Okay, so I put together a list of companies that donated big, bigly to Donald Trump, as well as to super PACs that were behind Project 2025, and as well as the worst Republicans out there, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, a list of these donors. And they're not companies that donated. Some to Republicans and some to Democrats. No, they overwhelmingly funded moving Donald Trump and Project 2025 into the White House.
So I want everybody to keep that in mind. And before any MAGA get into my comments section, I want you guys all to remember, it was one person who researched all the large companies that had DEI programs or anything that resembled anything woke, like donating $500 to a local pride organization. That one person identified all these companies. And then the right-wing podcasters and content creators pushed it all.
And they were successful in getting all these DEI programs wiped out. Or the one white, wealthy Christian nationalist woman who single-handedly, through Ziklag, researched and identified 35,000 Democratic voters and challenged all of their voting records to get them purged from voter rolls. One person. So stay out of my comments section about what we're going to do to stand up for our values.
Okay, now, this is going to be an overwhelming list. You're going to feel overwhelmed. I promise you, I'm going to give you the list of all the companies and products that supported Democrats or supported both parties equally or didn't donate politically at all.
And that's a huge list. But right now, we're going to go through this list. Ready?
AutoZone, Ace Hardware, Allegiant Air, Arby's, Armor All cleaning products, you know for the car, Ashley Furniture, Bali, bras and underwear for women, Bosh and Lom, Big Heart Pet Brands, Bike Athletics, that's men's underwear, Any Beer by Molson, Any Beer by Coors, Brooks Running Shoes, bummer, Buffalo Bills, I'm including the sports teams here for donating bigly to Project 2025 and Trump because most Sports teams didn't donate at all, but I'm mentioning the ones that voted for Trump and Project 2025. Buffalo Wild Wings, Buick Cadillac, Carl's Jr., Champ Clothing, anything by Hanes really, Chevrolet, Cincinnati Financial, Cinnabon, Conair Hair Products, which are all your hair products at like Meyers in your pharmacy, Cousinart Kitchen Products, Dairy Queen, Dirt Devil, Discount Tire. Dole Foods, that's a lot of frozen fruits and canned fruits. Dudley Sports, Exxon, Farberware, that's the kitchen and dining room products, florists.com, Folgers, Fruit of the Loom, fruitbrocades.com, Fry's Electronics, Geico Insurance, George Foreman Grill, GMC, Hanes, all the Hanes subsidiaries, Hardee's, Helzberg Diamonds. Hendrick Motorsports Hobby Lobby. This one hurts.
Home Goods because they're owned by TJ Maxx. Hoover Vacuum Cleaners, Horizon Bank, Keller Williams Realty if you're going to buy or sell home keep that in mind. Legs which are the socks and nylons and stuff like that. Las Vegas Sands so stay out of their hotels if you're going to Vegas.
L.L. Bean Made in Form. That's bras and underwear for women. This one hurts. Marshalls.
They're owned by TJ Maxx. Martin's Famous Pastry Shops, McDonald's, Any Beer by Miller's, Any Beer by Milwaukee's Best, Mobile, Molson's, of course My Pillow, Napa Auto Parts, the New Orleans Saints, the New York Yankees, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Old Dutch Foods, Oreck Vacuums. Purdue Farms. That's a shit ton of meat in the grocery store that we buy.
Playtex. Bras and hygiene products and baby products. Public storage.
Rayovac. Schlotzky's restaurant franchise. Shell Oil. Sierra Trading Post.
Slumberland. You know, mattresses and furniture. Soma Intimates for women. Spalding.
Stanley Black & Decker hardware. Star Furniture. Stiletto power and hand tools.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. the Popcorn Factory, Toastmaster Appliances, Tractor Supply, Wendy's, Wynn Resorts in Las Vegas, 1-800-Flowers.com, all of the Smucker's products, you know, Crustables, Jif, Peanut Butter, Jelly, Dunkin'Donuts, Meow Mix, Milk Bones, Pepperonis, that's all from them. Public Supermarket, Act, Fluoride, Mouthwash. All the Procter & Gamble products they donated bigly to Project 2025. Baskin-Robbins, Charmin, Omni Hotels, Wow Cable, the Arizona Diamondbacks, they even donated to Lauren Boebert.
What the hell? Chiquita Brands, Jimmy Dean, their sausage, Lando Lakes, Boost Mobile, Vanity Fair, they're the paper cups and paper plates, GNC, Grey Goose, the Los Angeles Angels, Sunoco, Tito's Vodka, Turtle Wax, Wonder Bread. This one's sad.
You've got Urban Outfitters. and you've got free people. They own free people and free people donated to Trump and Project 2025. Enterprise rental car.
So Motorola, Papa John's, Walmart, Yum Brands, Garmin for GPS and other sports products, Alamo rental cars, Hershey products. This is a good time to go on that diet and avoid all Hershey chocolates. Anthropologie, Bacardi, Blue Bell Creameries, Chobani yogurts, Dean Foods.
They sell a lot of meat. Now listen, this seems overwhelming. I promise you I'm going to give you a list of everywhere that donated to Democrats, didn't donate at all, or donated an equal amount to both parties, okay? But it's like the best sports coaches and athletes have said.
If you're speeding through the woods on skis or on a bike, for competition or the thrill, you do not look at the trees and the boulders and the ledges that you want to avoid. You look at the path right in front of you. That's what you keep your eyes on.
And this will be easy, easier if you sit down and write down all the products and vendors and stores and restaurants that you do want to donate or visit and purchase from. I'm sorry, I'm getting a little... I'm trying to get this under 10 minutes.
So it's easier to come up with that list of what you do want to purchase, where you do want to shop, than it is to try to avoid all of these. This is not an all-inclusive list. And I would definitely start with the GoodsUnitus app, which is where I got a lot of this. And then the OpenSecrets Donor Lookup.
If you want to find local stores and restaurants, you just got to find the name of the owner and plop it in Open Secrets Donor Lookup and you'll see if they donated overwhelmingly to Republicans or to Democrats. So my part two of all the companies that are safe to purchase from and visit will be coming soon. I just need a little time to put that list together.
