    Does anyone know of an indirect or mirrored source, just wondering if it will go down. Obviously the way back machine, but I’m not sure if it will pull the databased side of it.

      Not really, I just looked at it, They’re behind cloudflare so scraping them would be painful. Tried hitting the api and unhinging location and distance, they hard cap 250 results. Js is required to get the results. We could go zipcode by zipcode, in the browser with GPS coordinates (available for free) but there are 33k zipcodes and if anyone hits more than a few, cloudflare is going to robot check you.

    Go fash, lose cash.

    Complete tangent:

    “PublicSquare is basically the Green Book, but for conservatives,” this TikTok user, who goes by dapper.delinquent, says in his video. “The Green Book was a book passed around Black communities that was a list of stores and businesses that were safe for Black People to use. PublicSquare is the same thing for conservatives.”

    I wanted a similar site but to track houses with Trump signs up. Have to upload pictures for the record, and cross referenced with MLS listings/sales so everything is expunged on property transfer.

    No particular reason to keep this info around. Just a curiosity.

      USA voter registration including party affiliation are public record. https://protectdemocracy.org/work/why-is-voter-registration-data-public/

      Building the sort of database you suggest is a very double edge sword though. Use of personal data to persecute people is a tool of fascist. Persuading people as it is currently used by candidates and their proxies is arguably part of democratic (the arguably part is that humans don’t make rational decisions due to cognitive biases, so it is not a fair choice if presented with manipulated information), but it is a way to distribute directed information in this modern age.

      We need community and more engagement, not less and isolation. I empathize with the outrage response, but suggest it’s worth being careful in actions that take the form of the enemy.

          Hey bozo, not wanting to normalize creating lists of people based on politics is not “feeling sowwy for Nazis”. Pay the fuck attention, this type of thing in this type of climate doesn’t end well.

            You’re right. We shouldn’t be creating lists.

    Damn a restaurant I like is on this stupid site. It’s surprising because most of the stuff in my area that’s on here is like realtors, explicitly right wing businesses with patriot in the name, or like when you go in there it’s all thin blue line flags and shit. This is just a normal restaurant with normal decor. I’m not really surprised the owners are apparently Trumpy, pretty much all the business owners in my area are, I’m just surprised to see them on this site

      Make sure you tell them why you’re firing them, and post a review on their Google page. Dont mention the quality of the service, just that you dropped them for their treasonous support of MAGA Nazis.

        I’m on the fence about telling them why. I have zero faith that losing me as a customer will make them reconsider their political position even if it would make me feel better. What it may do it make them remove their add from the MAGAt site meaning we lose the warning signal to others.

        As far as leaving reviews pointing out there MAGAness, I’m in a red state and that may help them. They love their martyrs, so I’m definitely skipping that step.

            I kinda don’t care about hearts and minds. Let them know you dropped them for that reason, the scorn is enough.

            I get where you are but this is contradictory. If we don’t care about addressing mindsets of folks then making my position known is the opposite of that. They likely won’t care, and simply dismiss me as some kind of “woke lib”. So the only benefit to making my feelings know would be to make me feel better.

            They’re allowed to be maga it just can’t be without consequences

            Worse, pragmatically speaking, they might actually benefit if I did that. Yes they lose me as a customer, but that’s happening anyway. Now though, I’ve given them a story to tell. A cross to affix themselves to as they talk about their hardship of a single “woke lib” that drop them. If they even get a single person to accept their story, then they’ll have replace the revenue they would have derived from me and are made “whole”. Worse, they need only circulate the story in the areas we both live in and many of my MAGA neighbors would likely rally around them giving them even more business that before.

            In these circumstances, the consequences for MAGAism for them would be positive as they would (at least for a short time) gain additional business from MAGAness.

            This is one of those hard adult decision where the only move is to not play the game. I drop them as business I patronize and say nothing as to the reason of there MAGAness. I leave their (self inflicted) warning signs in place for others to see as I did, and without becoming a rallying cry which will benefit them.

        Their statement on being a press conference venue for the Trump administration was that their business was not supporting anyone in particular, but was thrilled to be part of the democratic process. The tone this statement was said in led me to believe that they were also thrilled to facilitate Trump’s goons making a hilarious fuck-up.

      Looks like it’s just one particular Scheels that’s on there. I’d guess the franchisee is a dickhead, not the overall corporation (any more than corporations are usually dickheads anyway).

      My local Scheels is not on there. In fact, relatively few local businesses are, which is surprising since I live in a pretty red state (though the city is pretty purple, and only getting bluer as time goes on).
