Trump sends out a tweet asking for people to support her company now. With many of his followers now expecting more jobs in the U.S and extra discretionary income, it just might have a positive outcome.

Linda Bean Calls Anti-Trump Boycotts 'Un-American,' Form of Bullying


Linda Bean, the granddaughter and co-owner of L.L. Bean, on Thursday said U.S. businesses are under attack and being bullied by anti-Trump groups.

A group, Grabyourwallet.org, called for a boycott of L.L. Bean after Linda Bean, one of 50 family members that own the outdoor apparel maker, contributed $60,000 to a political action committee supporting President-elect Donald Trump. The Federal Election Commission said the donation exceeded the PAC’s individual donor limit of $5,000.

“It’s bullying,” Bean told the FOX Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo. “They want to control how we spend our money, what we buy, where we buy it. That’s wrong, it’s un-American.”

Grabyourwallet.org is calling for boycotts on 38 stores – including Walmart, Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s – that carry Trump products, are supportive of Trump, are owned by Trump or are “normalizing Trump.”

“I gave the donation personally to a pact to support Trump,” she said. “We should have that privilege. We live in America. It’s a free country.”

Sounds like a "snowflake", as the silly term is currently being used. A business has to deal with customer dissatisfaction.

 

[mdk]

Though I think these boycotts are silly, it isn't 'un-American' to boycott.

 

[BULLDOG]

She donated 60,000 when the legal limit was 5,000 and she thinks people are being mean to her. Typical rich spoiled brat.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Linda is a cup cake. Businesses must deal with customers, those satisfied and those not.

Bean can go bean herself. Take the orange man with her.

Where was she for the last eight years during the continuous Obamagate? Maybe, she was being un-American?

All ya have to do is print out future billboards with the phrase...no lefties allowed...they'll be suing to get in...on the other hand
If a left wing boycott works Beans profits may soar due to a drastic drop off in shop lifting.

 

[kiwiman127]

I believe that LL Bean is a popular brand with the Yuppie crowd, which is more top heavy with liberals. So, insult their customer base, lose business..

Yuppism... is not definable entirely by income or class. Rather, it is a late-20th century cultural phenomenon of self-absorbed young professionals, earning good pay, enjoying the cultural attractions of sophisticated urban life and thought, and generally out of touch with, indeed antithetical to, most of the challenges and concerns of a far less well-off and more parochial Middle America. For the yuppie male a well-paying job in tech, law, finance, academia or consulting in a cultural hub, hip fashion, cool appearance, studied poise, elite education, proper recreation and fitness and general proximity to liberal-thinking elites, especially of the more rarefied sort in the arts, are the mark of a real man.[4]

So I guess L. L. Bean is 'bullying' their competitors when they do advertising that encourages people to buy L. L. Bean products,

which means they are encouraging people NOT to buy their competitors' products.

Boycott that bitch!!!!!

Give her the boot!!!

 

[Frankeneinstein]

I believe that LL Bean is a popular brand with the Yuppie crowd, which is more top heavy with liberals. So, insult their customer base, lose business..

Yuppism... is not definable entirely by income or class. Rather, it is a late-20th century cultural phenomenon of self-absorbed young professionals, earning good pay, enjoying the cultural attractions of sophisticated urban life and thought, and generally out of touch with, indeed antithetical to, most of the challenges and concerns of a far less well-off and more parochial Middle America. For the yuppie male a well-paying job in tech, law, finance, academia or consulting in a cultural hub, hip fashion, cool appearance, studied poise, elite education, proper recreation and fitness and general proximity to liberal-thinking elites, especially of the more rarefied sort in the arts, are the mark of a real man.[4]
Yuppie - Wikipedia

Yuppies are or were far more conservative as are the shoppers of LLBean, the term yuppie was used to describe the new younger generation growing to support Reagan in the 80's with their emphasis on money and "trappings" and replacing the old liberal generation of hippies from the 60's and 70's that so dominated urban and suburban America with their emphasis on drug use and doing their own thing.

Is that why Wikipedia that I linked, included them as liberal thinking elites?
