Is that stylized extension of the letter ‘k’ in the logo, which goes on to completely encircle the words, representing a whip?

I had never noticed it before, but a DUer mentioned it and posted previous CB logos where the "whip" is even more apparent.

And "cracker" can refer to a whip. It could have been an intentional subliminal message. Marketing is full of subtle subliminal messages behind the obvious ones.

Anyway it's gone now and MAGAT are losing their minds over it.

At the same time that the rump regime is trying to destroy history at the Smithsonian and elsewhere, MAGAt clowns go absolutely berserk over a change in a corporate logo.

They believe that their way is the only correct way.

Thats why they want to limit who can vote. They don't want liberals, minorities, or anybody but themselves to vote because they believe they're right and we're all wrong. America must be protected from us!

They're authoritarian. They don't want democracy. When they talk about freedom it's freedom from anybody else's opinions and laws.

Until recently they had a common enemy - the woke liberals - that allowed them to feel that they were part of a club where everybody shared the same beliefs and values. The election of Trump this time changed that.

Suddenly they're being owned by their own side.

If they melt into puddles of goo over a perceived slight to their ‘culture/heritage’, how will they react when shit gets real? How about an existential threat? And then I remember Jonestown…

On the right side

I don't see how connecting the R and K is a whip. But then, I can't see The orange pos as a president

And many liberals are in MAGA country, and rely on places like Target as much as their MAGA neighbors. I'm sure it wasn't your intension, but much of this post struck me as classist.

I live in the south and I'm tired of MAGATs. I do feel superior to them. I think they're dumb. And mean.

They're trying to destroy our democracy and right now, they're winning. I'm tired of being nice.

I'm turning to ridicule.

I too have majority MAGA(t) family... I am SICK of them all. And have significantly distanced myself from them. I see no need to add to my anxiety and my extreme disappointment in them. I do not need hateful people in my life. I wish them the best and want them to leave me alone. I'd rather be with myself... than close to their illness

In a few months Trump has destroyed most of what I spent my life working for - public health, access to health care, healthcare discoveries and innovations.

I feel grief. I feel anger. What I don't feel is tolerance for evil dumb people.

we were all gonna get screwed royal if Trump and the Republican Party, including House, senate USSC had their way. AND we all recognized that if they corrupted the elections, that the MAGAot Voters were also gonna get screwed royal, and thrown under the bus as THEY outgrew their usefulness.............

Now listen to them all scream like little pigs at slaughter, now that they are all getting screwed also................And all of those MAGAot Voters are still listening to the Republican Propaganda and still swallowing it hook line and sinker......LOL.......it's all being caused by Obama, Hillary, Biden etc etc etc......

We all need to quit saying "TRUMP" and start using the term "REPUBLICANS", because it is the Republican Party and Republican Politicians that corruptly put him in power and more importantly, have kept him there............Driven by the Top 1% uber wealthy, and corporations.............
The Republican Party now has: THE BEST POLITICIANS THAT MONEY CAN BUY...............

The Citizens United laid the groundwork for the future......UNITED CORPORATIONS OF AMERICA to be installed.............and Replace the
United States of America........

I have often said, that the streetwalkers on E. Colfax here in Denver, have higher morals and standards than any Republican Politicians, and especially all these Republican Women surrounding Trump.......
The difference being, that the streetwalkers on E. Colfax have things they WILL NOT DO, for ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY.......

is the absolute ignorance of the Republican House members, the Republican Senators and the Republican Supreme Court justices.........

They too are all gonna get thrown under the bus. They are so stupid, that they fail to realize that there is no need for a Legislative or Judicial Branch in a tyranny government..........

entire life. Nearly 69 years. I've always felt that way. They suck!

And the majority of that from Brazil.?

I don't know if OJ escaped the Brazil 50% tariffs or not but food processors can't eat the cost of that.
Florida's OJ business is in the bumper, diseases and hurricanes have hurt them bad.

I haven't been keeping up with the trade changes that globalization brought about. Who knows where anything comes from anymore? I usually check the stickers on the fresh fruits and vegies to see what country I eating.

Has severely curtailed that states orange crop. I think their producing as much oranges and grapefruit as they were in the 1990s

Who really knows with TACO spewing garbage hourly?

Thanks for posting that link. Some of the European settlers in Florida were known as crackers. That term then got extended to refer to southern white people in general.

I have a rose bush in my yard that is known as "the cracker rose" because it thrives in the south.

There's also the term cracker for the tip of a whip, which brings up a lot of dark inferences.

And there's the old timey reference to cracker barrels.

It's possible the old CB logo was playing with a number of those references. Who knows.

What's interesting to me is that MAGAT decided to have a meltdown about a company changing their logo.

The inability to think critically is partially a product of a lack of expansive thought as much as it is a symptom.

The brain presents as stunted and useless like a limb without circulation becomes numb and useless.

The smallest thing that challenges their established rigidity and habitual familiarity is perceived as a personal attack.

All because of the inability to see things differently.

😂 What the heck is even “woke” about changing a logo?

As for Cracker Barrel, I never thought they were anything special. My wife prepares better tasting meals.

There were also tons of wild cattle roaming Florida that enterprising individuals could round up and herd to cattle boats in Tampa and places south for export to the Caribbean.

Of course they used whips they cracked to get the animals in line along with dogs. Florida always had decedents of these large, bulldog like animals and they are some very rough, tough dogs hunters have kept going to use on the ridiculous amount of wild hogs present since the Spanish w of course, additions from escaped farm animals.

In a move that left marketing analysts, diners, and flapjack enthusiasts equally stunned, Cracker Barrel unveiled what it calls its “freshest brand refresh yet.

Gone are the quaint country vibes and rocking chairs, in their place, a vintage-style logo featuring none other than President Joe Biden himself, leaning casually on a barrel and declaring:

“I’ll have pancakes, coffee, and the Epstein Files.”

this as among the most ridiculous of outrage reactions.
It's as if they have ran out of other stuff to be pissed about, but we know that's not the case. That's why this one is making absolutely no sense to me. It's a restaurant logo. Is that how they pick an eating establishment?

I think they've hit peak outrage or something.

I could kind of understand their annual outrage at Starbucks for not having enough of a Christmas theme on their holiday cups. I mean it was silly but it kind of made sense. Sort of.

Turning on Cracker Barrel for being "woke" because the company is simplifying a logo is so absurd I had to pause and talk about it.

They are wired differently and are definitely stuck in a bad place. It's like a radio with only one clear station and static everywhere else.

A lot of MAGATS have gone so far down the rabbit hole they are incapable of higher brain function now.

Companies change their logos all the time. I don't see anything wrong with the change, certainly nothing political.

makes no sense and has no political undertones that I can detect.
Maybe this is where they have their meetings and they are afraid their members won't be able to find the place now?
I really an perplexed over this one. There appears to be no foundation for the outrage other than "all change is bad" or some such thing.

Rallying cry and operating principleof the conservatives.

It seems they are in conspiracy theory mode all the time now and they are seeing conspiracies everywhere.

"If any company changes anything it must be woke." Personally, I would guess that "woke" was the last thing on Cracker Barrel's mind when they decided on the change.

I find it more interesting that this is not the only context in which we are discussing whips and beatings today. They keep coming up on posts about Dobson.

They don't care about the child abuse, just how are they going to cover it up for the Dark Prince.

His Secretary of Labor actually said that the "34 million able-bodied people (kicked off) Medicaid" can pick our crops.

The statement is both stupid and cruel. But MAGAT cheered.

Stupidity is contagious with the maga.

Who want to cut burdensome regulations and red tape for business want to bury individuals under mountains of it.

because they thought they were owning the libs by doing that .

By the way we made it all the way to Wiki

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/MAGAt😀

IIRC, "Cracker" was a derogatory term for bigoted whites in the Jim Crow South.

Why do you ask?

If I had pulled it from somewhere else I would have included a link. And I don't bother with AI. I can write poorly all on my own.

Thank you for posting it.

...it's "go fash, lose cash!".

for over a decade, but I hear from others that the quality of the food has declined. We have too many independent places around here that can serve up a good biscuit with gravy without having to go to a chain.

“When MAGA punches down they punch themselves in the face.”

I think what you mean to say is when MAGA punches down they punch themselves in the balls.

I would normally say let them hurt themselves, but they’re hurting the rest of us too.
