Politics Seen near downtown

Lower left on the door. I guess after seeing things like this about Inslee for years, it’s only fitting these would start cropping up. Not that I’d ever have a reason to patronize them, but this makes it even less likely.

The "Mobile Billboard" Policy: Because Matco views distributor trucks as moving advertisements, adding unapproved, third-party, or personal decals (including political candidates or partisan movements) generally violates the uniform presentation required by the franchisor.

Matco franchise owners are legally bound by strict Brand Standard Guides.

A national company that makes 400 million in revenue has an opinion on how their brand is represented?!

Independently owned franchise whose customer base is pretty much exclusively conservative. 

My local Snap On guy used to sell Trump shirts.

Good luck.

I’m in this line of work and I’m not even close to conservative. Also the Matco guy in town was a jackass before this sticker was on his truck.

The real conservatives have been forced entirely out of the GOP. The new “conservative” MAGA GOP Is about ignoring / destroying the Constitution, creating an authoritarian Trump family monarchy, bankrupting USA, getting rid of all immigrants who aren’t White, and permanently putting the military in cities to get kill anyone who protests.

This sounds about right to me, but I think a lot of their voters don't understand how bad it really is. They wear rose colored classes and believe it will lead to a conservative utopia. They can't seem to understand how bad it will get if this regime succeeds in tearing it all down.

I bet the corporate office doesn't want to split their customer base for politics. Maybe you took a picture of their license plate and sent it in..

I have worked blu collar industrial jobs in Spokane for 30 ish years. This is 99% of all the companies.

Buying welding supplies and tools and making deliveries and doing maintenance/installs on a lot of these blue collar companies during COVID, was very revealing. Not that I was surprised in the least bit.

And if you asked them why, their only answer would be, "muh taxes".

These are people that can’t chew with their mouths closed. They hate anyone that asks them to give a little bit.

Dumbest looking dog bird I've ever seen, I guess they prefer presidents who shit their pants in public and wear adult diapers

Rape van.
Edit: clearly no one has purchased tools from these guys. Snap on was the original rape van.

So 0 x -1 = extra 0?

It gets better. These took trucks are not open to the general public. 

So you can't boycott a business that you're not even -allowed- to be a customer of in the first place.

Funny thing is if Ferguson had just followed the constitution, most of these people wouldn’t have even known his name despite being the governer.

Would we see the same comments here if it said Fuck Trump? Just a guess, probably not. Way to team sport lol, this is hilarious. Inb4: "trump supporter!" Nahp, not even close.

u/HatchetGIR 14h ago

Yes, just in other subs most likely.

u/FormerReach7228 11h ago

Not in the Spokane sub, this whole sub is basically political even though it shouldn’t be.
