You do remember how mad red states got when they lost their slaves? Where I went to school they were still quite annoyed by the war of Northern Aggression. For me, it felt as if the Civil War never ended.

Even Trump supporters, with a little help, can figure out when their cost of living increases. Of course they will blame Biden, but Trump can't avoid all the heat.

If our democracy falls to corruption, crony capitalism & authoritarianism, history will cite one culprit: the Roberts Court. It's gutted our constitutional defenses—legalizing bribery, boosting dark money, crippling civil rights & privacy, & greenlighting runaway executive power. Thanks, #SCOTUS.

I have two questions. Since the logo change was designed to appeal to a younger audience, (1) Does the director think they even know what a cracker barrel is? (2) Am I the only one who finds the new logo lacking appeal?
Blue Doggy (@bluedoggy.bsky.social) reply parent
I researched why Cracker Barrel changed its logo. They want to appeal to a younger clientele who may not "get" or identify with the country vibe of the old logo. Personally, I find the new logo so non-descript as to be boring as hell. Not sure they are going achieve what they are aiming for.
