More evidence that these glib liars have no consciences.
MAGA voters are like Lenny asking to be told about the rabbits before they're shot, except the shooters aren't sparing them suffering, they're the lynch mob itself.

It is going to take so long to restore our reputation as a country that does the right thing after we've tried everything else. Right now we are one of the world's villains, alongside Russia, Hungary, China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc. We are a cautionary tale to the world.

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud.
Just unspeakable assholery.

If you love this country, if you want it to thrive, if you want it to be a positive influence on the world despite our current fallen state, you will not vote for Republicans.
Republicans bring us only shame. Conservatism is poison. People can enjoy it as they do alcohol. It feels good. It kills.

How a Minnesota-based company even came up with this is beyond me. EYE CONTACT???
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
