Why can’t this company just sell coffee and stay out of the political arena.
That you, Jeb?

The recent (last couple of years) spate of leftist attacks on Trump administration officials, Republican politicians, and even simple Trump supporters has been troubling to observe. Sadly, while we hoped the anger would subside as we moved further away from the election, the reality is that the exact opposite has occurred. Today, conservatives are more endangered than ever before as many on the left have embraced an political strategy of all-out war on anything from the right.
The latest example of this sad state of affairs comes to us from a wonderful coffee company in Georgia.
Thrasher Coffee produces some of the finest coffee products in the nation and they’ve recently embraced their conservative roots. The decision to honestly market their products and to choose to support President Trump, has caused some backlash on social media.
Leftist trolls have descended on to Thrasher’s pages and written lies about a product that they’ve never even tried.
Here’s the story from Thrasher Coffee’s Facebook Page:
Dear Coffee Lovers,
I hope you had a Happy 4th! We sure did, and WOW! so many new fans. Thank you so much! Thrasher Coffee has existed for almost 5 years now. As any small business it has been an uphill, in the mud battle. Recently, we embraced our conservative background and the groundswell has been incredible. The silent majority stand with Trump and we are breaking sales record after sales record. So much winning! However, there has definitely been lots of backlash and sadly we had to disable the reviews on our Facebook due to very negative reviews from people who have never even tried our coffee before. We were at a solid 4.9 with so many wonderful people leaving kind comments, and as soon as we started putting Trump on the bag the negative reviews, comments and messages poured in. They were nasty to say the least!
On the flip side, I’ve also had some very nice conversations with customers who loved the beans, but couldn’t back our support of Trump. As Americans we can disagree, be passionate about our beliefs, but still treat each other with respect. So to the new fans, welcome! Thank you, thank you! To the old fans, thanks for sticking with us all these years! Together we will make America great again, one cup of coffee at a time.
We hate to see this happen to anyone based on their political beliefs, particularly when their products are so darn delicious!
But there is a way that you can help the folks at Thrasher, you can surf over to their site and try some of their fantastic products like their “#45 Blend,” or their “Best Part of Waking Up Coffee”.
My personal favorite from their line of great coffee is the Liberty Blend, but you can see more of what they have to offer (including apparel) at their website.

Please consider supporting a conservative business as it faces down attacks from the leftist Anti-Trump mob.
If they wont do it then it is time for political retaliation equal to or greater than the out of control left. We have given them enough rope.
Stop the problem at it’s source. The publicists, no CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSMBC, NYT, WAPO, LAT, HOLLYWOOD MOVIES, ET. AL.. Bullying and boycotting is a 2 way street. What aggravates me most is that the right just stands there and turns the other cheek. That’s very Jesus of you, but I prefer Odin when it applies to turning cheeks as often as the right does. Rinos are losers, they are virtual punching bags for the left. It seems the left has taken over a German saying; “”Und willst Du nicht mein Bruder sein, so schlag’ ich Dir den Schädel ein.” It dates back before
that guy, with the Charlie Chaplin look? (But he used it while campaigning.) Beware, IMO, the left’s goal is to disrupt the economy by any means, that’s America’s weakest link.
“If they wont do it then it is time for political retaliation equal to or greater than the out of control left.”
If the Congress does not pass your bill, it means that our value system of patriotism and freedom enterprise freedom for conservatives, is opposed by the current congress.
Boomerang effect of consistent projection by the neo-communists.
Never heard of this company HOWEVER going to jump over to their website RIGHT NOW and spend some of my hard earned money!!! Be VERY CAREFUL what you wish for you liberal BASTARDS after all WE are the ones with the money in America WE are the workers, and business owners in this wonderful American Republic!!!! Be back going to spend some money I LOVE coffee!!!!!
I just bought - THE BEST PART OF WAKING UP IS DONALD TRUMP IS PRESIDENT T-SHIRT (MADE IN THE USA)
RE Chick-fil-A... Just found out, it’s Cow Day. Wear a cow t-shirt, outfit or mask...get a free entree.
“The silent majority stand with Trump and we are breaking sales record after sales record.”
I doubt that’s gonna change. The people that care (and spend money) will make sure that doesn’t change.
“Why can’t this company just sell coffee and stay out of the political arena.”
That free speech thingee maybe?
> “We need a civil rights law amendment to prohibit discrimination against one’s political beliefs...”
I’d rather it say we can discriminate against anyone we want for whatever reason we want. I personally don’t want to hire anyone whose middle toe sticks out longer than their the other 4 - it creeps me out and they may wear sandals to work at some point (I’m not totally serious, but it should be a legal discriminator if I care).
If someone doesn’t want to serve or hire me because I support Trump, then they should be able to do that. I’d appreciate a sign or RFP statement so I don’t even enter the business or send a proposal.
Got to try them...Black Rifle is another great coffee place too...
You beat me to it. I don't think they have much of a problem with that.
We agree.
I envision a Chik-Fil-A moment for Thrasher.
Great ad....
