I pretty much just get the seasoning, and I have no plans to stop or start buying everything else just because others are boycotting.
I will not be herded.

I’m conservative but dislike Trump/voting for Biden and no I don’t really care. People can like what they like. If Goya is on sale, I’m buying it. But I won’t go out of my way to buy it

No. I don't feel better. I feel sad that it has come to this. There is so much racism and anger against the Latino and the black community.
And the drama, my goodness. The fact that you have to make that statement.
Yes, all the drama coming from people that feel and think that it's OK to belittle and insult people. All the drama coming from people pretending to be nice when in reality they are mean. All the drama about "I'm going to go buy something I never even heard of just because I want to side with the bully."

A dollar's a dollar whether you like the person spending it or not
And here's evidence at least some consumers are spending their dollars on other products
Trump: bad for business!
Whole Foods has less than a 2% market share. Let’s see what the relevant grocers are doing.
Sure. Lets. In all likelihood it'll be about the same as usual.
But I can tell you that I will never buy another can of Goya beans.
I promise that I have/ will more than make up for you.
Lol. You're telling me that previously you bought less Goya products than you will buy now and forever into the future?
OK! Well, go for it.

DP. But are you buying more than you otherwise would have bought? And how long will you keep that up? Years? Decades?

“This spring, Goya donated over 300,000 pounds of food, or about 270,000 meals, to food banks and other organizations as part of its pandemic relief effort. The company said it also donated more 20,000 protective masks. Last month, Goya showed up with thousands of pounds of food for families in the Bronx and Harlem who have been affected by COVID-19. It donated food to a public school in Queens.”
I’m not Latino, but we always buy Goya products and will continue to do so. Especially now.
I'm not a boycotter but corporate charity doesn't impress me. Many corporations give away a teeny tiny portion of their profits but they are always sure to publicize this. I'm glad they do it, but it's basically just advertising not real generosity.

While the boss of Goya Foods defended his controversial support of President Trump last week, he also was quietly quashing an agreement to sell a chunk of the food giant — a deal that would have cost him his job, The Post has learned.
Chief Executive Robert Unanue — who sparked calls for a Goya boycott from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Bronx/Queens) and other Latino leaders after he said at a July 9 White House visit that “we’re all truly blessed” to have Trump as president — successfully nixed a minority stake sale that would have valued the privately-held canned-foods giant at more than $4 billion, insiders said.
The proposed deal with BDT Capital Partners — a buyout firm that sees potential to expand the brand and eventually take it public, according to sources — also would have required Unanue to leave the helm within 18 months to make way for a new chief executive, according to sources close to the situation.
Sources said Goya’s board of directors last Wednesday voted against the deal with BDT, which is headed by Byron Trott, a former Goldman Sachs banker known for his close relationship to legendary investor Warren Buffett. The vote came after Goya’s board had tentatively agreed to the deal a few weeks earlier, according to a source.

The deal fell apart because Unanue and the boycott. They wanted Unanue replaced but the board of lackeys just could not do it. Trumpism is just too toxic. Wonder how long Unanue will hang on?
