"What if what happened to SHS happened to you?" [View all]

I've been told by Trump supporter family members "What if that was you and you were asked to leave because of your politics?"

First off, please, every business who supports Trump, let me know. I go to great pains to avoid restaurants and businesses, large and small, who support that no good piece of shit. I will not buy a car at Ernie Boch's in Norwood Ma., who had a fund raiser for Trump. I will not buy "my pillows". You get the point. I will not even eat in a restaurant if Fox News is on the TV.

To give you an example, my Dentist, who is an immigrant, had Fox News in the waiting room. My mother, my wife and I all go to him for dental services, and have for nearly 13 years. I asked the receptionist to change the station and she refused. I told my dentist if the station wasn't changed, or if I ever come in here again and Fox is on the TV, my family will be changing dentists. He fired the receptionist and CNN is always on now.

Another situation. I have maintenance on my main drain pipe done at my home twice a year, to make sure I never get a back up. A truck pulls up from the company I've used in the past, and this time it had a Trump sticker on the back. As the guy was starting to unpack his stuff, I told him, "put your shit back in the van. I'm cancelling the appointment. If you or your boss support Trump, you're not allowed in my house. I'll find a new company to do business with."

Asked to leave a restaurant? My answer would be, "thanks for letting me know that you are a Trump supporter. If I knew that in the first place, I would never have come in here."

And let's get something straight. This is not political, it's moral. I've done business with people who supported McCain, Bush, Romney. I disagreed with all three's politics, but I never found them to be immoral.

This is a new age. I love Michelle Obama, but her position, which I always held until now, "When they go low, we go high" didn't work out so well. We lost the Presidency, the Senate, the House and the Supreme Court in 2016 and it may take a fucking generation to win back what we lost in 2016.

I, for one, will not knowingly and willingly patronize a Trump supporter's business. You don't ever need to ask me to leave. I will gladly vacate the premises of a racist. Thanks for letting me know.
