Distracts from the fact that their lives suck only because of themselves. "Libs are ruining this country!", thus to blame for all their real and perceived ills. Well, don't blame me for your dumb life choices, goobers. Or your feelings of intellectual, economic and / or anatomical inadequacies.

As for Cracker Barrel, if they want to boycott, fine. Less trash, shorter wait times. I'm all for it.

The liberals are making that chain restaurant go woke because we're nefarious and influential like that.

Although to be fair, I actually like some of their food okay. I have right wing relatives that used to like to go there, and I found stuff on the menu that I enjoyed. But I always figured they wanted to go there because it was on their RW-fundie church's list of "approved" eateries (like Chik-Fil-A, where I never found ANYTHING special that I couldn't get somewhere else).

I guess I don't have to worry about RW fundy relatives wanting to eat there anymore. As long as they don't now insist on Chik Fil A, that's cool.

there was a snow storm. I used to work with cattle. Now I know how the cattle felt to be herded. What is all that stuff stuck to the floor and waxed over? Oh wait, I would rather not know.

I still don’t understand how this became an anti-woke crusade for these people. I don’t care for the new design but how exactly did this become “we must boycott. Racket Barrel”? So many “go woke go broke” tweets and posts and I’m really just confused by it all.

Plain, highly readable logo, vs stylized, less readable old logo. Doesn't look like much, does it? I guess the guy with the barrel represents the old guy sitting outside the filling station or the barber shop, rocking his troubles away on a lazy southern day.

... though from my vantage point, as a graphic designer for the past 60 years, the logo change is really bad, and sterilizing the decor set a new standard in cringe-inducing corporate stupidity, so I can sympathize to a degree. But we do have greater issues with which to concern ourselves these days, doncha think?
