The Battle of the Cracker Barrel Logo, as it will be known by future social media historians, was about as lopsided a defeat for wokism as we have seen in recent memory. The ink had barely dried on the ugly new design before America rose up and denounced how the restaurant was erasing everything that everyone had loved about the place. Within a weekend, the company announced that it was reverting to the old logo featuring beloved Uncle Herschel.
But the battle was never really about a logo. That was just a public-facing symptom of the rot that was taking hold within the company. DEI hiring, support of 'pride events' for children, and sterilizing the restaurant's interior were all woke practices the restaurant had embraced. While the logo fight may have been a skirmish, the war for the soul of Cracker Barrel rages on.
But don't tell that to fake conservative NYT columnist David French. He's convinced that the logo was just an opportunity for MAGA to 'bully' America. Because in French's broken brain, everything is about MAGA.
... MAGA will have only itself to blame.
The inversion is quite obvious, of course. Wokeness and cultural Marxism ARE the bullies, and America is standing up to them.
But French is nothing if not a victim.
Unfortunately for him, he cited Chris Rufo in his column, and that was a BIG mistake. Rufo saw the article and proceeded to nuke French from orbit for his intentional gaslighting and disingenuousness.
French has been inside his protected leftist bubble for so long, there is a real chance that he doesn't know it, but Rufo is spot on here.
Starbuck also noted this, citing all of the web pages the company also tried to 'rebrand' on its website.
And he also exposed the company's woke leadership and 'pride' sponsorships.
Ironically, French obviously scoured the Twitter accounts of Rufo and Starbuck to write his column, but oddly, he missed all of these references to what the fight was really about.
He KNOWS it's about a lot more than a logo, but he can't say it out loud because the left owns him.
Rufo blasted him a second time for good measure.
And then the pile-on began.
LOL. 'Ms. French.'
That post ends with, '... Many Americans see what's going on.'
And Steele is correct. EVERYONE blasted Cracker Barrel when it announced the rebrand. But French sees everything in terms of MAGA.
French also hilariously tried to draw a contrast with Sidney Sweeney in his column, claiming that only a few minor people on the left complained about her American Eagle jeans ad.
Meanwhile, in the real world, NBC News called the ad white supremacy, and ABC News called it 'Nazi-coded.'
He would probably not be so miserable all the time if he would just come out and admit that he's a leftist now, and stop trying to pretend he's something he's not.
He's certainly not the person he was less than a decade ago, when he harangued Target for allowing men into the ladies' room.
Today, French would organize a boycott of any place that didn't demand that 'trans women' get to expose themselves to little girls in the bathroom.
Constant outrage is French's entire raison d'être.
Well, that and lecturing conservatives about how disappointed he is in them.
As usual, The Babylon Bee summed up French better than anyone.
HA.
Perfect. The Bee never misses.
As for David French, sure, no one ever believes anything he says anymore, but at least with his latest column, he knows that he'll still keep getting invitations to those liberal cocktail parties he loves so much.
