why the hell does a coffee company want to align itself with firearm users? There are so many different coffee-consuming customer bases they could pander to, and they want to go for the 'aard maan crowd
Whenever a company makes their whole image about something that has nothing to do with their actual business model, I immediately doubt the quality of their product or service. Especially if that image comes with an overtly political agenda. If their thing is something I like or care about, I’ll consider the possibility that their quality might, maybe, be decent, but this particular company is one where I intend to let my assumption stand untested.
I said to my kids the first time Trump was voted in that there is the market of suckers that will but any garbage so long as you Mega market it. My kids are good people so didn’t take advantage of that but we have seen so, so many businesses that have popped up, not just Trump family stuff, to take advantage. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t moral and ethical. The grift is so easy against 25% of the population in (every?) country.
Feels before reals. They buy it bacase “Black Rifle”. It could taste like shit. They pour a cup and, “This stuff tastes like shit lol.” and they’d keep buying it because Black Rifle pisses off the libs, it has a gun on it, and the makers are making the brainwashed snowflakes feel manly for having Manly Gun Label Coffee.
Right, and my very strong suspicion is they also really insinuated themselves into the lives of US military people. Whether aggressive marketing, or lots of “respect the troops/thank a veteran” style pandering and t-shirts and hoodies and all that shit, or a combination of all that, they definitely feel like a Nine Line Medevac level of cynicism company. It’s been years but I bet at least one of these companies has fully-transparently fascist apparel for sale right now. Fascism really seems to make for such easy business, at least to the right customers, sadly.
I always remember one particular dude who appeared to have gone ‘full hooah’ I guess you could say, as military and exercise and, idk, gear seemed nearly his whole identity, and he was basically hawking this ridiculous coffee. It was a perfect fit (if contrived, maybe even on both sides).

There’s a MAGAt brand for a lot of things. It’s one of the ways you know the whole damn thing is a grift.

That and the very obvious, extremely transparent fucking astronomical grift happening before our eyes.

When virtue signaling is your advertising, you don’t have to think real hard.
Illlusion no coffee is “strong” enough so insert man thing + advertising to vets and repubs
you don’t need a wide customer base if they are devoted enough

that’s true. Might as well make money from the morons who consistently block any form of political progress
