Very Strange: I used to go to Bike week in Daytona, and every year I would buy Harley beer. I think it was Pabst Blue Ribbon,: anyway it wasn't fit to drink, I bought it because it was the cheapest souvenir you could buy from Harley in Daytona. After about ten years or so they stopped making it and selling it in Daytona because they didn't want the people to think they were encouraging drinking.. They also stopped making clothing and other things with a Confederate flag on them. I still have a few things. probably collectors items now. So : They didn't turn woke yesterday, but it is strange that now they go back to selling Harley Beer, because it helps another company that went woke? Or did they receive something else.?
By the way i had all of my Daytona beer on a shelf and the PBR ate a hole in the cans and it leaked down the wall. I tossed it all out.

It doesn't seem like it's being "forced" to me:

I wish I shared your optimism, shipmate.
Yesterday, CNN ran an even more encouraging story headlined, “Harley-Davidson is dropping diversity initiatives after right-wing anti-DEI campaign.” It’s been a tough summer for woke termites infesting historically red corporations. First Tractor Supply and now this.
Harley Davidson was sad, just like Leslye Headland. “We are saddened by the negativity on social media over the last few weeks, designed to divide the Harley-Davidson community,” the company wrote in its mea culpa posted on Twitter/X.
The motorbike company growled, “we have not operated a DEI function since April 2024, and we do not have a DEI function today. We do not have hiring quotas and we no longer have supplier diversity spend goals.” The classic American brand promised to focus only on motorcycles and to avoid getting involved in other shiny, distracting virtue signals, like its now-defunct relationship with the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ+ activist group.
One person created change. Influencer and conservative filmmaker Robby Starbuck went to war with Harley Davidson at the beginning of July. “It’s time to expose Harley Davidson,” Starbuck’s July 23rd post said. He listed twenty examples of how the company has “gone totally woke.” Such as Harley-Davidson’s ‘bootcamp’ for LGBTQ entrepreneurs, its donations to the United Way, and its public promise to increase employee diversity.
Just this year, Starbuck also successfully challenged Tractor Supply and John Deere, causing them both to publicly repent and ditch DEI. It’s a story of how just one persistent person can push back the battle lines in the culture war. I’m not saying Starbuck is like homemaker Phyllis Schlafly, who single-handedly derailed the awful 1972 Equal Rights Amendment, but it’s encouragingly similar.
Progress! Keep pushing.
