Go woke, go broke. That phrase couldn't ring any more accurate than it does now.
Conservatives on the forefront of the battle in boycotting companies that push the Left's pride propaganda are winning as woke companies see a massive downfall in sales.
Since Target rolled out its "all-inclusive" line of "tuck-friendly" swimwear and t-shirts that promote gender identity targeting children, the company's stock price dropped 14 percent— falling for the ninth day in a row.
When consumers discovered that Target was also selling items with satanic designs, JPMorgan analysts downgraded the company's stock and lowered their 12-month price target.
Additionally, Anheuser-Busch has lost $27 billion since its stunt with transgender influence Dylan Mulvaney.
The nationwide boycott has caused the beer to suffer a detrimental sales loss, a decline of more than 20 percent since its controversial partnership with Mulvaney.
Target and Bud Light aren't the only ones facing criticism for promoting a radical agenda.
Kohls is also taking heat for rolling out pride-themed merchandise, specifically for babies and children.
According to Kohl's website, the retailer sells onesies that include cartoons of people walking together with one group member holding up the progressive pride flag. As of this week, the company's stock is down by over five percent.
Republicans have been critical of the Left's push to indoctrinate children through its LGBTQ propaganda— and this data reveals that Americans are waking up and fighting back against it. In the past, companies have been accused of "rainbow-washing"— using Pride logos and promotions to boost their sales during June and adhere to the far Left.
However, this year is different.
Companies who "celebrate" the progressive movement are facing damaging results to their reputation—losing longtime devoted customers. Republican leaders have put the spotlight on companies that are working to indoctrinate children by introducing them to sexually explicit things through clothing.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla) has condemned and fought against the push to normalize the transgender movement, banning gender-affirming care and sex-hormone medication for minors.
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) also blasted Democrats for bowing down to the LGBTQ community, specifically aiming for Disney for "its disturbing effort to push the radical left's toxic woke agenda on our country's most vulnerable, our young children."
Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) said, "Far-Left radicals are working to infiltrate and control every corner of our lives."
I was curious about Target - and decided to check it out the other day as I was going to a nearby business.
Place was empty and is usually very crowded at that time of day. LOTS of things on sale and clearance. Tempted b/c I love sales and clearance.
Walked out b/c they’re not going to get a dime of my hard-earned $$ - I’m still fuming over the bathroom fiasco a few years ago.
I'm loving it!
At some point, the threats of the ESG investors and financiers will pale in comparison to the loss at the till.
Stick to it!
Target died to me when they banned personal self defense, then provided none.
Today, shcools are shut down if there’s a piece of brass lying in the street.
I have to give a lot of credit for the success of the Bud Light and Target boycotts to Matt Walsh. He’s done yeoman’s work exposing the evil of the “trans” movement. And months ago, he was pushing the idea that the right could push back against the Trans agenda with strategic, targeted boycotts. He was saying something along the lines of “We can’t boycott all these woke companies, but let’s pick out 1 or 2 and try it.” That turned out to be a winning strategy.
THE TIDE IS TURNING?
Not sure if you intended it or not, but “The Tides Foundation” is a left wing group that funds all sorts of craziness. Lots of money from Teresa Heinz, wife of John Kerry. But I’m just glad there is no conflict of interest. /s
Real conservative Republican leaders are taking action....like DeSantis.
It is too bad the candidate leading in the GOP primary polls is giving aid and comfort to the LGBTQ+ crowd by hosting big parties at Mar-a-Lago and defending Disney/Anheuser-Busch because they donate a lot of money to GOP candidates.
A few victories against tranny wokeness.
Any victories against companies who donate to BLM, or hire for diversity, or hold anti-white seminars about "white supremacy"?
For the left, it's always two steps forward, one step back. They always overreach, lose a bit of ground, but never never retreat to their initial starting point.
Longterm, the left always makes progress. Conservatives always embrace the leftism of ten years ago.
Ten years from now, conservatives will be saying, "Democrats are the real transphobes."
Yes, we are finally able to use the boycott effectively!
Lefties used to do it all the time.
Now is our turn!
I H.A.T.E with a burning white passion.... H.A.T.E ... Kohls stores. Just hate them. Never liked their gimmicks with Kohl dollars. Stores are just weird.
Did I mention I hate Kohls.??? Can’t boycott them because I already HATE them.
Target died to me when they allowed men in the girls’ bathrooms. Haven’t been in one since.
What’s interesting about this is that when my girls were little, back in the 1990’s, they loved anything rainbow-ish.
Certainly not because of any sexual connotation, but because it was bright and colorful.
There is an entire list of companies to destroy. Ab, target, amazon, gillette, kohls, burger king, google...just to name a few.
“Conservatives Are Winning In the Boycott Against Woke Companies”
Wrong AMERICANS are winning in the boycott against woke companies.
The left is trying to dismiss the boycotts as the actions of Right wing extremists to embarrass the zombies in the middle that think not talking about “politics” makes politics go away. The left wants these people to “stand up” for American values of freedom to force others to bow to satan. Americans are not buying it.
>Walked out b/c they’re not going to get a dime of my hard-earned $$<
You missed a fine opportunity. You should have visited the Pride Section...right near the Kids Section. Load up a cart with as many Pride items as possible. Go to the checkout counter and agree to take every extended warranty that is offered. When told the total due, tell them you forgot your wallet and walk out.
Make idiocy hurt.
