There is no way people are that passionate about graphic design. All the debate about the logo has to do with conservatives declaring Cracker Barrel was going woke and getting angry about it and turning it into yet another front for their culture war.

Cracker Barrel is a mediocre chain people associate with the term “American.” That being said, this isn’t changing the Statue of Liberty. It’s a corporate logo change. People took this personally because virtually everything is part of the culture war now.

The dislike for the new logo was one of the very rare things that people on both sides in the US seemed to agree on...

If you’re going to open your comment with that I have no desire to read what follows.

Doesn't matter. Republican politicans and influencers (if separating the two still makes any sense) framed it as an attack by the "woke" and "radical left" on these fabled american values.

Maybe so, but that was just rhetorical lying that had no basis in actual reality.

		Yes? Doesn't make it any better. I think it makes it even worse, in fact.

		Not maybe so, it is what’s happening. Whether their stance reflects reality or not is not (is it ever with these people?) the point - they’re using it to stir the pot as usual.

Republican politicians and influencers frame everything as an "attack" by the "woke" and "radical left". It makes for a great preemptive distraction when they're actually responsible for most of those things. Bland gray/beige color schemes get decided in board rooms full of uninspiring executive-class types who can't think of anything but trying to cargo cult their way into making the Line go up.
