Sad to say there will likely be enough restaurant owners who will self-flagellate over this and offer to turn over whatever they have to placate their guilty consciences when there's no reason to do so.
Sure, there's no limit of self-loathing assholes out there to squeeze for gibs and endless fealty, but there's no reason for any of that squeeze to come from the target/victim shop owner. "Oh that monster fag hater! I'm GLAD he moved! Now there's BETTER coffee here anyway!" Great attitude for that "community" to have, unfounded in reality or reason (they have no idea whether the "replacement" coffee shop owner is a "better ally" or is just nodding his head in agreement while quietly charging them 5-6% more for the same product (or a worse one), sourced from shittier ingredients or a nastier vendor from somewhere else in the world where they throw faggots off rooftops, because it lowers his own costs).
The point remains, the community diminishes itself when it chases business owners like this. The existing shop had demonstrated enough competence to have enough business to attract the attention of pressure-wielding faggots enough in turn to attract the grifting senator. That means he had a salable (and presumably decent) product, sold at prices the local market found acceptable, and had worked out a great variety of important, subtle, business-and-location-specific details, like how many people to hire, how much to pay them, what business hours to operate, what specific products to offer, which options/variations to offer, what music to play, what time of day to expect supply deliveries (if you're getting a resupply during an evening rush, that could get in the way pretty hard and disrupt things unless you're prepared for it), which vendors to do business with (locally and remotely), what local businesses to partner with, who to aggressively compete against vs. who can be safely ignored, all sorts of practical knowledge. Presumably it worked well (as the community embraced the shop well enough to keep it in business with their patronage) enough until the rainbow brigade grifter arrived to disrupt things.
Now with that owner driven out and the shop closed down, all that knowledge goes with him. Maybe it's not a big deal and the new guy who buys up the same property (on discount, owing to a bummed out seller eager to move on) will figure out most of the old details. Or maybe he won't. Maybe he'll assume municipal tap water is adequate for all purposes (including the coffee) because the previous owner liquidated the kitchen equipment separately and didn't mention he used osmosis filtration on any water destined for a food product and now the new guy will have trouble getting rid of that "fishy" aftertaste all his drinks seem to have. Maybe he'll assume the nearest dairy farm is an adequate supplier for fresh cream and milk (since the old guy also "sourced locally") only to discover that no, the farm 100 miles further away uses a far better process for packaging and transporting milk, cream and butter products, and so the taste in the end products is much different. "Same shop, new management!" gets hype going for maybe a week or two. "Eh, it looks the same but the coffee isn't nearly as good" is a fucking death sentence for a popular local coffee shop though.
That's just two examples of how the same literal coffee beans, machines and even personnel can produce very different end products, solely based on ancillary ingredients and the way they're transported to the shop. Do any of the faggot "baristas" who "fought" for flags know these details? Why would they have been told? Would they have ever been asked to replace a filter module or otherwise service a shop-wide water filtration system? Would they have ever been asked to go drive 100 miles out of town on an "emergency run" for a few gallons of milk or heavy cream or a dozen pounds of butter? Hell no, they're just running the til and making coffee. Only the loser capitalist White man deals with the "industry." Would the new owner even consider hiring them in the first place, since they were involved in a "fight for colors," i.e. engaged in active insubordination against their employer to achieve a political end? If he
was that stupid, would he even think to ask them about these details? Would they tell him? After all, maybe the old owner's alleged "bigotry" also covered the local farm too, so maybe he was wrong about that more-distant one being better too.
Literally anything good (including good will) the original owner of that "conquered" coffee shop brought to his community has been thrown out with an imagined "bad." The departing owner has a proven recipe for a successful business and can replicate it practically anywhere he goes. Preferably he'll go somewhere with fewer faggots (or at least somewhere not within Senator Faggot's reach) and apply his knowledge and experience again to have a more successful run. Surely there's operational details he could do better from the start now that he's solved them in an existing location.
And maybe he's a touch more careful about who he hires, how the store gets decorated, and how chatty and openly-welcoming he is to local and regional politicians. So the "entrepreneurial spirit" isn't squashed, the knowledge isn't lost and the energy carries on with its owner to a new community hopefully more deserving. Meanwhile the original one is left with (likely) shittier coffee and lots of fag flags. Maybe that's all they care about, but even if that's the case, they're still choking down worse coffee.
for the mostly thankless job you do.
