[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone share an “over the top” email?[/quote]

Subscribe to their emails. You will get one immediately and know exactly what everyone means.[/quote]

If you're curious but don't want to subscribe, go to their website and click on the About Republicans page:
https://www.penzeys.com/shop/about-republicans/
This will give you a pretty good idea of the tone of their emails. There's usually a political musing followed by a sales pitch for spices.

FWIW I usually agree with him, but find it really strange to have such outspoken political rantings embedded in product advertising.  [/quote]

That post seems very normal. It’s not over the top. They describe how they believe in conservative values but Trump doesn’t stand for any conservative values.. no sh!t Chet!

So you just feel bad about the messaging not that they are over the top.

As suspected.[/quote]

This is the problem in the current environment.

People feel the need to police and make their own decision on what someone else is allowed to find offensive. You can be both totally against Trump AND not a fan of the Penzey’s emails. [/quote]

I'm the one who posted the website link.  As I said, I agree with the message.  I'm as pro-Harris and anti-Trump as it gets. I take no issue with what he has to say.

But as someone who doesn't spend every minute of my day thinking about politics, and loves cooking and spices, I was thrown off a few times just by how out of place it seemed. Like I'd get an email from my favorite spice company, click on it looking for their latest new blend, and instead it's a discussion of politics. Just a bit jarring when I was looking for information on curry powders or dried herb mixes, you know? So I stopped reading them. I get my political news elsewhere, I don't need product advertising to have it in my face also.[/quote]

You didn’t really have to write all that all you had to do is say I prefer to be part of the silent majority. [/quote]
