Exactly. Few care if Target sells rainbow clothing. And even fewer care enough to avoid Target. Most of those appear to be members of C-D where outrage over everything not white, straight and Christian is the order of the day. The rest of the world gives no *****.
I mean it's not like the entire purpose of retail is to make as much money as possible in order to pay the high overheads and shareholders.
Perhaps the new retail philosophy is to annoy a significant amount of customers, make a lot less money and watch the company head for bankruptcy, at a time when the retail market place is already struggling.
I am proud to say that, in a microscopic way, I actually contributed to that.
I am a former Target shopper who has gradually decreased my visits there over the past three years to "only in an 'emergency'", but I have not set foot in a Target store for three months now and don't intend to do so ever again -- even though choices in my sparsely populated area are very limited, and I have been boycotting WalMart for years. So now I will spend up to twice as much for a household item in my local independently-owned little market rather than go to WM or Target -- but it is is worth it to me to spend a few extra dollars here and there rather than support those two chains.
At first I wondered why there was "only" about a 5% slip, but then I realize that other conservatives have probably also been decreasing their visits for Target for years, just like I have.
I've been keeping watch of their stock to see how it does. I love that they've had a loss and I hope they go out of business. It will send a huge message. I refuse to go to Target anymore and so far I've kept my word. I have not purchased a Coke product since Coke went WOKE also.
I've also read where even now McDonalds has taken any ESG messaging off their website. They don't want any part of it. So these companies losing money because of WOKE messaging is good news. Boycotting these companies seem to be working and discouraging other companies. I'd say it's a win.
We don't set fires and shoot people and throw rocks like the left. We fight with our pocket books.
Skittles is next to learn their lesson.
It amuses me when I see the DEI acronym (diversity, equity, inclusion) respelled as DIE.
I do believe in diversity and inclusion and equality, but I definitely do not believe in unearned and undeserved equity.
Better a month of rainbow stuff than endless months of Christmas crap. Pretty soon stores will force Christmas decorations on us all year. 12 months of gaudy Chinese made junk. No thank you.
Don’t care about seeing Xmas stuff all year but better to see that than perv month paraphernalia.

Target would have to beat puppies before I’d ever go to Walmart. Coke would have to do the same before I’d ever drink a Pepsi. I have zero clues what egregious infraction Skittles committed, but I fully intend to continue to Taste the Rainbow.
I too vote with my pocket book and I ignore the BS that is the bogey man “wokeness”. It’s a meaningless term used to scare the gullible.

I do care. Christmas is forced down our throats for too many months of the year.
