Dude, liberals in America just keep getting angrier and more unhinged.
Look at this Facebook post from a Milwaukee spice company:
So it looks like Bill Penzey of Penzeys Spices has gone off the deep end.
This is a man who became popular with the left when he called Donald Trump a racist after the 2016 election (the one Hillary Clinton lost, but then claimed it wasn't actually fair and that the Russians did something to rig it).
This loon is holding a "Republicans Are Racist" weekend sale.
At a spice store!
And apparently he's doing it especially for Dr. King Memorial Weekend.
I'm sure Dr. King would be proud!
You know what really stinks, though?
Penzeys is only open for pickup orders, because they follow the Covid orthodoxy to a T (praise Fauci), so I can't casually stroll into their store wearing my "Let's Go Brandon" t-shirt and have a jolly time talking to their probably wonderful employees.
It's a real shame.
That would've been fun.
Anyhow, there are many comments below Bill's "Republicans Are Racist" Facebook post from people—Republican, Democrat, and independent—saying they'll never shop at Penzeys again. And sure, we expected that. But let me read you some of the more progressive responses I've come across.
One user writes, "Placing an order right now. I love your passion and commitment to the important issues facing our country. You are on the correct side of history. THANK YOU for standing up for what you believe; and for making such AMAZING spices!"
They do have really good spices; I will say that.
Another comment reads, "If you are 'offended' by this, no matter your political leaning, you are part of the problem. Period. Nothing will get better if we allow racists and xenophobes to have a seat at the table. If you vote for a racist or white [supremacist], you are giving them your seal of approval, making you a racist too."
Another, "Not sure what I love 💓 more—your spices or your politics!"
So these people are eating this up!
Dare I say mass formation psychosis??
Nah, better not...
Oh, and look what I found in Penzeys gift shop:
SO MUCH KINDNESS!!!
Okay, that's enough for me. These people are deranged. I will, however, leave you the original email Penzeys sent out to their customers promoting the "Republicans Are Racist" weekend sale. Sorry, it's pretty long.
Remember when Black Lives Matter started to have some success getting all of America to see how unfairly Black Americans are treated in this country and the importance of us all saying Black Lives Matter until Black lives start to be treated as though they do matter? Remember how Republicans, seeing the success BLM was having in moving America towards greater equality for Black people, in many ways the first real success since the time of Dr. King, remember how Republicans did all they could to derail that success by trying to drown out BLM's message with shouts of all lives matter, and blue lives matter, and lying about the leaders of BLM being Marxists and Communists?
Remember after George Floyd's murder the anger and righteous outrage that swept across America? Remember how Black Lives Matter stepped in and redirected that anger into peaceful protests that millions of Americans from across all walks of life participated in, amassing a hundred million human-hours of peaceful protest? Remember how Republicans, going against a mountain of evidence to the contrary, once again lied and said BLM wasn't a peaceful movement but instead terrorists inciting violence throughout the country and then raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person? What a bunch of racists.
So many great things about our spices and seasonings. One of those great things is that pretty much every one of them, by virtue of where they are grown, who they are picked by, or by the cultures of the foods they ultimately go on to season, cheeses off racists. And where normally cheesing off racists is something we throw in for free with the purchase of any of our spices, in honor of the life of Dr. King, this extended weekend we are throwing in an extra cheesing off of an up-to-$12.95 value 1/2-cup jar free with any $10 purchase.
This Dr. King Memorial Weekend we are also giving away 10 little but powerful BLM stickers with any purchase. And two of our very best blends, our regularly $3.95 Galena Street and $5.29 Mural of Flavor, are only $2 each with the entirety of those $2 being split between the national Black Lives Matter organization and Milwaukee's own BLOC that's doing an outstanding job pushing back against the decades of racism this community has faced. Thanks for helping support good people.
No coupons or codes are needed for any of these offers. Each is automatic for everyone. On penzeys.com, whether you are looking to get your order shipped or looking to do touchless pickup in one of our stores, once you have an additional $10 in spending your most expensive of all your half-cup jars up to $12.95 in value will automatically be free. It's easy!
And I get it. If you are a Republican voter you are now cheesed off. You were promised that there would never be any accountability for your support of the party of open "textbook" racism. Sorry, but for the betterment of all Americans, you included, we've decided to end that rule. And I really don't care what your race is or how many of your friends "happen to be" whatever. None of that excuses you.
If you're a part of a party that does everything it can to make it harder for Black people to vote, gerrymanders the value of minority votes down into a small fraction of the value of white votes in state houses and in the US House of Representatives, and are willing to vote for candidates of the party that nominated a man for president who explained why he was launching his campaign by saying: "Mexicans are rapists and murderers," the Racist label is one you will deservingly wear every day you stand with them. Get used to it, or maybe instead, become a better person. The choice is yours. We will be here rooting for you to Choose Love.
Thanks for caring, thanks for cooking, thanks for spreading the word,
Bill
OOOOFF!
