Fighting MAGA at a local furniture store. [View all]

My husband and I were shopping for a glider for our small patio. We found a furniture warehouse in Cleveland that had what we were looking for. We were standing at the desk chatting with the salesman and had paid for our purchase and were making delivery plans.
I looked behind the desk and saw a picture of Canada covered in a US flag and some nonsense about the Gulf of America. I pointed at the picture and said to my husband cancel the order, which he immediately did. The salesman said why are you canceling and I pointed to the sign. I said we don’t believe in mixing business and politics. He said, wow that never happened before. As we were leaving I said that I lost a brother to Vietnam and I am sick of all the bullshit and we walked out the door. It felt so good to fight back in a small way.
