PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Local social media is abuzz over efforts in Pittsburgh to identify and boycott businesses owned by supporters of President Donald Trump.

“I think it’s important because people have a right to know where their money is going,” Pittsburgh blogger Brian Broome told KDKA political editor Jon Delano on Tuesday.

In a recent Facebook post, a page identified only as “Ban Kenny Chesney from Pittsburgh” says there’s a list of almost 100 local businesses owned by Trump supporters which will soon be disclosed on a new website.

In counter this effort, the organizers of this effort should be also identified and then given the same treatment. This is getting out of hand but two can play the game as well.

Great, they should also reveal the name and work places of democrat activists too, after all those business owners have a right to know where their money is going as well.

Maybe if a few of these little monsters lost their jobs they would stop trying to ruin the lives of others.

I own a business in Roswell Ga., we specifically do not inject politics into our business .... we welcome all.... business is not a political forum.... we are there to provide our community a product to enjoy...
Unfortunately, the left is a vindictive group very open to blacklists....

Exactly. The left is out to destroy anyone with whom they disagree. Look at Chick fil A; they seem to be doing just fine.

The leftist “Democratic” Party wants a shooting war. Politics is a war for spoils that used to be confined to the parasitic political class but the “cancel culture” has brought that fight down to main street. Say the wrong thing - lose your job, donate to the wrong politician and lose your business. Communists are pushing the average American’s back to the wall and yet they will be surprised when Americans start to punch back and UP.

You echoed my sentiments exactly. Give the Left Commies a dose; an eye for an eye.

If this guy in Pittsburgh or any other leftist needs some guidance on how to run an effective boycott, he or she (or whatever the preferred pronoun may be) might want to check the history books on how the Nazis did it to the Jews. Hard to see any difference between boycotting Trump supporters and boycotting a religious group. But then, the left is so into virtue signaling that it rarely stops to think about what it is doing.

That worked out really well for the BBQ restaurants in San Antonio who wound up on a “boycott list” and then reported “record setting” sales. Bring it.

More proof the lefties yearn for the soviet style communism....no choices...which would happen if they were in charge because today you would be hard pressed to find a business owned by a leftie. They’re just not smart enough nor do they have the work ethic, that’s why they have gov. jobs......can’t get fired for being stupid or lazy.

Don't be so sure. I drove by my local Chic-fil-a this past Sunday and the parking lot was empty. Like zero cars. Maybe the boycott is working.

That was my first thought, too. Let’s start with blacklisting registered Democrat public school teachers. Those jobs are highly coveted in my neck of the suburban woods. Democrats need not apply has a nice ring to it.

Anyone, including naive Democrats, that don’t believe these people would institute a violent pogrom on conservatives, non woke whites, etc is stupid.

These people go to sleep at night not counting sheep, but rather box cars loaded with conservatives.

I think teachers should be required to pass a test on the Constitution each and every year. I also think teachers unions should be outlawed as long as they receive taxpayer dollars.
