Culture War - Woke / DIE / CRT / ESG

Exactly. "White privilege"? "Patriarchy"? Right after the election, Joy Reid blamed white women for voting to maintain the patriarchy. Kamala Harris mocked Donald Trump for wanting to debate in his "safe space," Fox News. The Biden-Harris administration did try to make "Latinx" a thing but eventually gave up.
So I can believe the poll. There's real life, and then there's the bubble in which journalists and politicians live. Put academics in there as well and see what percentage use "woke" terminology.

Everbloom Design, a Memphis floral studio, has been closed down temporarily after owner Kristin Wolter announced in a video that they would not serve any Trump supporters whatsoever. This announcement was met with heavy backlash as Wolter's video became viral, prompting calls to boycott the business. Wolter has expressed contempt for Trump and his supporters in the past. "I won't do business with people who support the president-elect," Wolter shared in the studio's now private Instagram account. "It is because I need to create a safe place for me, my staff, and my family." She soon encountered criticism and backlash for her remarks and refusal to serve Trump supporters. Wolter has been very vocal about her opinion about Donald Trump and his supporters in the past. "Half the country has chosen racism, bigotry, sexism, and lack of compassion and decency," she wrote about the 2020 elections. "The momma bear in me is angry. Because ultimately you put them in danger. You put the lives of women in danger."Many users on social media expressed their disdain for Wolter's statements. "Talk about sabotaging your own business," wrote a user on X. "Fine with me. We boycott businesses and products we don't like as well," another user said. "That's her choice. It's our choice too." A third user stated: "When they go out of business, they only have themselves to blame."

And the other half voted for Trump.
Unfortunately, the Marxists controlled the votes.
I wonder how she feels about that baker in Colorado who keeps getting sued for refusing to bake a wedding cake to that nutball attorney.
How long has that been going on? He's got more patience than I would have had. There might have been long-range hole punchers involved at some point.

It is amazing how many really stupid people there are in our country.
Some of them are wising up, but others love to listen to lies and swear their side is the truth.
Kamala's campaign was a lie from the time they crapped on Biden until she lost without ever answering a legitimate question.
But to say that a man should drop out of the race because he is mentally ill and then leave him to run the country until his time is up is the ultimate sign that morons belong to the Democrat party. Their leadership has been mind fuking them for years and they love it.
Excuse the F word, but I don't have a really better term for what the Democrats have been doing to people who listen to them.

Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes: Business Receives Backlash After Refusing to Serve Trump Supporters
Everbloom Design, a Memphis flower shop, announced they will no longer do business with any Trump supporters.
"I won't do business with people who support the president-elect and it is because I need to create a safe space for me, my staff and my family," owner Kristin Wolter declared.
Wolter said she was stunned and triggered by the election results.
"I could not believe my community chose financial concerns and economy over human rights and decency."
The good news is there are plenty of flower shops in Memphis that do not discriminate based on political orientation.
But truth be told -- Trump voters don't buy too many pansies.

The Wall Street Journal ran a very satisfying story yesterday headlined, “Walmart Rolls Back DEI Programs.” The sub-headline added, “Retail giant will wind down Center for Racial Equity and prevent sellers from listing some LGBTQ-themed items on its website.” It’s not just Walmart. Walmart swings massive momentum as the world’s largest retailer, dictating preferred terms to a vast root system of suppliers and manufacturers. Could the nation’s long DEI nightmare officially be over? Has the tide, at long last, finally turned?
A now-familiar name appeared in the Journal’s article: conservative filmmaker and anti-DEI activist Robby Starbuck. Robby tweeted about how the Walmart turnaround went down. He contacted Walmart management and told them he planned to run a story on their DEI programs. Walmart management asked for an emergency meeting with Robby, and when they met, Walmart reviewed a long list of planned DEI rollbacks.
The changes ran the gamut from simple to profound. The retailer promised to discontinue using the DEI acronym and its words. It will ashcan the cringe term “LatinX.” It will stop racial equity training for its employees. It will remove some super-gross, non-kid-friendly LGBT products from its web-based ‘marketplace.’ Most importantly, Walmart will end its preferred-suppliers program, which gave advantages to suppliers pushing DEI on their employees.
As the world’s largest retailer, Walmart enjoys vast powers to dictate terms to manufacturers, shippers, and supply-chain distributors. If Walmart says smaller businesses must DEI to do business, they’ll DEI. If Walmart creates DEI incentives, the incentives will be persuasive and pervasive.
But in similar fashion, if Walmart ends DEI incentives, then the calculus flips, and any suppliers bearing the additional burden of DEI will become less competitive for lucrative Walmart contracts.
Illustrating the power of a single committed conservative activist, Robby Starbuck has now been involved in deleting DEI from corporate policies at: Tractor Supply, John Deere, Harley Davidson, Polaris, Indian Motorcycle, Lowe’s, Ford, Coors, Stanley Black & Decker, Jack Daniels, DeWalt tools, Craftsman, Caterpillar, Boeing, Toyota and now WALMART.
Robby Starbuck is a one-man DEI wrecking ball.
Unofficial Mini-Multiplier: Support Robby Starbuck with any affordable amount ending in $2, to encourage him to keep turning the DEI tide. C&C Army: Take thirty seconds right now and reconnoiter Robby’s donation site, to boost his morale, deliver supplies, and signal for him to redouble his efforts and run DEI all the way to ground. You’ll feel great after, I promise.

BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard sued by GOP states over ESG goals
BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard have been sued by Texas and 10 other Republican-led states, which said the large asset managers violated antitrust law through climate activism that resulted in reduced coal production and boosted energy prices.
Wednesday’s complaint filed in the federal court in Tyler, Texas, is among the highest profile lawsuits targeting efforts to promote environmental, social and governance goals, or ESG.
The defendants were accused of exploiting their market power and involvement in climate advocacy groups to pressure coal companies to slash output and reduce carbon emissions from coal by more than 50% by 2030, driving up consumers’ utility bills.
“Competitive markets — not the dictates of far-flung asset managers — should determine the price Americans pay for electricity,” the states said in the complaint.
Larry Fink’s BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard together have more than $26 trillion of assets under management.
None of the companies immediately responded to requests for comment.
