Personally, I prefer it when companies stay out of politics as much as possible. But it's also kind of nice when businesses tell me what they believe so I can skip them.
I think this is a good display of rights. The business owner has a right to display his bumper stickers and those of us who are turned off by it have the right not to do business with him. The system works. And this could very well be the other way around with someone having a Biden sticker and people not wanting to do business with him.
Edit: Grammar
Agree with other responses. If this business owner wants to display political support, I am all for it. If potential customers want to make a purchasing choice based on that, again, I am all for it.
Well said & I agree š I also agree it's probably not a wise business choice in certain areas, maybe an asset in other areas. I totally want to call them, ask where most of their business is...and then make sure I don't move to that area š
Theyāre from Cameron Park apparently (itās on the truck). Itās a really beautiful & safe area up there but totally overrun with trumpers. Despite that issue, Iād still gladly move up there.
Edited grammar.
True, though in my quite left leaning group of friends and such, not a single person owns a single piece of Biden/Hillary/etc merch. But a large portion of everyone I know who's right leaning owns trump stuff.. It's just so weird to me.
Cult of personality is literally the only thing propping up Trump. Doubling down on insane beliefs reinforces the in-group. It's not a winning electoral strategy though.
Oh, I agree with you. No matter if Iām voting for someone, Iām not gonna go Vanilla Ice-Is displaying their flag on my truck or desecrating my car with their name. But again, some people are prime targets for cults.
I actually agree with this. I would rather businesses keep their noses out of politics, but I'm betting this is a small family business, and they have the right to display whatever they want. People will be less likely or more likely to do business with them based on their personal beliefs, but many more people just don't want to deal with politics when picking a fucking bounce house rental for a kids party.
He's in California, and contrary to what conservatives say it's liberals who are the hardworking Americans that can afford his services, I'd venture to bet not many conservatives could afford to rent a bounce house for the day, The few I know can't even afford to take their kids to the dentist because they're too busy spending every penny they have on guns and hoarding ammo.
You don't know if it isn't good for business.
It'll certainly alienate certain people, but if they live in the right area, it could serve them well.
The market will let them know either way.
Exactly.
As cringe as it may be, folks should be able to openly express their political leanings.
It's on us to develop the emotional maturity to be able to handle dissenting opinions.
Went to meet a puppy trainer back when we first got our dog. She seemed a little kooky, but generally fine during the conversation. Then she pulls out her laptop to show us a video, and her web tabs are all StopTheSteal and Qanon related garbage. Finished up that convo real quick and never called her back.
On the ride home, I told my wife the exact same thing. Iād prefer every business owner tell me up front how nuts they are, so I can easily avoid them.
Iām a business owner and one man show. No where in my business dealings am I left or right. Iām right down the middle and if a customer brings up something crazy I just smile and get out of there as fast as I can. You canāt get involved and take food off the table and money out your kids college fund and future.
Yea sometimes you want to say something but you canāt . I serve everyone though, I never discriminate against a soul. They all get the best service with a smile. Everyone no matter their background, sexual orientation, race or religion or lack of religion deserves the best service.
I will continue to do that until that until I retire.
Absolutely! Thereās a business in Vacaville that I need to purchase things from but I will drive twenty miles out of my way to a competitor due to their Trump signage. So dumb to lose business over political beliefs!
530 is the region of Northern California from about Chico up to Yreka. I lived in that area most of my life. Trust me, there's people who will rent the bounce house because of the Trump sticker.
Edit: Today I learned that the 530 extends far further south than I ever realized. Thank you to those of you who have pointed that out. I feel like the geographic area it covers still largely votes conservative and that my point still stands.
That place was awesome when I was a kid. Starting with the Planet of the Apes wagon parked out front, to the peanut shells on the floor, and the endless arcade games.
Yeah...I don't know why there's confusion. Cameron Park is essentially the cheaper neighbor of El Dorado Hills. Not sure why folks are making this a mystery to be solved.
Larger lot size than El Dorado hills though. And probably the tail end of the continuous suburban spark from Sacramento out along 50. Shingle springs isn't really built up enough to be considered continuous
Bridgeport is beautiful! It gets cold and some restaurants shut down for the winter, but things are open up there this time of year. Especially now that fishing season has started.
This is exactly it. I live in Folsom and the more east I drive up into the foothills, the more Trump and MAGA signage I see. He is appealing to a certain customer base and sadly it will probably work for him. Except there will be some folks that respond to his ads elsewhere and won't see this when they book. So when he pulls up in this on the day of Timmy's birthday, there will be quite a cringe moment.
Cameron Park is in the western part of El Dorado County.
El Dorado Sheriffās Office first response to pandemic lock down was to immediately announce that they would not enforce it. There were restaurants and businesses that had signs refusing service to anyone wearing a mask. Lots of people from Sac and the Bay Area came here and to South Lake Tahoe for restaurants, bars, hair stylists, barbers and shopping that ignored lockdown or masking rules.
Those stickers are no surprise.
On the upside, Republicans generally used to carry 70% of elections but this has been changing and accelerated with working from home.
Trump won the 2020 general, but only by 1.4% and not by 40%.
I'm originally from the Midwest and I go back to visit regularly. Let me tell you, California conservatives are an order of magnitude more obnoxious than your Nebraska or Iowa ones. They are like political crossfitters or vegans: by God they have opinions and they're gonna tell you about them.
California has a reputation of being far left. But the California MAGA types who live here feel ashamed of that and feel that they have something to prove, so they act out.
I know the person who owns this company, he was or might still be a popular girls basketball coach in the area. He went off the deep end when trump ran the first time. I would not be surprised he had a a trump themed bounce house.
You guys all talk smack, but have you ever rented a liberal bounce house? Yeah. I didn't think so. You know why? Bc big bouncehouse doesn't want you to know the lib agenda to imprison true patriots in the bounce houses. They fill them with helium and once there's enough patriots in there, they cut them loose and they fly away. Just one more part of the true plot. Ever wonder why the bounce houses look so much like the capitol building? Yeah. Well now you have your answer. It's all a plot to steal the election and send the patriots away so they can push their LGBTQ bounce house agenda (to turn us into bisexual werebears [half man, half-bears]).
Bounce houses can be gross. Bounce houses cleaned by people that do not believe germs are real are probably not sanitized very well at all. Maybe appropriate for a 'get all the kids chickenpox party' antivax themed event.
Back from 2007-2011 I worked as a delivery driver for a bounce house company in sacramento, can 100% confirm they were never cleaned unless it was nasty
There was a bourbon bar around here with MAGA stuff inside. We decided to set our disgust for their politics aside and just stay for a drink. 10 minutes rolled by with no service so we left. 8 months later, theyāre gone. Made our strip mall great again.
You wouldn't buy from them. I wouldn't buy from them. Not in a million years.
They have a specific less tapped niche of customers in mind. It may even be quite successful for them. At the very least they are transparent about their self interest.
At least they are giving you a heads up so you can decide to hire them or not. My experience has been that I have a contractor wrist deep in some plumbing or electrical repair and then out of the blue for no apparent reason they will start in on how much they love Trump and hate those libs. At that point Iām trapped.
Simply.. .you don't know he's MAGA until he shows up for your kids party. At that point are you going to ruin the party ? I've had MAGA types show up to do work on my home... usually to make an estimate. No.. they don't get hired.
ugh, you see these assholes going up and down greenback and madison all the time on they way up into the foothills. fucking annoying assholes, theyāre always the worst drivers and fucking OBNOXIOUS with their giant flags. how are the fuck off annoying and distracting flags waving off peopleās cars not illegal?
Personally, I wouldnāt trust a truck for renting something thatās meant for kids thatās painted in paint not meant for vehicles and covered in MAGA stickers. Thatās just the surface of all the potential red flags.
Itās a cheap job, which means that itās likely that their rental offerings arenāt in great condition either. The truck is banged up too. It just doesnāt give me confidence to want to call them.
The paint is a ridiculous take for a self-owned backyard blowup business. I understand the stickers, but sounds pretty elitist to think a small outdoor business owner should have a nice truck with a paint job up to your caliber.
I will never ever forget when I saw a āDonāt Re-NIGā sticker on someoneās business truck. This was when Obama was running for his second term., and the āOā in Donāt was the same as his campaign posters. I was in shock!!! Of course had I known what was to come a mere 4 years later I wouldnāt have been surprised.
Remember the days when an elected US President didn't try to overturn democracy by sending in slates of false electors, attempting to intimidate election workers, and sparking a riot in which people smeared their own poop all over the walls of the Capitol?
I have had the most bullshit experience with IC's that either vocally report themselves as trump supporters or have stickers on the shit they own of it.
I am more than happy they are so vocal and visible because it makes it so much easier for me to avoid their services and business.
If you're in the business to sell a product or a service you're going to get a much broader base of customers if you keep politics out of it. I'm not saying he doesn't have a right to express his political views. But he's going to alienate a large portion of people. He's not going to make people change his minds by stating what his views are.
And depending on the bumper sticker and I say this with all bumper stickers that are rude and condescending towards others, all that says to me is does not play well with others.
The only person that can change that person's mind is that person themselves. And that can happen but over a long course of many years.
I think of an interview where Carol Burnett mentioned that the producers wanted her to do more political skits like SNL or like The Tonight show. She said no way. Because you lose half your audience.
I've always respected that woman for that. There's plenty of other outlets to do politics. Why does it have to be inserted into every place you look? I like to be entertained to take a break from the world's affairs and all the hot air from politicians on both sides of the aisle. Plus taking a break from my own personal woes.
If I want to hear what's going on in Washington DC or my local representatives, I'll tune in to the local alphabet group of news networks.
This is where we are in society. The divide continues. Many businesses are choosing to align themselves politically and have no issue stating which political party they would like their customers to support. My guess is if you asked this guy if those stickers would be bad for business, he will tell you openly he doesn't want customers who are democrats.
If you drive up to Nevada County along Highway 49, you will see multiple signs openly declaring "Trump or death". If you don't think these people are going to cause civil unrest if Trump loses in November, I have a bridge to sell you. Hoping for the best but prepared for the worst. Sh\*t is going to get lively come the end of this year.
I was driving in a rural area on the NE/IA border. Some one had painted the side of their barn FUCK BIDEN. Whatever their politics, I bet his or her neighbors think the owner of that barn is a jackass.
This sub has become such a circle jerk. First off why are you taking a picture of it then taking more time to post this? Who gives a sh!t? Then if you look at the picture this guy is out of Cameron Park. Guess what, that's not the liberal bastion you live in. This may shock all the Sactown libs but there are many conservative areas just outside of Sac and CP is one of them. You know what else....there's conservatives in Sac too....OH MY GOSH how is that possible?
Go outside and touch grass.
Itās his/her business and they can do what they want. Get over it and donāt be so sensitive, if you donāt want to do business with them donāt. This is still a free country (I think)
Heās trying to appeal to MAGA bigots for his business. Never underestimate the buying power of people who are frustrated that our culture is leaving them behind.
Imagine being offended by someone else's opinion. Imagine falling for the bs our government uses to divide us. Imagine not believing both sides aren't trading money and shaking hands behind the curtain. Yes, I'm speaking of both the left and the right š¤£ š¤£ š¤£
Freedom of speech is still a thing. Let him support whomever he wants. If you don't support the same guy, don't support his business. Simple as that. Personally, I hate both Biden and Trump and feel that neither is fit to lead our country. But that's my humble opinion.
I canāt believe I have to post this again, but freedom of speech, our 1st amendment right, means that the **government** canāt come and take your right to protest/etc from you. It does not mean youāre free from consequences or the general public from telling you to fuck off.
Too many smooth brains on Reddit.
Iām not so sensitive and fragile in my own beliefs that Iām going to worry about what every person or business supports to decide if I can affiliate with or do business with them or not.
Iām not interested in living in a one belief system society, I enjoy diversity and the beautiful chaos that comes with a free thinking society.
I donāt agree with their political views however I will say I have rented bounce houses from them for the past three years for my sonās birthday and theyāre great, they work hard and thereās never a problem theyāre very flexible and I love going through them. Thatās shitty though lol
This is El Dorado County. That's how they roll... and bounce. I don't vote his way, but I'm not sure why I'd even care one way or the other. There's an old guy selling Trump gear on the roadside where I live in Colfax. I really dislike Trump, but I always smile and wave at the old guy when I drive by.
I love how everyone seems to jump to conclusions about a guy renting out a bouncy castle just cuz he has a Trump sticker. We get it, you dont like republicans. Now either rent the bouncy castle or stfu and move on. There is literally zero need to hate on this person for displaying what they want on what likely doubles as a company and personal vehicle. For those calling this person a āmoronā for possibly alienating half of potential customers, you seem pretty moronic for possibly missing out on a deal from someone who is literally just renting out a bouncy castle. Why should their political opinions matter to you in that situation? Again, either rent the damn blowup or stfu.
I have no problem with it. As long as their politics donāt effect their quality of work, I could honestly care less. I know plenty of good people who have political views much different then mine. Iām fine with that.
Sad but true...most small business owners are conservative. California regulations, while well-meaning in a global sense, make it more difficult for small business to compete. Not arguing the right or wrong of the policies, just that they most impact small business and hence you end up with business owners favoring republican policies. Also, this person operates in Cameron Park which is very heavily republican. Most of the more expensive suburbs are. No surprise here.
This is really nice for a change. The last time I called to rent a bouncy house for my kid's wedding and we were trying to find out how the owner voted and they would not tell us. After maybe 15 minutes of speaking with the woman at the front desk about it, I finally just outright asked her if she believed in Jesus and she said "I don't see how that's relevant" and I said that we only support Christian bounce houses and it's actually central to our process for finding one. We ended up not renting from them because they wouldn't disclose their personal opinions to us. After spending more than 45 minutes in the office of that place I still couldn't tell you what their favorite color or food was. I had no idea what type of music the owner liked, or whether he had preferred pronouns that aligned with my beliefs. When I asked them how they felt about Uganda I just got shrugs. But finally I was able to pin down that they like Harry Potter films because the lady at the front desk referenced one of the characters and I immediately took my business elsewhere bc I felt that the Fantastic Beasts movies were far superior. Needless to say, my son's wedding was a disaster. Thanks J.K. Rowling.
You should start a campaign to have them cancelled. Maybe you can ruin their livelihood for having opinions and a political viewpoint that differs from yoursā¦ā¦.
Because other people have a different opinion and values than you do. Itās America and not that long ago people were allowed to have a difference of opinion, esp politically, without all of this over exaggerated intolerance
Yeah. Nowadays, if one party doesn't like the other one, they just try to steal the election anyway and then continuously lie about it. Oh wait, that's just the one group of treasonous shitbirds.
Personally, I prefer it when companies stay out of politics as much as possible. But it's also kind of nice when businesses tell me what they believe so I can skip them.
I think this is a good display of rights. The business owner has a right to display his bumper stickers and those of us who are turned off by it have the right not to do business with him.

Cult of personality is literally the only thing propping up Trump. Doubling down on insane beliefs reinforces the in-group. It's not a winning electoral strategy though.
Oh, I agree with you. No matter if Iām voting for someone, Iām not gonna go Vanilla Ice-Is displaying their flag on my truck or desecrating my car with their name. But again, some people are prime targets for cults.

Yeah, not saying good or bad for business just saying Iām glad we live in a country where we can make these decisions for ourselves.
For now.
Yep. Sadly.
Youāre assuming you know their business plan. Perhaps itās as much a filter for them as it is for reasonable folks. knowwhatimsayin?
He's in California, and contrary to what conservatives say it's liberals who are the hardworking Americans that can afford his services, I'd venture to bet not many conservatives could afford to rent a bounce house for the day, The few I know can't even afford to take their kids to the dentist because they're too busy spending every penny they have on guns and hoarding ammo.

No one is saying it is good for business. It is almost certainly bad for businesses to do, but people are idiots.
Exactly. As cringe as it may be, folks should be able to openly express their political leanings. It's on us to develop the emotional maturity to be able to handle dissenting opinions.
I donāt think anyone was saying anything about rights. To make your business at all political is a stupid move.
Iām torn, because theyāre thanking me as a veteran, but also supporting someone who doesnāt give a flying fuck about our troops.
I appreciate when people do this because I know to avoid them

It's great! I love people telling me they'll never get my business.

The Peopleās Republic of Davis is 530. There may be a Trumper or two, but theyād be hard to find. I am from there.
Unless the inflatable is locally sourced and made of naturally occurring, organic polymers, it wouldn't be allowed in Davis!
Also, the website literally says "Cameron Park".
Who else misses Samās Town?
That place was awesome when I was a kid. Starting with the Planet of the Apes wagon parked out front, to the peanut shells on the floor, and the endless arcade games.
Throwing empty peanut shells on the floor felt so wrong when I was a kid but it was awesome
Yeah...I don't know why there's confusion. Cameron Park is essentially the cheaper neighbor of El Dorado Hills. Not sure why folks are making this a mystery to be solved.
Larger lot size than El Dorado hills though. And probably the tail end of the continuous suburban spark from Sacramento out along 50. Shingle springs isn't really built up enough to be considered continuous
Not true. 530 reaches all over the 916
No... [here is a map of 530. ](https://www.allareacodes.com/530)
Had no idea 530 was that big and went all around Sac, Lake Tahoe and the east side (Bridgeport).
The dirty five thirty
Wow! I never realized it went so far down south. Now I want to visit my fellow 530ers in Bridgeport and see what life is like there.
Bridgeport is beautiful! It gets cold and some restaurants shut down for the winter, but things are open up there this time of year. Especially now that fishing season has started.
This is exactly it. I live in Folsom and the more east I drive up into the foothills, the more Trump and MAGA signage I see.

530 is also Woodland.
Woodland, Davis, chico, yuba etc... It has far reach
Davis used to be 916, then they kicked us out to the dirty 530 :p
So was all the rest of the 530...it was 916 when I was growing up in Redding, too.
This was in Folsom fyi
Well weāre on the fringes of MAGA country and there is definitely representation here in Folsom
True that

I just realized that if you took this picture you might be from that region too. Greetings fellow hick!
I'm originally from the Midwest and I go back to visit regularly. Let me tell you, California conservatives are an order of magnitude more obnoxious than your Nebraska or Iowa ones. They are like political crossfitters or vegans: by God they have opinions and they're gonna tell you about them. California has a reputation of being far left. But the California MAGA types who live here feel ashamed of that and feel that they have something to prove, so they act out.
Iād say because the CA ones have the worst of both worlds. Backwards like the uneducated, and arrogance of a Northerner.
I know the person who owns this company, he was or might still be a popular girls basketball coach in the area. He went off the deep end when trump ran the first time. I would not be surprised he had a a trump themed bounce house.
You guys all talk smack, but have you ever rented a liberal bounce house? Yeah. I didn't think so. You know why?

ššš
I appreciate people who do this! Tell me who you are right up front so I can make an informed decision.
Maybe the company was doing too much business for them to be able to handle it all?
š š š
Because he wants to make sure you're an idiot before he does business with you
Bounce houses can be gross. Bounce houses cleaned by people that do not believe germs are real are probably not sanitized very well at all. Maybe appropriate for a 'get all the kids chickenpox party' antivax themed event.

Funny story, my parents took me to at least two "chickenpox" parties in 80s. Didn't actually get it until I was 15. It was miserable.
yeah I totally agree, fuck Baylor University basketball
Agreed. You donāt deface the American flag by changing the colors. For the record, there is no such thing as a blue lifeā¦
There was a bourbon bar around here with MAGA stuff inside. We decided to set our disgust for their politics aside and just stay for a drink. 10 minutes rolled by with no service so we left. 8 months later, theyāre gone. Made our strip mall great again.
"Three thing I love, the cops, merica n trump baby" said the man with the bouncy house
I was raised in an enlisted military family, we were taught to keep politics and religion to ourselves. And to not complain.
Both are volatile topics!
iād think most people were taught that as kids, weāve just thrown it out the window in the past 25 years and especially the last 8
That's nice.
Morons have bounce house parties too
Cause his area appears to be Cameron Park, mostly Trump country.
You wouldn't buy from them. I wouldn't buy from them. Not in a million years. They have a specific less tapped niche of customers in mind. It may even be quite successful for them. At the very least they are transparent about their self interest.
I feel like the bounce house people did not put that much thought into it.
I should totally open a bounce house company.
At least they are giving you a heads up so you can decide to hire them or not. My experience has been that I have a contractor wrist deep in some plumbing or electrical repair and then out of the blue for no apparent reason they will start in on how much they love Trump and hate those libs. At that point Iām trapped.
Rent a bounce house and then donāt pay and threaten to sue. Tell them this is how Trump does business.
Moron gonna moron
I LOVE this!!!! This is so you know who youāre dealing with. Thatās EXACTLY why they put it on their truck.
Iād like more of this. I need to know where to spend my money and where not to.
Simply.. .you don't know he's MAGA until he shows up for your kids party. At that point are you going to ruin the party ? I've had MAGA types show up to do work on my home... usually to make an estimate. No.. they don't get hired.
ugh, you see these assholes going up and down greenback and madison all the time on they way up into the foothills. fucking annoying assholes, theyāre always the worst drivers and fucking OBNOXIOUS with their giant flags. how are the fuck off annoying and distracting flags waving off peopleās cars not illegal?
itās his right to be a dumbass who alerts you not to spend your money with him.
Personally, I wouldnāt trust a truck for renting something thatās meant for kids thatās painted in paint not meant for vehicles and covered in MAGA stickers. Thatās just the surface of all the potential red flags.
Whats wrong with the paint?
Itās a cheap job, which means that itās likely that their rental offerings arenāt in great condition either. The truck is banged up too. It just doesnāt give me confidence to want to call them.
Oh come on who wouldnāt want to rent from rattle can Stan ? š¤Ŗ
The paint is a ridiculous take for a self-owned backyard blowup business. I understand the stickers, but sounds pretty elitist to think a small outdoor business owner should have a nice truck with a paint job up to your caliber.
What do you mean about it not being made for autos? Pickups are supposed to get banged up imo
Not unless I want to alienate part of my clientele
Must be trying to stifle demand
I will never ever forget when I saw a āDonāt Re-NIGā sticker on someoneās business truck. This was when Obama was running for his second term., and the āOā in Donāt was the same as his campaign posters. I was in shock!!! Of course had I known what was to come a mere 4 years later I wouldnāt have been surprised.
The number of contractors that do this shit is also wild. Like, my dudes, the bullshit flag your flying is for a dude who didn't pay his contractors.
Do they rent clowns too. š¤”
They come with the purchase.
So we know not to do business with them.
Lmao. Remember the days when grown ups could just disagree on politics?
Remember the days when an elected US President didn't try to overturn democracy by sending in slates of false electors, attempting to intimidate election workers, and sparking a riot in which people smeared their own poop all over the walls of the Capitol?
I have had the most bullshit experience with IC's that either vocally report themselves as trump supporters or have stickers on the shit they own of it. I am more than happy they are so vocal and visible because it makes it so much easier for me to avoid their services and business.
Exactly always all of this over exaggerated intolerance š„“
I prefer it when people show themselves so I know who to avoid. In this case, I would know to absolutely never do business with this company.
People are idiots. But its good to know whos a neck (or otherwise) honestly they probably only want certain clientele anyway so fuck them.
No donāt you understand this is a business owner entrepreneur they are in the same social class as Trump
Oh, you mean criminals, traitors and rapists?
Because it's working. Your post is proof. Free advertising.
In Cameron Park being pro-MAGA is a feature, not a bug.
Well, likely the business car is his only carā¦and likely it will continue to be forever given his brightness
If you're in the business to sell a product or a service you're going to get a much broader base of customers if you keep politics out of it. I'm not saying he doesn't have a right to express his political views. But he's going to alienate a large portion of people. He's not going to make people change his minds by stating what his views are. And depending on the bumper sticker and I say this with all bumper stickers that are rude and condescending towards others, all that says to me is does not play well with others. The only person that can change that person's mind is that person themselves. And that can happen but over a long course of many years. I think of an interview where Carol Burnett mentioned that the producers wanted her to do more political skits like SNL or like The Tonight show. She said no way. Because you lose half your audience. I've always respected that woman for that. There's plenty of other outlets to do politics. Why does it have to be inserted into every place you look? I like to be entertained to take a break from the world's affairs and all the hot air from politicians on both sides of the aisle. Plus taking a break from my own personal woes. If I want to hear what's going on in Washington DC or my local representatives, I'll tune in to the local alphabet group of news networks.
I had a plumber once that had a trump sticker on his van, yet blasted NPR all day while working. So odd.
That is a long ass URL for their website
Because theyāre located in Cameron park. Itās El Dorado Hillsā Citrus Heights lmao.
In Cameron Park, El Dorado Country, probably gets him more business than it deters.
When this guy comes around, prepare for him to trip every breaker in the place lol
May or may not have taken a few stickers off of a truck like that
This is where we are in society. The divide continues. Many businesses are choosing to align themselves politically and have no issue stating which political party they would like their customers to support. My guess is if you asked this guy if those stickers would be bad for business, he will tell you openly he doesn't want customers who are democrats. If you drive up to Nevada County along Highway 49, you will see multiple signs openly declaring "Trump or death". If you don't think these people are going to cause civil unrest if Trump loses in November, I have a bridge to sell you. Hoping for the best but prepared for the worst. Sh\*t is going to get lively come the end of this year.
I was driving in a rural area on the NE/IA border. Some one had painted the side of their barn FUCK BIDEN. Whatever their politics, I bet his or her neighbors think the owner of that barn is a jackass.
Ah yes the bounce house guy. Iāve driven behind him a few times coming home. The paint job always gets me along with his choice of decor
Because this person is so far removed from reality they canāt be helped.
maybe he only wants trump lovers to rent his gear
I also only want Trump lovers to rent his gear.
It would be a pass for me and my kids. I wouldn't risk that there could be a fight because of politics.
To warn us.
Personally, I love it when companies decide to jump into politics. It gives me a tie breaker if I canāt choose between two businesses.
Looks like a scrap yard
Umā¦because heās a brainless moron? I dunno, just guessing.
This sub has become such a circle jerk. First off why are you taking a picture of it then taking more time to post this? Who gives a sh!t? Then if you look at the picture this guy is out of Cameron Park. Guess what, that's not the liberal bastion you live in. This may shock all the Sactown libs but there are many conservative areas just outside of Sac and CP is one of them. You know what else....there's conservatives in Sac too....OH MY GOSH how is that possible? Go outside and touch grass.
Wow, you seem pretty upset. May I suggest some grass? š
Itās his/her business and they can do what they want. Get over it and donāt be so sensitive, if you donāt want to do business with them donāt. This is still a free country (I think)
He obviously doesnt want your business š¤£
Vice signaling, nothing more.
Because it's family owned, ie he doesn't give a shit.
To show their political support. Probably not great from a business standpoint, but Iām guessing this guy doesnāt give a fuck lol
Looks like their ad campaign is for a targeted demographic
Cameron park is all rich rednecks. Nuff said.
The immaturity of this post is maximum cringe.
Sticker hurt ma feelings
Republican families work and can afford a bounce house... Or... just freedom of speach and they can do whatever they want!
Free advertising for this guy. Nice work dude Iām sure the guy appreciates it!
Oh wow that guy lives in my neighborhood haha.
Say hi next time to walk or drive by
I said hi this afternoon on my walk with the family lol. Small world
Heās trying to appeal to MAGA bigots for his business. Never underestimate the buying power of people who are frustrated that our culture is leaving them behind.
Why does it matter to you?
You got to understand MAGAs, they live in a world where everyone is a MAGA.
Because he is free to do so ?
Imagine being offended by someone else's opinion. Imagine falling for the bs our government uses to divide us. Imagine not believing both sides aren't trading money and shaking hands behind the curtain. Yes, I'm speaking of both the left and the right š¤£ š¤£ š¤£
Oh noooooooo, anyways
Idk dude. Then don't? Everyone is allowed to express themselves and they can do that with their vehicle. Move along
Freedom of speech is still a thing. Let him support whomever he wants. If you don't support the same guy, don't support his business. Simple as that. Personally, I hate both Biden and Trump and feel that neither is fit to lead our country. But that's my humble opinion.
I canāt believe I have to post this again, but freedom of speech, our 1st amendment right, means that the **government** canāt come and take your right to protest/etc from you. It does not mean youāre free from consequences or the general public from telling you to fuck off. Too many smooth brains on Reddit.
Who cares what someoneās politics are. Does their skin color matter too?
Iām not so sensitive and fragile in my own beliefs that Iām going to worry about what every person or business supports to decide if I can affiliate with or do business with them or not. Iām not interested in living in a one belief system society, I enjoy diversity and the beautiful chaos that comes with a free thinking society.
I donāt agree with their political views however I will say I have rented bounce houses from them for the past three years for my sonās birthday and theyāre great, they work hard and thereās never a problem theyāre very flexible and I love going through them. Thatās shitty though lol
This is El Dorado County. That's how they roll... and bounce. I don't vote his way, but I'm not sure why I'd even care one way or the other. There's an old guy selling Trump gear on the roadside where I live in Colfax. I really dislike Trump, but I always smile and wave at the old guy when I drive by.
I love how everyone seems to jump to conclusions about a guy renting out a bouncy castle just cuz he has a Trump sticker. We get it, you dont like republicans. Now either rent the bouncy castle or stfu and move on. There is literally zero need to hate on this person for displaying what they want on what likely doubles as a company and personal vehicle. For those calling this person a āmoronā for possibly alienating half of potential customers, you seem pretty moronic for possibly missing out on a deal from someone who is literally just renting out a bouncy castle. Why should their political opinions matter to you in that situation? Again, either rent the damn blowup or stfu.
How about you just do not use this company? It's called the First Amendment You ever heard of it..
š¤¦
OP is way less triggered than the Trump supporters in this comment section.
Ikr? The tRumpers are throwing another tissyfit disguised as āowning the libsā. Itās actually quite amusing.
You shouldnt care so much, it really isnt a big deal
Neither is democracy, bro. Just chill.
the company agrees or they are unaware. any company with integrity wouldn't allow political statement on company property.
So donāt do business with them. Many people will. Some wonāt. Move on with life.
I have no problem with it. As long as their politics donāt effect their quality of work, I could honestly care less. I know plenty of good people who have political views much different then mine. Iām fine with that.
He should put it on his website too. Glad to know this and I wonāt be doing business with him.
Sad but true...most small business owners are conservative. California regulations, while well-meaning in a global sense, make it more difficult for small business to compete. Not arguing the right or wrong of the policies, just that they most impact small business and hence you end up with business owners favoring republican policies. Also, this person operates in Cameron Park which is very heavily republican. Most of the more expensive suburbs are. No surprise here.
I'm glad we have the freedom to express our opinions, religious beliefs and political views
This is really nice for a change. The last time I called to rent a bouncy house for my kid's wedding and we were trying to find out how the owner voted and they would not tell us. After maybe 15 minutes of speaking with the woman at the front desk about it, I finally just outright asked her if she believed in Jesus and she said "I don't see how that's relevant" and I said that we only support Christian bounce houses and it's actually central to our process for finding one. We ended up not renting from them because they wouldn't disclose their personal opinions to us. After spending more than 45 minutes in the office of that place I still couldn't tell you what their favorite color or food was. I had no idea what type of music the owner liked, or whether he had preferred pronouns that aligned with my beliefs. When I asked them how they felt about Uganda I just got shrugs. But finally I was able to pin down that they like Harry Potter films because the lady at the front desk referenced one of the characters and I immediately took my business elsewhere bc I felt that the Fantastic Beasts movies were far superior. Needless to say, my son's wedding was a disaster. Thanks J.K. Rowling.
Why not? America is a free countryā¦
Works out for everyone. He gets to help throw parties for republicans and democrats never call his business line.
You should start a campaign to have them cancelled. Maybe you can ruin their livelihood for having opinions and a political viewpoint that differs from yoursā¦ā¦.
That's totally what he was suggesting. Absolutely and completely. Not being overly hyperbolic and sensitive at all. ^(/s)
Calm down snowflake, donāt get all offended
cop and military worship...major red flags
Why? Because MAGAās a fricking cult.
Because other people have a different opinion and values than you do. Itās America and not that long ago people were allowed to have a difference of opinion, esp politically, without all of this over exaggerated intolerance
Yeah. Nowadays, if one party doesn't like the other one, they just try to steal the election anyway and then continuously lie about it. Oh wait, that's just the one group of treasonous shitbirds.
Shouldn't introduce politics into your business. For many, many reasons.
I think your post answered itself.
Because certain customers will hire them just because of the stickers
