A spreadsheet circulating on social media encourages people to boycott a list of Pittsburgh businesses with ownership, which may support President-elect Donald Trump.
The list was created by Liana Maneese who said she was inspired after seeing a list of national businesses to boycott.
"It's not just Trump supporters. It's rather what they stand for. Deeply seated fear that fuels the oppression and hatred of any group different than themselves," said Maneese.

Here is a link to the list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18l15EhYeUup30BSMrVRtFzY5eXFbjrhOC2OUyf81wmI/htmlview#gid=0
My favorite quote from the list page: "REMEMBER WHITE FOLKS DONT DETERMINE WHATS RACIST LIKE MEN DONT DETERMINE WHATS SEXIST LIKE CIS FOLKS DONT DETERMIN WHATS TRANSPHOBIC AND SO ON . . . CHECK YOUR SELF. We know you can recognize oppression its just about not erasing direct experiences. Oppression looks like being spoken for <3 If you want to post annonomously please send me the info and I will do it. However, its scary but consider moving through the fear of others intimidation. If anyone has been intimidated please email me and the person will be removed from the document ASAP"
I can't roll my eyeballs hard enough
At least it makes it clear where hard working Americans need to spend their hard earned dollars!
Drive the Communists OUT.
Blacklisting goes both ways.
The globalist socialists are the ones doing all the intimidating, harassing, and whining. Let them do their boycotting. They are estimated to only be about 20% of the population and the minority by far. The businesses still have the other 80 % to support them. They always say they are going to do this or that and fail to follow through anyway.
I been saying we need to have “two economies” for many years. Sort of a “two state solution” for the US. They can have Red again. They are commies, we are over the charade. We get Blue money for Blue Businesses and pay Blue taxes. They can have Red Money for Red business and pay Red Taxes. In ten years they will be begging to end it.
Somebody is engaged in oppression and hatred, and it is not the owners of the businesses involved. This is getting very close to a free-speech issue.
Flagrant misuse of the “free-speech” doctrine in the 1970’s was widely responsible for its degeneration into the “filthy speech” movement, and what at the time was a widespread rebellion by youth, resulting in assaults against property, courteous behavior, and even common decency. Individuals were making public displays of things that in another time in history would have gotten them incarcerated or even exiled.
Perfect! The next time a fower or cake shop gets targeted by faggots, just remind them that they are Trump supporters and their shop is off limits because of their stupid boycot. The tell the to GTFO
I agree. There’s a difference between boycott a company like Target that takes a very open stand in the bathroom issue versus trolling the FEC website and targeting private citizens for their campaign contributions.
Whatever.
libs can’t deny themselves.
The Chick Fill A in NYC has lines going for blocks.
Even AFTER deblasio called for a boycott :)
Conservatives take a much stronger stand.
HAVE not and will NEVER buy from target or budwesier again.
Also, their list is so long people will have to make arts and crafts for Christmas gifts.
I live in Mt. Washington. I had a Trump/Pence sign in my yard.
I got a "Make America Great Again" white hat, which I wear everywhere.
And I even made a contribution, $95.
You'd think either my name or my small company would be "on the list."
But no-o-o-o, these jagoffs couldn't even find me. Typical, incompetent liberals.
My guess is that business will boom for these companies thanks to this list.
We trust that Maneese is prepared in a court of law to provide substantiating evidence to support her outrageous claims?
Not everyone living in the Pittsburgh area is as intolerant and bigoted as she appears to be.
Don't know about the city itself but the surrounding area is strongly pro Trump so this is free advertizing for them.
Look at the list and spend with a business that supports your values.
Does the authoress realize that Trump won PA?
Don’t forget to boycott the NFL. It is dead to me now.
Th whole idea of leftists (Roger Goodell) controlling a MANS sport is laughable.
It sounds like classic projection to me. Haven't the liberals been targeting and intimidating people who won't think like them throughout this election cycle? Aren't they, even now working to harass and threaten with violence the electors who will cast the actual votes for Trump?
And what is the purpose of her list? Is it not to encourage "fellow travelers" to commit acts of vandalism and violence on people who support Trump?
Did you email her and ask to be added to her list? Explain that you need the business.
now we are going to troll private citizens and harass them based on campaign contributions...”
Fear and intimidation are tactic one in the Communist handbook. This is the basis for PC as well.
Talk about projecting yourself onto others. Go to DU and see the above in action.
Most if not all of the boycotters are either unemployed or in low-paid jobs.
They lack vehicles, houses/property, families, and make few if any large purchases. They also have crippling student debt.
Businesses have little to fear
you are right. I hope she is sued, and blued and tattooed for being what she appears to be.
I made a copy of the list and will buy only at those shops contributing to Trump. I live between 50 and 90 miles from Pittsburgh, go seldomly, but will do what I can to support the proTrump businesses.
Also if this information is on the FEC site I’m thinking they need a heads up. I will send buckets of tomatoes for any in the future campaign contributions...or cash in person.
