A lot of excessive emotion and stupid coming from the right on this one. It is a restaurant chain!
1. Cultural icon-Cracker Barrel is not a cultural icon or a standard bearer for American culture or white culture or Southern culture. It is not essential to Christianity or as Boris would call them God botherers. They are a business that has a right to change and probably should.
2. The logo. I could give 2 shits about Uncle Hershel. He is not important to my life at all. Not essential to the corporate image either. While removing him from the logo was boring and unimaginative it was hardly woke. The woke approach would have been to replace him with a trans person or a ghetto black person. They did not do that.
Moronic in my opinion for those who have always loved eating there to stop just because the old fart was removed from the logo.
3. Changes-My personal opinion is that the restaurant and store needed a face lift. Same boring look for decades. Since much of the customer base has aged significantly it makes sense to try and appeal to younger people. How they do that matters of course you do not insult customers.
In short the way MAGA people responded to this was TDS in reverse and way over the top.
Using social media to pressure CB to go back on some of their changes and policies is fine.
