yeah a lot of these companies that were once conservative turned liberal- J.c Penney I believe started off ultra conservative- The owner was a Christian I believe-
I don’t forsee places like hobby lobby turning anytime soon though- But i think what might happen is the original owners retire, kids take over, then their kids, or some relatives- and perhaps some of them are liberal, and take the companies in directions the original owners never intended
I suggest another reason. A small dedicated faction of prgressives actively seek to place people in the key PR departments of large corporations. They have been doing this for decades. They network with each other, play musical chairs to fill an empty spot.
Conservatives/libertarians never apply for the PR, HR and other positions that influence the direction of the company. We apply for sales and technical positions.
