A business owner in Albuquerque has announced that, due to his opposition to “fascism,” he will henceforth refuse to do business with Republicans and President-elect Donald Trump supporters.

According to KOB 4 News, Matthew Blanchfield runs the online marketing company 1st in SEO, and he’s so upset about the presidential election he’s willing to shed customers to show his disgust.

“America has elected Donald Trump, a racist, sexist, fascist, to be our next president,” Blanchfield says in a blog post two days after the election. “If you are a Republican, voted for Donald Trump or support Donald Trump, in any manner, you are not welcome at 1st in SEO and we ask you to leave our firm … 1st in SEO will do everything in our power to ensure that we break ties with any person or business that supports fascism.”

How do special snowflakes like him get to be CEOs? Daddy’s company?

Great

Business owners SHOULD be able to deny services to anyone they choose.

It’s the left who does not like this ... but only if they or their ‘identity’ groups are the ones being denied.

There are two fascist symbols on statue of Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial. Was Lincoln then a fascist?

Most people would not know a fasces if you broke a tied bundle of sticks over their head.

Will he next state that he won’t put out fires at republicans houses?

>>I love this Capitalistic society! He can sell or not sell to anyone he pleases.

>>And anyone can buy or not buy from him for any reason they choose.

>>His business will live or die on his decisions. As it should be.

Dear Mr Van Winkle,

America has changed quite a bit in the 20 years while you were sleeping. People have been sued for refusing to do business with other people. The Internet was a new thing when you started your nap but it’s really big now and has lots of information. Take some time to catch up.

Sincerely,
The 21st Century

I find that a simplistic definition. A critical defining aspect that differentiates Communism from Fascism and Capitalism is this:

• In communism the state owns and controls all the means of production (i.e. business and commerce).
• In fascism private individuals own the means of production BUT the state controls it
• In Capitalism private individuals own the means of production and control them

Communists and Fascists both end up as dictatorships so that's not the defining difference. Also the nationalistic stuff is a red herring because the Soviets were highly nationalistic (i.e patriotic) and frankly so was the USA back before liberals split it. The true difference between the three systems is who controls the economic engines.

And lefties want to allow private individuals to own businesses but have the state control them through onerous regulations. Fascism.

The guy sounds like a non-inclusive, bigoted H->8ter fachist.

Well, you could always axe them.

Perhaps Mr. Bletchfeld has a good reason for going off his meds.

He could be part of the LGBTQ gaggle.

Is he a homo? He looks like a homo.

Looks like an ankle grabber, but his facebook page looks more like Joe Stalin's than Elton John's

People should be able to do whatever business with whomever they deem appropriate, and NOT do business whit whomever they dont want to for ANY reason the choose. Trumps rabid capitalism is one of the reasons I voted for him.

I applaud this mans exercise of his freedom, regardless of how short sided it is, and point out that I also have the same freedom (although I would not make the same business decisions he has made.)

This and all the other idiots will learn their proper lesson from the soup line rather than the court room.

[miss marmelstein]

His facebook page is loaded with hate and curses. Typical lib, of course.

There are legitimate uses of SEO, like making sure the website is tagged and designed in a way that search engines identify it and place it properly in reference to your key search terms. You can use conversational search queries to rank well when someone asks about your service via Siri or an another infotainment center. You should claim your business directories and put in the right categorization and location information so you’re actually found in local search.

You know, gas prices are really going down recently, and Wal-Mart always has matches, soap bars and rags for super cheap. *cough, cough*

[publius911]

OK, I give up.
I blew a gasket on my OUIJA Board trying to find out WTF (Win The Future) SEO means...

Any help out there?

What a dufus ...

New Mexico is full of clowns like this, especially in Santa Fe (AKA San Francisco east). For example, the new leaders of the Democratic legislature are both radical enviro-leftists from Santa Fe. It's no wonder we're at the bottom of most everyone's state lists from education to poverty to unemployment. The only thing that supports state government is the oil and gas industry and when the Dims in the state house in Santa Fe were in control they tried to put that industry out of business.
