You can't use EBT cards for computer repairs. Doubt that he will lose any customers that would be offended by this.

I am more amazed he even has any customers....though I am guessing if he does have customers, that they are few and far between these days.

Indeed. In fact, I see his business going up.

"We have a system that is rigged at every level to give more influence to the right,"

Explain how.

Sorry for you loss of reality.

We have had the SAME "functioning democratic republic." for over 250 years now and I don't recall in my history class or in my lifetime where the "right" has ALWAYS won these elections.

If that was the case we would not have had Carter, Clinton OR Obama.

The dems would NOT have held the Hose for 40 straight years.

Pelosi would have NEVER been Speaker of the house.

Harry Reid would have never had control of the Senate.

The pendulum swings. Always has, always will.

Sometimes it just takes longer then others.

Isn't it odd how all these dems who LOST and predicted that Trump didn't have snowballs chance in helll of winning against "The smartest woman in the world", are NOW predicting how things are going to turn out!

It blows my mind.

The y can't even predict yesterday's weather.

Great business move. Get temporary bump from local conservatives. And a permanent loss from the local liberals. All in a state FULL of liberals.

He lives in one of the most progressive states in the US
He himself in the article admits that he is surrounded by liberals
I doubt that there are many people with EBT in his immediate area
And yes--I do think he will lose business---
It would be very interesting to know 5 or 6 mo from now if the sign has come down and the business is relocated to South Carolina where his attitudes are more in keeping with the average resident...

In my home state-TX--the Republicans have controlled the state legislature for long time...
There are Democrates in certain areas--urban, strong Hispanic or AA areas--but the Republicans made a strong effort in past 10 or so years to start gerrymandering districts to prevent strong, effective Democratic legislators and federal offices from being reelected....
And because of the justices on the Federal and our state bench they have basically gotten away with carving out persistant, guaranteed hard core conservative bases of power...and unless the borders of those precincts are changed (very unlikely given how conservative the federal gov't will be until 2020 when next census happens)
So in my state I am very afraid that the GOP HAS been able to lock-in its continued "winning" performance.

I agree he will lose business over this, and it's a shame because he gives voice to so many of us who are totally fed up with the left constantly using the media, the entertainment industry, our schools, to deride and indoctrinate America that Trump supporters are racists, bigots, ignorant, homophobes, and Islamaphobes. The left has control over most of the MSM, the entertainment industry, our complete education system, social media, and most of our pop culture. How does this create healthy diversity of thought or critical thinking skills?

You liberals only want diversity when you control the supposed "diversity." You are too afraid of ideas, facts, and beliefs outside your ideological bubble. The left controls way too much of America, and people are fed up.
