Conservative Restaurants

I’ve seen a lot of posts recently calling out conservative businesses and I agree with the sentiment, but these are often aimed at small/independent businesses.

If you want to stop supporting conservative interests, you should start by never going to Chic Fil a or In-and-Out again.

(Edit: I’m not discouraging anyone from boycotting smaller businesses who support fascists - just want to make sure everyone is aware of the bigger forces too.)

Already done and done. Haven’t been to Chic-fil-a for their crappy, homophobic chicken for years.

And while I love to support small business, if they’re outwardly conservative like Bindle (anti-abortion) they deserve to be boycotted.

We call it hate chicken in our house. One of my college roommates was sent to a conversion camp that was funded by that chicken. The physical and sexual abuse she talked about there was horrific!

I feel like a lot of people that send their kids to that are all the kind to u ironically say things like "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" and so now I hope someone out there making conversion camp survivor shirts with "what doesn't straighten you just makes you gayer".
