Conservatives are fucking dumb

EDIT: this stinks of Fox News outrage. Goes to show how their viewer are so easily led.

I have moments where I think I’m surprised that something stupid matters to people, then I remember how stupid some people are. Thank goodness conservatives are such active participants in the things that matter most

I didn't give a shit when they changed it, and I still don't.

Its not even political at all. It was just dumb corporate blandness that defeats the purpose of the restsurant's image. Conservatives made it political because their CEO happens to be a woman.

I guess it’s easy to win a culture war where you’re the only belligerent

MAGAts can be mighty proud they "goterdun".

Here's the best take on this

[semi_hemi_demigod@lemmy.world]

Step 1: Get a terrible rebranding done

Step 2: Wag the dog with fake/paid outrage

Step 3: Reverse the decision letting people think they’ve won

Step 4: Profit

It’s New Coke all over again.

Bland logo? Not okay. Bland food? Totally fine.

McDonald’s and taco bells used to look so cool, now everything is corporate and bland and sterile. Chain Restaurants all look the same now

Conservatives are calling this a win? Really???

Cracker Barrel: Changes logo.

Me: Didn't even know this happened months ago. Thats how little I care.

Conservatives: WE WILL FIGHT FOR A FICTIONAL OLD WHITE MAN'S RIGHT TO EXIST IN A LOGO!!!!

Me: Still doesn't give a shit.

Cracker Barrel: Changes logo back.

Me: Still doesn't give a shit.

Conservatives: WE WON!!!!

Me: STILL doesn't give a shit. You're the winner of a game that no one wants to play.

After a bunch of free advertising, what a shocker!

[popekingjoe@lemmy.world]

I wish these people cared as much about the president being a pedophile as they do about this mid-ass restaurant changing its logo.

[lembot_0004@discuss.online]

They are the winners of a game YOU don't want to play. And they don't give a shit about you.

You went from "I don't" to "no one wants" in a most logically crazy way.

how stupid

There's that, and there is also a massive ecosystem of griftfluencers endlessly manufacturing outrage and pumping it straight into millions of anger addicts, every hour of every day, from Fox News at the top, all the way down to Uncle Jeff on Facebook. The need to get high short-circuits intelligence every time.

Now this place sucks even more than it did before! God damn this whole thing is stupid.

When you own all three branches of the government, have deported thousands of innocent, disenfranchised people, and you've got civil liberties and democracy on the ropes, but your whole shtick is grievance and vengeance, you get nonsense like this. They need more to things to get mad at to feed the monkey on their back.

Are there people who would be likely to go to Cracker Barrel out there who didn't know about Cracker Barrel already?
