    As much as you think that matters to everyone else as much as it matters to you, you are wrong.

    You aren’t wrong about what their owners do and what supporting them funds. But 99/100 people going to Chick Fil A just want a damn chicken sandwich. They don’t think about the owners or politics. They think about going somewhere that is fast, easy, and relatively tasty (compared to other fast food places).

    Blind loyalty only accounts for a very minor percent of their business.

      99/100 people going to the lunch counter just want a sandwich. They don’t care about the politics or who isn’t allowed to sit at the counter

      Racist fuckheads only account for a very minor percent of their business.

        I’m not sure what point you think you are making here. I already agreed that their owners are bad. I already agreed that people who eat there don’t care about the other people who are hurt by the owners’ policies/practices. And racist fuckheads account for a minor percent of literally every business that has ever sold a product.

        Also, I would be careful equating the owners of a large corporation donating money to anti-LGBTQ+ organizations with Jim Crow laws. There’s just a slight difference in level of impact, and it might be offensive to a large number of people.
