Website For MAGA-Friendly Businesses Backfires As People Use It For Boycotts
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.

Anybody got an actual list? I can't be asses to scroll through product listings and that site is terribly designed.
There's a map by zip code, seems like it's an per business opt in setup.
I'm surprised by how many of the local shitholes figured out the internet in my town. Lot of construction, photography, and those shitty businesses that sell scam ass herbal supplements.
Where is this map? I'm not finding anything like that on the site.
Edit. Found it. It's really buried.
I have flirted with the idea of pulling a list all registered business in my area and cross checking political donations from them/their owners.
It's a lot of data to crunch though
Get the raw data if you can, then use AI to make a clean list. It's not good at much, but it's good at that...
You don't even need AI for that. Just a bit of Python.
Not only that; but if you throw AI on that data, you're going to get fake results mixed in.
Hell, you could do this with GNU coreutils
You could do it with two text files and an awk one-liner.
People using AI for shit where a much better tool already exists are going to be the death of our society.
then use AI
Fuck no.
One of the worst apications for generative "AI" is math, as it happens. You'd have to check that all the work is even in the right ballpark, so you might as well just do it yourself.
Yeah I was hoping for a list of bigger companies. I've never heard of any of them from my quick perusal of their shitty site, so in all reality it doesn't affect me at all, really.
Though I do love that some fucking moron is going to shell out $1100 for a laughable "bulletproof T-shirt". I honestly can't tell if they're a real maga company or some Democrat laughing their fucking ass off. You can get actual vests, with plates for less than that!
I remember this wrestling faction called the bullet club was wondering why their merch was selling out beyond their fan base. Turns out it was gun nuts who just liked the name and logo, made money off them at least
It’s a lot of local businesses. So your best bet is to hit the near me option in the lower tool bar.
You can look at the categories in the near me section, as that will list businesses of that type within a certain radius(you can set any location). But I've not been able to find any complete list so far.
Although I think the businesses can choose their own categories. And some of them have to be trolling, or really dumb. I checked near one city and found a guy who's descriptions says that his services are available "at no charge to you". And he seemingly listed his personal phone number(it isn't registered to a business in that state, but to his full name(which is different than the one on the website) in a different state).
This website is going down as soon as the teenager who manages it wakes up.
It's been going for a while now; I'm honestly surprised it's still up.
