I buy their beans and other dry goods and will continue doing so.

Their products are more expensive than other brands. Not Latinx myself, but we purchase and eat a fair amount of Goya products. We will now avoid.

Please also avoid the gringo term “Latinx.” We still have our balls

Latina women have balls? Or you’re just so insecure that you can’t stand not having a tiny little letter ‘o’?

I buy Goya products. I won’t anymore. Donald Trump is a traitor, and I don’t have to give my money to company headed by a fool who thinks he should be praised. Unlike moron Republicans, however, I will consume the Goya beans I have on the shelf. Weren’t you morons just trashing your Keurig machines a few years ago?

you need to add your Goya pinto beans to that word salad.

Chickfila- people say they boycott them, yet they still thrive.

I do find it funny that people think it’s libs vs. cons here. It’s really not that anymore. It’s all Trump vs the rest.

And yet, despite your contention that they are still thriving, Chick-Fil-A received enough negative publicity that they ended up withdrawing their charitable donations to two Christian charities known for opposing same sex marriage, the point of the boycott. CFA stopped their multi-year charitable donations to The Salvation Army and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, effective 2018. The CFA spokesperson said that the foundation would turn its focus to giving on "education, homelessness and hunger."

So, although they did not acknowledge the boycott, it seems that the boycott had enough impact on the company to change their long-time charitable partnerships with two very anti-LGBTQ+ organizations.

You'd be surprised. I leave generous tips if the service is decent. (It usually is.) I have a couple of Dem friends that I go to lunch with from time to time. (I go with them separately, they do not know each other.) Both are in similar financial circumstances as I am. Both stick to 15%. One of them even has a little card that helps her figure out the 15%. I go for at least 20% --never less.

+1. I've noticed the same thing. In my view, it's because most of my D friends are "Karens" who expect everything to be just so in their little world, and like to control everything, including how much income other people get. My R friends are much more go-with-the-flow. "Hey she worked hard tonight, let's help her out."

Totally agree.

This reminds me of the old waiter wisdom that it was better to be assigned to the smoking section, as smokers were usually more laid back and tipped better. Most Karen’s didn’t smoke.

Because you assume Trump voters don’t eat ethnic foods? Wow, that’s some bubble you’ve insulated yourself in.

Many Trumpsters in middle America think Taco Bell is "real ethnic food".

No, I don't think most middle America Trumpsters have ever bought Goya foods.

I am continuously amazed at how clueless people here are about the world outside of the blue bubbles. You do realize that their are tons of Latinos in red states.

You are projecting your own ugly thoughts into other people’s heads. People who live in red states aren’t cartoon characters.

You also have a romanticized view of Latinos in the US (typical of UMC white liberals). For example, in Florida, most Latinos are middle class (not just the Cubans) and most of them don’t like illegal immigration anymore than anglos.

This is what Dems refuse to accept. Immigrants who came here *legally* aren't interested in helping other immigrants come *illegally*. Seems to always be the white, woke crowd insisting we need to open our country to anyone and everyone, at any time and for any reason. Nope.

Literally no one is happy about illegal immigration, except for rich and UMC whites and the illegal immigrants who provide their cheap labor. Ironically, their presence contributes to unemployment among poorer Black Americans who have to compete with them for jobs. Google the Chicago bakery that hired several hundred, mostly Black, workers after getting busted by ICE.

Democrats got Trump elected mainly due to their doubling down on the wrong side of illegal immigration due to the tendency of their party leadership and media outlets to lump all Latinos together and assume that they would be grateful to them. The woke crowd still commonly assumes that all Latinos were deeply offended by Trump’s comments about Mexicans, as if all Latinos are Mexican. This is especially problematic in Florida, which has a huge Latino population that is mostly not Mexican.

By the way, the comments were made at the unveiling of the Executive Order on the White House Hispanic Prosperity Initiative. Such an evil thing to do. What is Trump thinking taking the initiative to promote Hispanic Prosperity.

Just say no to prosperity!!!

It’s unclear whether Goya’s sales will go up or down, let alone go bankrupt. It would be more accurate to describe Trump’s brand as polarizing.

If what I saw at my Walmart yesterday is any indication, Goya sales are through the roof. The canned bean aisle was bare of Goya and yet plenty of Bush Beans and a store brand or two remained. So, like the good Trump voter that I am, I got back in my car and went to a grocery store to find Goya brand canned beans. They were also very low as compared to other brands, but had a few cans remaining. So I bought those. I will wait another week or so for them to replenish Goya, but more and then head to a food bank.

And worse, he doubled down and defended his comments when challenged in social media.

Good for him!

Dude. Don't be in here trying to explain nuances lol.

Trump will take a larger share of the so-called "black vote" this time.
