Website For MAGA-Friendly Businesses Backfires As People Use It For Boycotts
www.huffpost.com
Social media posts about PublicSquare have gone viral as Trump critics use it to find companies not to support – the opposite of what the site was set up for.

So this is a wonderful resource to help avoid local business that are run by Neo-Nazis.

    Glad to hear about this site today, gave the few businesses with actual Internet presence in my area bad reviews for their bad business practices of supporting Nazis

    I’ve had business owners complain to me before for reviewing them without being a customer but Google has backed me up and left my review up every time (I check every so often): any interaction with your company is grounds for review, including ads (and people driving company vehicles, which is where many of my bad reviews come from)

    In nature, animals warn us that they are poisonous or dangerous by displaying bright colors, warning sounds or by wearing little red hats.

    the subreddit for my city has a post about this every so often, and that site is absolutely used to single out the places to avoid. Funny that Huffpost just got around to writing about it

    I feel lucky - my zip code returned zero results. That said, I’m always down for a good boycott.

      Be sure you’re searching from the map page. The article strongly implies that you can just search for your zip code in the main search bar, but that’s completely wrong. It took me forever to figure out how to get to the map The site is horrid.

      The website was made by MAGA so as expected the search doesn’t work. You have to use the map, use the +/- buttons to zoom out, center where you’re at, and then hit search the area.

    Only 3 hits for my zip code & none of them are anything I’d use.

    I use GoodUniteUs for the same purpose while grocery shopping.

    Seattle’s businesses are mostly sports related for Kraken and Mariners. Do the owners of these teams know how they’re connected to white nationalist merchandise? One of the others is a book store that has a lot of genealogy (hmm) and confederate crap.
