Social media posts about PublicSquare have gone viral as Trump critics use it to find companies not to support – the opposite of what the site was set up for.
I wanted a similar site but to track houses with Trump signs up. Have to upload pictures for the record, and cross referenced with MLS listings/sales so everything is expunged on property transfer.
No particular reason to keep this info around. Just a curiosity.
Building the sort of database you suggest is a very double edge sword though. Use of personal data to persecute people is a tool of fascist. Persuading people as it is currently used by candidates and their proxies is arguably part of democratic (the arguably part is that humans don’t make rational decisions due to cognitive biases, so it is not a fair choice if presented with manipulated information), but it is a way to distribute directed information in this modern age.
We need community and more engagement, not less and isolation. I empathize with the outrage response, but suggest it’s worth being careful in actions that take the form of the enemy.
Hey bozo, not wanting to normalize creating lists of people based on politics is not “feeling sowwy for Nazis”. Pay the fuck attention, this type of thing in this type of climate doesn’t end well.
Businesses aren’t people and we’re allowed to vote with our wallets if nothing else. Plus, the red hats made the site, dummy. We’re just using the list they gave us.

That would drive them absolutely batshit insane
In my head I called it The Scarlet Letter and the logo was a giant red burning T.
Not that I have put thought into it or anything 😅
Burning T…
Time… Time to go…

We aren’t talking about businesses. Please read the discussion taking place before commenting in the future, thanks bud
Thank you for asking nicely, bud. But eh.
When their politics include coming for people like me? Yeah, it’s well past time for lists.
There should be no tolerance for intolerance.
You’re right. We shouldn’t be creating lists.
Since they’re Nazis, the only thing we should be doing is killing them. Them, and anyone who collaborates or protects them.
My dude, they are black bagging people off the street and now our AG says ICE can walk into your home without a warrant.
If anything I am behind the curve.
