SO WHAT FAST FOOD WILL RIGHTIES EAT NOW TO SIGNAL WINGNUT WOKENESS?

Uh-oh ... Chick-fil-A did something conservatively incorrect.

Did Chick-Fil-A bend the knee to the mob?https://t.co/glNgfZxplb

The linked article, from National Review, says that Chick-fil-A "has stopped donations to several Christian organizations." But Christian isn't the point, as this story from the real estate news site Bisnow makes clear:

Beginning next year, Chick-fil-A will move away from its current philanthropic structure, Bisnow has learned. After donating to more than 300 charitable organizations this year, the Atlanta-based fast-food chain will instead focus on three initiatives with one accompanying charity each: education, homelessness and hunger.

“There’s no question we know that, as we go into new markets, we need to be clear about who we are,” Chick-fil-A President and Chief Operating Officer Tim Tassopoulos said in an interview with Bisnow. “There are lots of articles and newscasts about Chick-fil-A, and we thought we needed to be clear about our message.”

The new initiative will no longer include donating to organizations like the Salvation Army, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Paul Anderson Youth Home, Chick-fil-A says, all of which sparked criticism in the past from the LGBT community due to the organizations’ stances on homosexuality.

The story tells us that this is happening "as Chick-fil-A expands globally and into more liberal parts of the U.S. ... The company is ... months from opening its first location in Boston, where the late Mayor Thomas Menino pledged to ban the company from opening within city limits after Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy voiced his opposition to gay marriage in 2012."

A neighborhood news site in Manhattan recently reported that "“guys with Chick fil A file folders [were] scoping out" a location on Manhattan's famously liberal Upper West Side. (Donald Trump won less than 19% of the vote in this congressional district.) There are gayer neighborhoods -- Chelsea, the West Village -- and I'd be surprised if Chick-fil-A will try to open any stores in either of those locations. But if an Upper West Side store works, then Chick-fil-A would seem to be well on its way to erasing its current reputation. (I can report that a Chick-fil-A location in the West Fifties on E0i0ghth Avenue is already drawing a lot of office workers.)

If right-wingers react to Chick-fil-A's retreat from wingnut wokeness by no longer using the chain's chicken sandwiches to engage in conservative virtue signaling, what fast food will they use as a replacement? It might be tough to find a substitute. When GOP legislators bum-rushed the first phase of impeachment hearings in the House secure facility, they ate some Chick-fil-A...

Colorado GOP Rep. Doug Lamborn just showed up at the SCIF sit-in with a bag full of Chick-fil-a sandwiches. “I’m on a relief mission” he told reporters.

... but mostly they ate pizza from We, the Pizza, a restaurant run by former Top Chef contestant Spike Mendelsohn -- which was also the source of the pizza ordered by Democrats for their 2016 gun control sit-in on the House floor.

Both parties ordered from the same pizza place? Really? Was there no Papa John's nearby? Well, I'm sure the food at We, the Pizza is a lot better. Virtue-signaling can be exhausting at times. Especially if you're hungry.
