Many fellow conservatives have been heartbroken to see Dan Cathy of Chick-fil-A destroy his father’s legacy by succumbing to the woke mob. Obviously, the company’s corporate actions have bumped the chicken restaurant down the list to being “no longer conservative”. Here is an updated list of conservative and “not so conservative” companies in America today.
The information below is provided by Conservapedia.
“The following is a non-exhaustive list of for-profit companies which generally support conservative principles, individuals, and/or organizations. This list is based primarily on official, corporate activity, but also based partially on the activities of employees, which are not sponsored by their companies. The companies are categorized by the extent of their support for, as well as opposition to, conservative causes.”

I wish all conservatives would let every business promoting PRIDE. They need to know how many of us will stop being a customer if they continue supporting it.
