I just sent this email to #TractorSupply. I am not expecting a response.
If you are a customer of theirs, especially (but not exclusively) if you are rural, I am generally happy to help you find alternatives if you wish to take your business elsewhere.
To others who are worried about those of us who are upset by Tractor Supply's Company Statement—
If you can't offer material help, then consider calling the company to tell them that good neighbors and community supporters don't talk about LGBTQI+ acceptance and BIPOC inclusion as mistakes. The phone number is 877-718-6750.
Once on the number selection menu, the selections might be 7 for "other" then 9 for a customer service representative. Of course, a wait time is probable.

@hrefna They are so stupid. This would probably have been a flash in the pan. The alt right grifters would have moved on to the next thing, the "boycott" by the people who fall for that nonsense would likely have been about as successful as the conservative ones against Starbucks have been, and it would have blown over in a week. Now they've ensured they've lost business permanently from customers like yourself who care enough to actually do stuff, not just mouth off and then forget about it.
Oh boy that's sad 😔 They seemed to be shining examples of inclusion for years and then they buckle to pressure from two shitty acounts on Twitter and a bunch of bots in a space of three weeks.
