Most books are liberal.

Notice they never admitted they were wrong for asking Gianni to leave. No regret for an action they believe did them in. They never realized they were destroyed by their own intolerance and hatred. This is how insane and delusional one has to be to embrace Communism.

I hate when I go to a book store and have to spend time turning over books by liberal authors. It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it.

I suspect there were other issues that caused this.

The writer gives us a clue here -

“Truth be told, if our lives outside of paradis were easy and uncomplicated, this model would just maybe be sustainable”

That part about their lives not being, apparently, “easy and sustainable”, implies personal or business difficulties not directly related to the restaurant. Who knows what that was - a breakup or divorce, loss of a backer, a need for a day job, who knows.

Virtually everyone working in bookshops and libraries is a left winger, for various reasons. But conservatives, imho, tend to be more cerebral, and read far more and more widely than liberals who seem to all live in an echo chamber. The New York Times, to take one example, has long since become unreadable.

IMO, I’m glad they were harassed (if they actually were). It’s time we started going Alinsky the way the left does. We always play too nicely.

Yes local book sellers and librarians all have the smug self-righteous smiles of uninformed leftists as they stand among their limited slice of skewed propaganda.

“I never thought I would make international news for being a Florida man…”

But those in the know here on FR aren’t the least bit surprised.

Love to see this. I doubt they learned a lesson, but maybe someone sane will take the place over.

it turns out that going out of your way - needlessly - to alienate about half of your potential customers does not make good business sense.

Who would have guessed?

Wow, telling a black man he had to leave a restaurant. How 1950 of them.

“They were ceaselessly harrassed? Hmmm. I just would stop going there. What really happened?”

Exactly what you said. People stopped going because the restaurant violated Americans civil rights. And once that was out on social media, it was game, set and match.

What’s old is new again

In the 1950’s most Blacks were Republicans

“ The odd thing is that for generations,”

That’s a pretty broad brush you’re painting all us booksellers with. Generalization is not a sound argument.

I am and work with a top notch batch of booksellers, we carry books for everyone and every taste, we don’t hide the books by conservative authors and we try our best to give each customer the books they are looking for.

Are there poorly run bookstores and sour, lefty booksellers? Sure but not all of us are that way and it’d be nice if you’d find a way to appreciate the good ones when you find them. Thank you.

It’s because the left is not “liberal” in the true dictionary sense.

It’s very intolerant and wants to create a “new man”, which requires the death of key ideas.

Hence the censorship.

Go woke, go broke.... Textbook business mismanagement. An example that politics shouldn’t be involved with business. Michael Jordan said Republicans buys sneakers, too.
