Rural retail chain company Tractor Supply are facing calls for a boycott for, amongst other things, donating money to diversity and inclusion causes, which included projects that support LGBTQ+ youth.
Tractor Supply is far from the only retail chain that has faced boycott calls over DEI and Pride initiatives in recent years, though a rural supply company is certainly an unusual target for the right.
In fact, just today, right-wingers decided to take aim at IKEA’s rainbow Pride charity cake. To mark Pride Month 2024, the UK branch of the Swedish furniture chain announced its popular rainbow cake is back in its restaurants and will be sold throughout June, with 100 per cent of the profits going to LGBT+ Switchboard.
Lol, those hicks aren’t actually going to stop shopping at tractor supply.
- someone from a town with those hicks.
Right? Like… I’d like to see them ACTUALLY boycott tractor supply. In a lot of places, that’s sort of the only store around.
Now we just need to get boycotts started on Walmart and Family Dollar, and the hicks will all have to switch back to subsistence farming or something.
I guess our continued plan of just waiting for all the boomers to die is still the only plan we’re going with?
Gen X and Millennial conservatives are far from nonexistent. They’re the ones leading the charge on garbage like this.
Conservatives don’t want anything to change. Time to get rid of them
The problem is that the more you fight change, the more you change things. Your movement becomes more and more focused on resisting change, and less focused on preserving any good qualities it once had. It’s an inescapable bit of futility, hard coded into the human condition.
It’s worse than that. Conservatives want everything to change. Back to the early 1800’s.
Tractor Supply understands their actual customer base: farm queers
Man, I would love it if these assholes didn’t shop there. So many times I’ve run into one when shopping there and they are spouting their bullshit while buying almost nothing. I’m like, uhhh, can you leave the cashier alone so I can spend several hundred dollars here?
I swear, somewhere along the line, we all ended up living in Pleasantville.
Cern need to figure out how to shift us back to our old timeline.

The fact that merely acknowledging that LGBTQ+ people exist and are worthy of basic human dignity and respect is considered a “political opinion” is exactly the problem.

But they’re not? Equality doesn’t mean more.
Idiots like that think that human rights are finite, and if someone else gets them, they lose then.
It’s remarkably stupid.
I still wish I could hear their line of thinking from them though. What are they possibly seeing.
please take your reactionary bs elsewhere
Different than others, how?
If “treated with basic human dignity and respect” is “treated differently from everyone else” in your eyes, that sounds like a you problem.

Perhaps we do. How sad.
The fuck are you smoking?
I’m going to go buy something at Tractor Supply for the first time in years because of this
