I wanted a similar site but to track houses with Trump signs up. Have to upload pictures for the record, and cross referenced with MLS listings/sales so everything is expunged on property transfer.
No particular reason to keep this info around. Just a curiosity.
That would drive them absolutely batshit insane
In my head I called it The Scarlet Letter and the logo was a giant red burning T.
Not that I have put thought into it or anything 😅
Burning T…
Time… Time to go…
USA voter registration including party affiliation are public record. https://protectdemocracy.org/work/why-is-voter-registration-data-public/
Building the sort of database you suggest is a very double edge sword though. Use of personal data to persecute people is a tool of fascist. Persuading people as it is currently used by candidates and their proxies is arguably part of democratic (the arguably part is that humans don’t make rational decisions due to cognitive biases, so it is not a fair choice if presented with manipulated information), but it is a way to distribute directed information in this modern age.
We need community and more engagement, not less and isolation. I empathize with the outrage response, but suggest it’s worth being careful in actions that take the form of the enemy.

Intensely creepy. You’re giving the redcaps ideas :(
My dude, they are black bagging people off the street and now our AG says ICE can walk into your home without a warrant.
If anything I am behind the curve.
Stop feeling sorry for nazis.
Hey bozo, not wanting to normalize creating lists of people based on politics is not “feeling sowwy for Nazis”. Pay the fuck attention, this type of thing in this type of climate doesn’t end well.
When their politics include coming for people like me? Yeah, it’s well past time for lists.
You’re right. We shouldn’t be creating lists.
Since they’re Nazis, the only thing we should be doing is killing them. Them, and anyone who collaborates or protects them.
Businesses aren’t people and we’re allowed to vote with our wallets if nothing else. Plus, the red hats made the site, dummy. We’re just using the list they gave us.

We aren’t talking about businesses. Please read the discussion taking place before commenting in the future, thanks bud
Thank you for asking nicely, bud. But eh.
There should be no tolerance for intolerance.
Zero promoted businesses in my zip code.
Nice.
Same here, which is kinda surprising since I live in a heavily conservative area.
lol. This site is comedy.
A lot of MAGAs registered in my county. A county Trump only got 21% in.
Why the fuck would you slap a MAGA sign on your business when 80% of your potential customers hate that shit?
When you’ve convinced yourself that your parties membership is like twice the size it actually is you make great decisions
Hey, putting their money where their mouth is, I don’t have a problem with that.
Great for the rest of us anyways lol
They got a majority of votes. Unless you live in a deep blue area it’s likely to get you more customers than it costs, at least for now. Most customers won’t care either way, they’re at your business to buy your goods/services, not as a political statement.
Those signs will go down fast except for the very political and deep red areas once we’re in a post-Trump world.
Plurality of votes.
Gotta say, I love the idea of a private company being called ‘PublicSquare’… and the irony of this utterly whooshing over the heads of literally everyone involved.
They seem like the kind of people that would hate an actual public square
They would all arrive at the market and insist on being able to open carry slung AR15s, and then be utterly baffled by the concept of a weapons check.
Like… even in ‘the West’ (yeehaw cowboys West) it was pretty common to have a weapons check at bars… because they quickly learned that if you don’t do that, well, patrons don’t enjoy the risk of getting their balls blown off while trying to throwback a shot of whiskey, because two other idiots nearby got into a fight.
Literally the fabled Tombstone, AZ, did this, as a city wide ordinance.

Gun control is older than almost half the states in the union.
Logic is not one if their strengths.
It’s a null set.
Smart people don’t vote Trump, but that doesn’t mean they’re not jerks willing to take advantage of dumbasses that do.
It’s the power of living in the bubble
I’m in a place that is the complete opposite. Slap a MAGA sticker on it and people will pay extra.
And having done business in those areas, I know not to hang a “Feel the Bern” sign up. I’m Switzerland from 9-5.

Well shit. The landscaping company we signed up for this year is a MAGAt apparently. I’ll be shopping for a different company now.
Make sure you tell them why you’re firing them, and post a review on their Google page. Dont mention the quality of the service, just that you dropped them for their treasonous support of MAGA Nazis.
I’m on the fence about telling them why. I have zero faith that losing me as a customer will make them reconsider their political position even if it would make me feel better. What it may do it make them remove their add from the MAGAt site meaning we lose the warning signal to others.
As far as leaving reviews pointing out there MAGAness, I’m in a red state and that may help them. They love their martyrs, so I’m definitely skipping that step.
Valid.
Yah, it isn’t like they’re going to say “Oh no! We lost a customer. I’m having an ethical dilemma now.”
I kinda don’t care about hearts and minds. Let them know you dropped them for that reason, the scorn is enough. They’re allowed to be maga it just can’t be without consequences
I kinda don’t care about hearts and minds. Let them know you dropped them for that reason, the scorn is enough.
I get where you are but this is contradictory. If we don’t care about addressing mindsets of folks then making my position known is the opposite of that. They likely won’t care, and simply dismiss me as some kind of “woke lib”. So the only benefit to making my feelings know would be to make me feel better.
They’re allowed to be maga it just can’t be without consequences
Worse, pragmatically speaking, they might actually benefit if I did that. Yes they lose me as a customer, but that’s happening anyway. Now though, I’ve given them a story to tell. A cross to affix themselves to as they talk about their hardship of a single “woke lib” that drop them. If they even get a single person to accept their story, then they’ll have replace the revenue they would have derived from me and are made “whole”. Worse, they need only circulate the story in the areas we both live in and many of my MAGA neighbors would likely rally around them giving them even more business that before.
In these circumstances, the consequences for MAGAism for them would be positive as they would (at least for a short time) gain additional business from MAGAness.
This is one of those hard adult decision where the only move is to not play the game. I drop them as business I patronize and say nothing as to the reason of there MAGAness. I leave their (self inflicted) warning signs in place for others to see as I did, and without becoming a rallying cry which will benefit them.
This guy plays chess
Four Seasons?
Their statement on being a press conference venue for the Trump administration was that their business was not supporting anyone in particular, but was thrilled to be part of the democratic process. The tone this statement was said in led me to believe that they were also thrilled to facilitate Trump’s goons making a hilarious fuck-up.
Nah, that’s a conference venue. You’re thinking of the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center & Fairgrounds in Oaks, Pennsylvania.
I’m thinking that it will be fun to call this out on Yelp and Google reviews pages in blue areas.
Make sure you let them know why.
I get why you say that, but keep reading the thread for the discussion as to why I shouldn’t (and am not going to).
I’m gonna guess that lots of landscapers are maga.

Does anyone know of an indirect or mirrored source, just wondering if it will go down. Obviously the way back machine, but I’m not sure if it will pull the databased side of it.
OK, holy fuck, there are 48 k unique businesses in there in just the first 1900 zipcodes.
Not really, I just looked at it, They’re behind cloudflare so scraping them would be painful. Tried hitting the api and unhinging location and distance, they hard cap 250 results. Js is required to get the results. We could go zipcode by zipcode, in the browser with GPS coordinates (available for free) but there are 33k zipcodes and if anyone hits more than a few, cloudflare is going to robot check you.
Any way we could keep a historical record of these businesses? I can foresee them doing a full cleansing of their internet presence as they lose business.
There’s additional mirrors, but that’s the big one
Archive.org retains the website. I want to track the actual data. I haven’t had a moment to inspect the website to see how the data is being pulled.
I’m worried they’ll pull another 2008, where everyone decided they hadn’t voted for W in 2004 so nothing was their fault, they’d been ‘liberteranians’ all along.
We need to remember who supported him, this matters.
lol
Lmao, even
Full on ROFL.
wake up honey, new BDS list just dropped.
but seriously I like that there’s a list of “maga friendly businesses”… because up until now the fascism has been too subtle.
Only had two places in my area (heavy POC area so… Awkward), but I’ve left my “review.” I’ve never been to either place, but at least I know who they are so I can keep avoiding.
It’s hilarious. There’s a bunch of reviews on Yelp/Google maps calling those businesses out in my city.
Want to support MAGA? Tough.
I just checked to see who was listed in my area, I sure would like to boycott them but I’d never heard of any of them before so I guess I already was.
Nothing says you can’t share that information in a review
Hah! I appreciate them making it easy on me. Mostly just real estate offices on it near me.
Is it just me or does Don Jr. Look like Harry Ellis from Die Hard? Only with even less charisma and double the sleaze.
Imagine being named Donald jr. Gross.
Damn a restaurant I like is on this stupid site. It’s surprising because most of the stuff in my area that’s on here is like realtors, explicitly right wing businesses with patriot in the name, or like when you go in there it’s all thin blue line flags and shit. This is just a normal restaurant with normal decor. I’m not really surprised the owners are apparently Trumpy, pretty much all the business owners in my area are, I’m just surprised to see them on this site
I recently bought some stuff online from Penzeys, specifically because of the anti-maga stuff.
My mom orders stuff from them all the time. We don’t even use the spices fast enough but she gets more, usually for her friends too though.
Ooh good to know, I don’t want to give my hard-earned money to MAGAt nonsense.
