Why don't Republicans kick people out of restaurants?

One often hears Democrat politicians decrying the lack of common civility abroad in the land these days. In so doing, they generally blame Normal Americans—largely but not exclusively Republicans—for that failing. But how often do we see the Normal American owners or managers of restaurants or other public accommodations, kick Democrat politicians or functionaries out of their establishments because their presence “makes them feel unsafe” or might be “perceived as a lack of support for the community that makes up the majority of our team.”

I can’t recall any instance of that happening, ever. That’s not surprising. Normal Americans aren’t frightened by the political views and goals of others, nor do they much worry about what others think of them. They tend to be live and let live types who have lives to live, bills to pay and families to support. They understand the circumstances that might constitute being “unsafe,” and they don’t include people with differing political views, real or imagined, sharing a restaurant with them.

Normal Americans obviously don’t share the views of The Croissanterie restaurant in Little Rock, Arkansas:

Leftists are often very miserable people.

Because conservative leaning people are civilized and not control freaks.

There’s a democrat/leftist who was elected to a town position, and during our town meeting least week, he looked like he’d been sucking on a lemon the whole time.

I asked mr. mm if democrats ever smile.

We used to have a term for something found on the floor of poultry cages. Of course, they waited until she had paid the bill and left a tip.

Next time “I’m sorry if your employees are upset so ask them to wait outside until I finish. Then they can come back in.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I don’t think about politics or other people’s politics every minute of the day.

**they waited until she had paid the bill and left a tip.**

Didn’t know that. had they not served her I would think she could sue. Not that she’d do that but I wouldn’t eat out knowing what’s out there.

Can I use that “unsafe” reason to get blacks kicked out of a restaurant? I’ve seen Karens do that with service dogs. It’s an easy go-to for the low-IQ commies to exert power.

Democrats used to kick blacks out of lunch counters. Then the courts said it was not OK. Here we are decades later, and Democrats are still kicking people out of restaurants. They do it a little differently (not targeting black people) but it’s still a favorite hobby of the Left.

While the Left is hate, and Sarah was asked to leave (and was followed around) by a loony restaurant in Virginia during the 1st Trump administration, apparently she was not kicked out of this recent one.

Why don’t Republicans kick people out of restaurants?

Republicans like to work and make money.

The left hates everything and if their business fails they expect the government to bail them out.

Dominion voting fraud votes do not eat at restaurants, they just defraud us of elections .
I wish that I could confront one but hell it appears that they do not exist and are court talk proof.
But not to despair the hatred for what they do sustains us.

Chick Fil-a has gone woke. I last ate there in 2018.

I don’t know about republicans. Conservatives don’t force people because conservatism is not an ideology. Leftism is an ideology. They have a need to change others to their way of thinking. They cannot tolerate being around people who don’t approve of them and their leftist ideas

Conservatives don’t care what others believe, as long as it doesn’t destroy. They won’t kick leftists out of a restaurant but they’ll stop nation-destroying leftists from destroying the country. By ballot.

Which is why the ballot is being fixed. Thune and republicans are fighting against that but they’ll lose.

Why can’t we go back to 80’s where everybody loved one another?
