I don’t know if duplicating Amazon is a good thing. :) It really is challenging trying to find retailers that align with conservative beliefs. I’ve been giving my business to independent local businesses as much as I can, but this isn’t always possible. I dropped Amazon due to customer service issues — namely, their rep saying “ahahahah” in support chat when I explained the problem I was having.
I replaced them with Walmart, which was great. I got fast, free delivery which was actually free with no Prime subscription, and they have plenty of third-party sellers offering the harder to find, offbeat stuff I used to buy on Amazon. While it’s possible to buy from Walmart and avoid support of Chynah, after they came out in support of the Great Reset, I left them too on ideological grounds.
Since then, when I “need” something I can’t get elsewhere, I’ve been following George Carlin’s advice: “drop some of your needs”. Would still be nice if there was a MAGA retailer out there.
The giants that are in power will not let a company like this survive. A new 'conservative" retailer will never get the massive USPS discount that subsidized Amazon's growth either. Just look at my pillow, they are trying to obliterate that guy. Even Newsmax is in on it now.
To do this I think we have to go back to our roots. Start making things locally and eliminate useless bullshit. Build a community that buys and sells, or better yet trades so the IRS doesn't get a piece.

Agreed.
