I was too busy shopping at Home Depot in a very liberal state to pay attention to people getting their panties in a wad over something so minimal.

OK.

But you asked where it was, and I showed it was there.

What's not to like, lol? Liberals plant gardens and fix up the house. We're buying a new shower head next--I don't get why we wouldn't go to Home Depot.
Because -- and, yes, this is opinion, but it is based on many years of reading the City Data P&OC forum -- I think that most liberals are urban dwellers, and they either live in apartments with maintenance people or they are wealthy enough to hire workers to do things like landscaping and home repairs for them. There are liberal homeowners, too, of course, but I believe they are not as common as working-to-middle-class conservative homeowners; and I think this was shown by the 2016 election results.

I could be wrong, of course.

Liberals have soft hands. Don't use tools.

RWNJ's and Trump supporters don't have anything to offer, so they make stuff up to make Libs look crazy. The base eats it up, the rest of the world simply doesn't care.

Me: I don't care if the CEO, a hired person supports Trump. To me, it is not a positive, but it's his choice to vote as he wishes. It might discourage me from investing in their stock, but not on moral grounds, I just don't want to invest in someone who thinks Trump is good for the long-term health of America. My opinion is that he's not, so I would not invest in someone who I disagree with. That is simple dollars and sense (spelled intentionally).

I asked where this outrage was then like it is now. I can tell you it was not there. If it was more articles other than Forbes would easily be found.
I find it hilarious that Home Depot was on the list of places to shop on this article from 2016.

I still stand by this being FALSE outrage.

LOL, good luck libs

Home depot almost certainly has a higher concentration of Trump supporters than most other stores.

I can't imagine that soy boys, beta males, antifa, pussyhats, and BLM do much shopping at Home Depot.


LOL

Just hard to find now because it's overwhelmed by the recent coverage. But it was all over the place. The #boycotthomedepot hashtag being used in this round 2 dates to 2016.

The fact that there's a round two, for the same issue is in itself hilarious.

Sigh...you really don't get it. In 2016 it was not TRENDING<----- this is a twitter thing, like it is today. FALSE OUTRAGE.

Your second link....proves that Marcus is RETIRED.

What one does with their retirement (regardless of who it is from) is their choice. It does not reflect on where they retire from. Lets just say you retired from Home Depot....if you donated your money from your retirement to say Bernie does that represent Home Depot?

Do you get it now? Do you get how this is a very false outrage? Do you see how silly this is.

Have a good day if you don't.
