    Uh oh, someone didn’t read the article.

    The new logo did not go over well in some spheres, and on social media, conservative critics accused the restaurant chain of abandoning its traditional values or of being “woke.”

    and from the linked article that this is a follow up to:

    The president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., amplified a post on Wednesday suggesting that the logo change was led by CEO Julie Felss Masino to erase the American tradition aspect of the branding and make it more general, as a way of leaning into diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

    Conservative activist Robby Starbuck added his commentary on Thursday, writing in a post on X, “Good morning @CrackerBarrel! You’re about to learn that wokeness really doesn’t pay.”

      Nah, I did read it, it’s just clearly an opinion piece. Who are “conservative critics”?

      Even then, just because conservatives are bitching about yet another thing, doesn’t mean that democrats/liberals aren’t also doing some bitching/grumbling.

      Uh oh, someone lack critical thinking skills perhaps? Just because one dude is asserting a group holds an opinion or does one thing doesn’t mean it’s truthful and/or correct lol. That’s an easy way to fall for propaganda my guy.

      And I don’t know why you’re quoting pieces of the article to me as if I care. Again, I read it — I just really REALLY don’t give a fuck about what Trump does or does not think. I’m not some reactionary liberal who reads online that Trump disapproves of a thing and subsequently decides I must oppose him by gaslighting myself into liking the thing he hates or vice versa.

      It’s a shit logo. It’s not a result of “woke” values, it’s just bland corporate slop aimed at reducing potentially off-putting (in the mildest sense possible, as in “too much too look at for a logo”) marketing/branding material.

      I LOATHE how my leftist/liberal/democrat peers take the bait on things and live purely as reactionaries rather than staying focused on actually important shit like the Epstein files, wealth inequality, and corporate enshittificatiom of our lives.

      Stop caring if conservatives don’t like woke things. Of course they’re not going to like woke things. They also just tend to label things they don’t like as woke whether it actually is woke or not. Here, the logo is not woke, yet they call it woke because it objectively looks like shit and they want to associate “woke” with “shit”. I’m not falling for the trick, but plenty of conservatives are and plenty of dems are taking the bait and effectuating the Streisand effect for this garbage.

      I don’t even get why you made your comment tbh? Was this supposed to be a “gotcha”?
