"We have a lot of opportunities. We're growing. We're building in a lot of places, but when you find a conservative, business-friendly state with a phenomenal workforce, it makes a difference," Aplin said in a video shared by Huckabee Sanders on social media. "And I'm starting to realize life's too short to try to build in places that people don't appreciate what you're bringing versus a place like this, where people do appreciate what you're building."

"So that leadership, that concept, that idea of conservative, business-friendly, family-oriented concept works so much better if it trickles down from the very leadership," Aplin said. "From the very top at the governor's office, at the congressman, at the senator, at the mayor (and) the representatives."

    Buc-ee's is the closest thing I've seen to a protestant cathedral.

    Buc-ee's is an American thing being done Americanly by Americans. Don't put this evil on anyone or anything else.

    Most of the things that make American culture so fucked up are just the consequences of Protestantism going unchecked. Buc-ee's is the culmination of that four-century project. When the empire falls, protestants will go on wasteland pilgrimages to different Buc-ee's locations for souvenirs and absolution.

    You know we all knew this, right? Like, it was implied and there was tacit acceptance of this by everyone but now that you’ve said this out loud a significant amount of potential customers are going to find it gauche and lame? It used to be the big hog amusement theme park where we could see the zoo animals in their natural habitat and you’ve just taken the fun out of it.

    The capitalist class everyone.

    Imagine a gas station

    You have successfully pictured a Bucc-ee's

    It's a massive gas station. Buc-ee's are known for having 80-120 gas pumps per gas station.

    A Buc-ee’s employee summarized the practical reality in a Reddit thread about the store’s scale: the location genuinely has more than enough business to justify even its largest 120-pump configurations during peak periods. Despite the sheer number of pumps, it can still feel like a challenge to snag an open one during the busiest weekend travel windows — which tells you just how much traffic these flagship locations actually pull in.

    But the store bit is like this strange fever dream hybrid of a convenience store, dollar store with a bizarre selection of products, and a hot serve buffet.

    I wish I was making this up.

    There’s this giant fucking bowl in California full of agriculture you can see from space and it’s worked by Mexican immigrants and some of that shit is the hardest, backbreaking work you can conceivably do. There’s a bajillion pickup trucks all over it, too.

    But that’s not a red state and they aren’t white, so even though it has a fuckton of white chud landowners it’s ignored by their fellow red state chuds whenever they want to gloat about how they are Real Americans on the Twitter from the Buccees parking lot

    I was gonna make a shitpost last week that the 2nd Civil War here in amerikkka will be fought between the full treatlerite nazi states who have Buc-ees as the new confederacy and the states without Buc-ees as the resistance

    this no longer feels like a joke, feels like I have my hands on the lathe and have accidentally cursed us into the worst timeline

    would be funny if some state with a fuckees swung away for whatever reason and then he had to make somekind of milquetoast statement which enraged the chuds and drove some committed right wing crank to start boycotting fuckees for "going woke".

    There's a sign by the highway where I live, i forget the exact number but it says something like "Buc-ee's - 493 Miles"

    like who the fuck is gonna drive by that sign and be like "hey kids, just about eight and a half more hours of driving and we'll get to stop at the gas station with a T shirt rack!"

    (also it's right by a Pilot J and a Maverick both of which have all of the same shit that Buc-ee's has this is a big truckers pass through area)

    So I'm guessing it's a "We can save a lot of money due to worse labor laws and huge amounts of corruption in those states" being framed as blind loyalty towards the party.

    Ooooooh, so that’s why it’s glazed. The CEO has all the cool popular opinions.

    No one actually likes chud stuff, they just like that it’s made by oversocialized universally beloved normies.
