tell those religious folks

"I'm Catholic" and they run away.

[boonecreek]

29. I wonder what they would do

if you told them you were a Pastafarian. Probably just give you a quizzical look.

[The Wizard]

36. In God We Trust

is on all of the money and none of the churches.

[dobleremolque]

16. Someone used to publish a directory of "Christian" businesses here and

I was grateful for the list of companies to avoid. When someone brags about how Christian they are, hold your wallet a little tighter.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. Have to let them know or they'll never figure out why their business has dropped 10 percent. . . .nt

There are more non-maga than cult members.

[Historic NY]

10. Just remember the SCOTUS you have a right to refuse service

its not just the baker or the candle stick maker. So I won't spend my money with them.

[quitnesset]

12. Or buy supplies from magats

We own our wholesale jewelry company and I told our shipping department they were not to use Uline for boxes or other shipping supplies.

[progressoid]

13. Uline always seemed overpriced anyway.

Of course I haven't had to procure stuff like that for over a decade so I'm a little behind the times.

[Betty Boom]

38. Was so dusgusted

I bought several of their runners, until I paged to the back around the time of the election and saw a full page endorsement of Trump. I was so disgusted I called them and said don’t ever send me another catalog and here’s the reason why

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Gotta call it out, or just don't do business with any of them at least.

[Nigrum Cattus]

15. Excellent !

Only when this hits the repugs will they "get it".
I was raised that "turn about is fair play"
NO PRISONERS

[DENVERPOPS]

18. I would guess

that you might want to research the proportions of MAGAs on your local Fire Dept and Police Dept before you call them......
as well as many other government agencies........

[MotownPgh]

28. Yes I'm terrified to be pulled over

Seems they are drawn to those lines of work. Or they like socialism when it's paying their pensions.

[Mr.Bee]

19. Reminder: "Economic Blackout"

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220008980

[aggiesal]

22. I started doing that in 2020 ...

The Mortgage Broker I used is a Trumper. The closer we got to the election, the worse it got.
I finally said, I will no longer use you. I refuse to let you make money off of me so that you can donate it, to the MAGA cause.
I stopped using Home Depot only as a last resort.
I stopped using Enterprise Car Rentals, they donated big to Mierda47.
...
And the beat goes on.

I went to the play Wicked The Musical this weekend. Really good play.
During intermission I was talking to the person next to me about theater.
Well, I got to a point, where we were discussing future plays that we would see.
I asked if she got her Hamilton tickets and she immediately cringed her face,
shook or head back and forth and said "Noooo, I'm not interested in seeing Hamilton."
I instantly knew she was MAGA.

I still tried to convince her to see it. I told her that I was not a fan of Hip-Hop,
but the first time I saw the Disney recording of the Play with the original cast.
I was hooked. Asked if she has Disney+, and she said she does. So I told her to
watch it on Disney+.

Maybe I can convince someone to move past their preconceived bubble prejudices.

[johnnyfins]

25. I always ask small businesses if they

Support TSF. If it's a yes(let's face it, they are arrogant and stupid enough to say it), Im out the door.

[johnnyfins]

26. If they hedge and say

They dont do politics, Im out the door.

[PatSeg]

27. Yes, right about now that is akin to displaying

a Swastika on ones vehicle.

[regnaD kciN]

31. But..."FREEEZE PEEEEEEACH!!!"

[calimary]

46. Hah! I just got that!

Took me awhile.

[2naSalit]

34. I started doing that back in 2018...

Still doing it as much as possible, kind of hard when most everyone in your environs are magats.

I'll be glad when I relocate.

[A_Steel_Magnolia]

35. Business is not about politics even when you work for the government (outside of political campaigns).

Besides, weaponizing politics as part of doing business is unprofessional. TSF 's influence is obvious here. Because he weaponizes everything constantly, he normalizes that unbelievably bad behavior. I'm old enough to remember when you didn't talk politics or religion in polite company. As it happens, a person's values and beliefs are impacted by information, disinformation, misinformation, propaganda, doctrine, dogma, rumor, conspiracy theories and when we're lucky, hard facts. Unfortunately, politics does not bring out the best in most of us, and TSF has turned it into a toxic sludge.

Do what works for you. MAGAts can be mean, conniving, selfish and even cruel I just don't need those people in my life. I certainly don't want them to influence my thoughts or attitude.

[V850i]

37. Easy one, switch cell phone carrier

AT&T and Verizon were big donors to the Inauguration.

[halobeam]

47. Not so easy for a senior woman driving alone in an older car.

I already dropped both of those, and the service I have now drops calls even when I'm in my own home, has failed text messages on the regular. I am ready to go back to Verizon as much as I would hate to, I need to be safe.

Do you know of another service that is reliable? I would be thrilled to look into it! I am changing who I am buying from in every way I can. I don't care about inconvenience, that is not a game changer for me. Safety is.

[no_hypocrisy]

39. Maybe in the tradition of the "Christian Yellow Pages,"

maybe someone should publish "Non-MAGA Yellow Pages".

https://www.christianyellowpages.com/

[Footay]

40. As a business owner, I am on the other side of this

I struggle with this all the time. I am in a super red area, and a lot of my clients are MAGA. One of my very best clients is a huge one. We don't talk politics, but he likes to talk, and I can tell from the conversations.

Would I like to not have any MAGA clients? Of course, but I also am realistic.

My happy medium is to take a portion of the proceeds I make from my MAGA clients and donate them to a blue cause. The largest benefactor this year was the local Pride center.

[Oopsie Daisy]

41. I avoid businesses that display the Jesus Fish emblem on their doors, vehicles, and in the old *

* Yellow Pages ads. (But it's been a decade at least since we've had yellow page phone directories distributed here.)

[intheflow]

42. I've taken to writing Yelp reviews for businesses w/Trump vibes.

Some are blatant, flying Trump flags over their businesses or putting Trump stickers on their vehicles. But if I go into a bar or pizza joint that’s playing Fox News, I’m leaving and leaving them a review like, “This company supports Donald Trump. Unless you want your pizza to taste like boots that have been heavily licked, there are 10 other pizza joints in a 2 mile radius.”

[mucholderthandirt]

43. I'm wth you, in my own small way. I got rid of the guy who mowed my yeard months ago.

Made ugly faces at my Harris poster in the window, and the Harris/Walz sign on my door. So out he goes. He was slowly doing a worse and worse job mowing and had stopped weedeating. It was what he agreed to do, for the price, and I told my brother his services were no longer desired. I'll let it go to weeds over my head before I hire any MAGA fool.

[PennRalphie]

44. I'm genuinely curious about something

Having a list of preferred contractors and retailers is a good idea. There’s so many out there, it’s your choice who you hire and who you frequent. To say that you do that for everyone just pushes the lever a bit far.

When you purchase a car, used or new, do you look at the ownership of the dealer? A Subaru dealer could be owned by the biggest republican out there. Salespeople, mechanics too. A franchised restaurant could be owned by a very progressive liberal who donates to great causes. How far down, how deeply do you investigate? How on earth do you find time for that?

When I see people saying this, I wonder what you do at Emergency Rooms. You want a doctor to treat you. You want a doctor and staff to help you. I’ve never once witnessed a patient ask any hospital staff their political views before treatment.

Contractors? Sure. Retailers? Yes. But many others, it just doesn’t work.

[Polybius]

45. Almost impossible to do where I live

I live in a Bright Red area in Staten Island.
