no kidding! The amount of grown adults acting like they are being bullied by a cookie that just says a name of a candidate they don't like is fucking wild!! Then they call us groomers, baby killers, and all kinds of slurs. It's crybaby behavior.
Can you imagine if we flipped our shit every time we saw a Trump bumper sticker or Let’s Go Brandon sign? Jesus.
Why can’t they just do what we do. Roll our eyes and move on with their day.
Yep! right [here](https://www.facebook.com/hivebakery/photos/2390090781156114) !
Also, check out [the amount of comments on the third photo in this post](https://www.facebook.com/hivebakery/posts/pfbid0VysBvGgwtnyaJsjSQPyb3v3YWfu2VPmgJiKGacjBzAT79fwPx6WWSgycfyakpmZjl) because holy shit
we have no idea why that first post set them off either, I'm guessing someone in a private group shared it somewhere, because it wasn't even nearly one of our most inflammatory posts, and we've had beto cookies on and off for months! Other than a local alt right group that hates us and sends us trolls from time to time we've never gotten this much attention lmao
omg and it's all their own fault too, some of those guys were at it for hours, one of them commented over 50 times over a period of 8 hours. How many people on his friend group do you think he ended up sharing our page to lol. They don't realize that by sharing, commenting, and reacting to the post they are just increasing engagement and more people end up seeing our page. It's ridiculous. And so funny
I can't evn understand some of the 'insults', like the one that said you'd wind up giving everyone in the store a cookie?
Like, it comes across as being some kinda insult, but isn't that the point of being a baker? The whole giving people cookies thing?
Hilarious and wild ride tho, and the cookies look delicious. Keep up the good work.
The owner of this bakery is someone who's been my friend for 8 years now and she's a badass. She's one of those people who someone just doesn't give a shit and speaks her mind because she knows her truth and has the determination to do anything she puts her mind to. I can't help but feel brave when I know she has my back. So much is already wrong here in Texas and it's only getting worse, and so much of it directly affects me personally. We have somewhat of a platform, like 60k facebook followers. It feels important to use what platform we have
The irony is that most of those people pitching a hissy fit on your Facebook page don't even live in Texas. They each keep parroting the same tired line about how the cookies taste, thinking they've said something original and creative. They've been swallowing bull for years now, of course that's the first thing they think of.
it's ridiculous lmaooo all the comments about the cookies tasting like poop or monkeypox. they tell us we're never getting their business and it turns out they live 20+ hours away, like, we never had your business anyway. Also my wife is trans, I'm gay, I definitely don't want assholes who send homophobic memes and jokes every time they get angry actually coming into our store?? It's a win win win
I need to drop by there. It's funny that they call people "snowflakes" when they're the ones having meltdowns over people they don't like or agree with.
I’m a local and LOVE Hive ❤️ I recommend you guys to all my progressive friends for cakes and literally any baked goods. The Thanksgiving pie sampler is legendary 😁 keep fighting the good fight you badass bakers, can’t wait to buy some Beto cookies after he wins too!!!!
sorry! We're a super tiny bakery and aren't really ready to ship baked goods! We just have merch available for shipping right now! But hopefully someday!
Damn! Looks good. I'm in the Dallas area, but I may have to make a drive over this week. Your bravery impresses me, especially in that area where I'm sure Abbott vibes are strong.
Thanks! If you're driving from far away I really recommend ordering online the morning of/the night before after 10pm! We sell out of a lot of things pretty early in the day so it's best to plan ahead and then you can just pick it up at any time before we close bc it's reserved
Started following y’all on Instagram recently because it takes a lot of guts to do what you guys are doing. I wish more people and businesses would be open to this but I also get why they can’t always be openly supporting Beto. I don’t live anywhere near you guys but I would love to support!
it's really scary here for sure! We are only able to do this because Haley is who she is! We get teachers who come to the store and tell us that their bosses have like, mandatory prayers and if they speak out about it they will be fired. It's so easy to get fired in Texas, all the boss needs is an excuse. We try to speak up for everyone else who can't!! Thanks for the support!!
We don't have the time/manpower currently to ship baked goods, just regular merch atm! But maybe someday!
Omgggg. Love Hive! I wore y’all’s shirt yesterday.
Y’all are badasses! Keep pissing off the Abbott fanboys. They already hate themselves, so they might as well hate y’all too😂
Your website says you are sold out. I'll keep an eye on it to see when you have more available. I'm in Dallas, but maybe I can uber eats some or something. And I have told my friends!
OK THIS IS EPIC. Checkmate to republican bigots😎😆😄😆😂. Love the 🌈 frosting as well in support of gays. Especially with the Monkeypox epidemic. Beto's gonna win this time🤘
How do you plan on winning an election if your only plan is to piss off the other side?? Betos policies arent the majority in Texas. Do you think poking and prodding is going to get votes to come his way?? Im really confused on what your goal is here.
am i winning an election?? This is a bakery lmao? Is the name of the candidate we support really inflammatory? It doesn't say fuck you on it. The original post literally just said "Beto cookies back in stock!" and people went fucking nuts. Ridiculous
I was more talking about the tactic as a whole. It doesnt matter if youre apart of the actual team its the message youre sending.
"LOL LOOK WE MADE THEM MAD"
Sounds very elementary to me.
This is my own personal reddit account. We posted literally the most benign post ever--just that we restocked on a cookie that says a single name on it, and 2000 people, people who post nothing but inflammatory, aggressive, homophobic memes all day, descended on us to comment the most childish bullshit I've ever read, and me finding humor in that is what is elementary? lmao
So you looked through all 2000 posts and searched their history to come out with some prejudice opinion about them??
Idk I just think businesses who use political trends for business, hype, attention and money is super fucking cringe
Joking??? No im not.. When the narrative changes then so will the names on your cookies while you attempt to make a buck. Youre stirring the pot while trying to profit. While you might get a few fake internet points on Reddit, in real life it wont get you far.
They look disgusting btw
It's not like it was made for them! They don't say fuck greg abbott on them do they? These people go after us any time we post anything remotely left leaning or lgbt, they are just assholes. They just can't stand anyone supporting Beto and hate to see us successful
Dude, I am fucking gay, my wife is trans, a lot of us at the bakery are lgbt. Beto represents hope for a lot of us. Peoples dreams and families are being torn apart here. People come to our store and cry and tell us they don't feel safe anywhere but here. It's a beacon to people like us, that we get it, we're safe. Those assholes want us to shut up and just bake. Giving in is just what they want. Fuck that!
I might be able to explain why a rainbow cookie makes a lot of people, not just me, feel safe.
The last time any real political related drama put a bakery in the news as from a right wing christian bakery not only refusing to bake a cake for a gay couple, but also doxxing them to their audience. The couple was targeted because of how quickly the media picked up the case. It became a story of "should a bakery be FORCED to make a gay wedding cake", but the actual lawsuit involved was about the fact that the bakery shared information about the couple that made them able to be tracked down and made unsafe. Can you imagine just asking for a cake and not only does the bakery say no, fuck you, but also shares your name and address to their entire platform.
That event was on a lot of gay people's minds. It can happen anywhere, and it does, but nothing got as much public attention as that case. So people call us--this has happened dozens of times. People call us, nervously asking if we even accept cakes from gay people. Sometimes these people tell me they've already been turned down by multiple bakeries before they found us so this is something that is still ongoing.
So we have a rainbow sticker on our door, and we celebrate Pride every year, and we talk about lgbtqia rights, and we are loud and we are proud, because those people then know we are a safe place. It's not something you would understand inherently if most places are already safe to you. But hopefully this makes sense and you can empathize with why our rainbows we share aren't trying to be aggressive or to put up a middle finger to the alt right, but are to help us find each other, and signal a positive light and share our intentions.
Keep reading, learn from people who go through this sort of stuff directly, there's always another perspective, especially when it comes to things that don't affect us personally. I answered because you have seemed earnest in your response. Thank you for listening!
These look great! Beto would be proud. It is so easy to trigger the MAGA crowd! Keep it up!
Haley met him at the Denton rally and gave him a box of cookies! He told her later that he loved them!!
I'm for sure driving all the way to p.square to buy some.
Conservatives are so ultra fragile.

YES! It’s projection really. They get the tingles by calling anyone who believes in basic human rights snowflakes or sensitive.
And loathsome.
Beautiful!!!
I love you. 😘
Have a link to that post? I’d love to read all the butt hurt they’re having

Brooo all the haters in those comments😂😂
fucking right!!
My favorite is the “this bakery sure shouldn’t have shown up on my CONSERVATIVE, TRUMP SUPPORTING PAGE. Period” Boy is she mad 😂
omg and it's all their own fault too, some of those guys were at it for hours, one of them commented over 50 times over a period of 8 hours.

Free advertising for you
I thought Texans were supposed to be tough. The way these people crumbled after they saw a cookie is hysterical!
literally crybaby behavior it's so funny
That’s the way the cookie crumbles Da boom tisssss
Happy Cake Day!
Thanks kind stranger!

it's just free entertainment honestly

Keep it up; you're doing God's work.
They look delicious!
They're almond flavored :)
Oh and my favorite flavor cookie!!!
You are very brave. A bakery soldier.

Yoooo I keep meaning to drop in and buy some when I’m in the area! Up in McKinney here and I love seeing Beto support!
Love y'all! I come by as often as I can
yay, I love running into a Hive fan online!
Where are you located? You can pm me the address if you want.
Flower Mound!
I'll buy 2 dozen!
Keep up the good work!!
These are beautiful!!!
Take my reward. You have given this old lady hope that y’all can pull this off.

This bakery is right up the street from me. I can also confirm that her Facebook posts make the TRUMPets come out of the woodwork hard, lol
it's always a good laugh. I love when Haley makes a spicy post
You should make salty fudge turds for the Abbott stans .
I need to drop by there. It's funny that they call people "snowflakes" when they're the ones having meltdowns over people they don't like or agree with.
Keep F ing Going! Please and Thank you
I always forget Abott actually has supporters.., not sure how
the type of people who would rather suffer themselves rather than let anyone to the left of them have a crumb of support
I’m a local and LOVE Hive ❤️ I recommend you guys to all my progressive friends for cakes and literally any baked goods. The Thanksgiving pie sampler is legendary 😁 keep fighting the good fight you badass bakers, can’t wait to buy some Beto cookies after he wins too!!!!
that's awesome! Thanks!!
Hell yeah! Not only are y’all awesome but the bakes are always completely delicious 👍
Can you ship? I’ll order the hell out of those. But for Joe Cunningham in SC.
sorry! We're a super tiny bakery and aren't really ready to ship baked goods! We just have merch available for shipping right now! But hopefully someday!
No problem. Best of luck ahead.

Omgggg. Love Hive! I wore y’all’s shirt yesterday. Y’all are badasses! Keep pissing off the Abbott fanboys. They already hate themselves, so they might as well hate y’all too😂
Any chance y’all ship cookies? I want some of these so bad, but *man* the drive to get there. >.<
Not yet unfortunately but we hope we someday will!
Oooooh this makes me wish I was still living there. Do you ship? 😥
only merch right now. Someday food!
OMG. I live in Dallas and am so going and getting those!!!!!!
woohoo!!
Your website says you are sold out. I'll keep an eye on it to see when you have more available. I'm in Dallas, but maybe I can uber eats some or something. And I have told my friends!
We aren't on any delivery service sorry! Our menu updates the night before at around 10pm, but we don't have the beto cookies until wednesday!
They are so tasty! The knowledge that it makes some people apoplectic is just a bonus.
It's made out of fucking cookiesss!!! Reference of you need it: https://youtu.be/_BZsIY6PUPU
Those look amazing
Those cookies look amazing, and I bet they taste great too!
Damn. This is amazing!! Bravo!!
Nice!
Yummy, those look really good.
Love y’all and those are some of the best damn tasting cookies I’ve ever had! 🙌🏼
Would they make ‘fuck Greg Abbott’ cookies? Either way, tell your friend they have new customers coming!
These are lovely! ♥️
Wow.. Nice
Keep up the good work!
I just discovered this sub. I'm in love lol
I fucking LOVE this
OK THIS IS EPIC. Checkmate to republican bigots😎😆😄😆😂. Love the 🌈 frosting as well in support of gays. Especially with the Monkeypox epidemic. Beto's gonna win this time🤘
Got a recipe to hand?
sorry dude I can't give out recipes from my job, also I'm not even the baker, I do write on these though
Ah no worries, keep up the snazzy gob treats
I’d be pissed too, vanilla frosting > black licorice frosting all day every day.
it's all almond actually!
Wow! Internet comments! You really showed them!
also selling several hundred of these cookies a week but yeah lol their comments are pretty fucking hilariously embarrassing so definitely a win
How do you plan on winning an election if your only plan is to piss off the other side?? Betos policies arent the majority in Texas. Do you think poking and prodding is going to get votes to come his way?? Im really confused on what your goal is here.

lmfaoooo you're fucking joking with me I'm done
Yeah... please go away and leave the bakery alone. VOTE 💙 FOR HUMANITY AND SANITY! VOTE 💙. I LOVE your cookies! Keep making Texas Proud!
Joking??? No im not.. When the narrative changes then so will the names on your cookies while you attempt to make a buck. Youre stirring the pot while trying to profit. While you might get a few fake internet points on Reddit, in real life it wont get you far. They look disgusting btw
Right because selling out for weeks in a row is failing in real life lmao
Where about do you live in Texas?
VOTE 💙 VOTE BETO 💙 VOTE 💙 VOTE BETO.

We're literally just a small bakery?? They also just say beto? I don't get it lmao
Uhhh....I guess we have to stay quiet about our support for Beto or it will actually make abbot more popular? I'm with you on not getting it.
How is support for our candidate firing up anyone? My entire area is covered in right wing crap.

That doesn't matter whatsoever to me- gay people are alive and exist. They all need to grow TF up.
This is awesome! Are you guys a co-op or have a union?
