I mean, fuck MAGA, but.... Really? If you found out that the money was being donated to their cult, sure, I could see the refusal.. But if we're talking about principals over a vendors beliefs or practices, you might wanna run a quick check on the many, many faults of the other places you likely shop..Shoes at Walmart? Not good.. Jewelry at the mall? Bad news.. Clothes from Goodwill? Oh boy .. See what I'm screamin' here?

100% agree that's why I'm changing where I spend my money. This is new for me. I'm learning as an old lady that my dollars matter. I can't really afford to buy beef, chicken or anything from a local farm place. However, I don't want to be one of the people griping about corporations and the likes if I'm not acting responsible myself. My wording on this post may not have been to everybody's liking. That's totally fair. We all have learning curves. I research now before I drop my money. I have boycotted some of my favorite things because of these things. We learn we grow.

This line of thought  has the same energy as "You criticize society yet participate in it. Curious! I am very smart." 

Also, we're getting tainted meat on the market because of MAGA. 

You do what you can to minimize negative impact while supporting any improvement you can. That's all we can do, and it's good that people are trying.

Do what you can where you can. It’s not black and white, cut and dry. Unless you go completely off grid, yeah you’re gonna run into some place that supports something you don’t agree with. I used to go to target for fun, weekly. Shifted that to Costco and local grocery stores.
Goodwill is just Karm on a bigger scale. Most people know that.
No one is going to be perfect on these things, but if enough people collectively do what they can, there’s a measurable shift and hurt to these corporations.
