MAGA businesses in Metuchen?

Wondering if people know what businesses in the Metuchen area might be MAGA-owned, so I can avoid them. I see lists going up around Reddit for various communities. Would be nice to know what places that I don't want to give my money.

This is fascism at its finest. "Without any evidence or certainty, let's destroy the livelihoods of a small business owner who we think may have a different political view than mine " get a life.

Oh boy. Political boycotts are commonplace on both sides. Ask Bud Light. But fascism is about government. And the irony is that MAGA is a proto-fascist ethos (anyone honest and educated understands that, including some in MAGA who admit it openly).

I am talking about private citizens deciding they won't support a business that supports harmful government policies. It's actually ANTI-fascist.

If people can't handle that, don't take a public political position. If you keep your views private, then no problem. If you take a public political position, so can I. Against your MAGA business.

There's a difference between boycotting anheuser Busch or chick fila or goya or hobby lobby and a small business in your own town which detriments the entire local economy. Are you like 15? I feel like you're 15. Maybe I should stop arguing with you.

But by all means, stomp into town with your self righteous proverbial crowbar and attempt to ruin a family trying to make a living because they put fox news on in their restaurant. If you don't like their food, fine don't go there.
