It can happen. Remember how the Chick Fil-A boycott backfired in their faces and became, to this day, a BUYcott? Or how they tried to get Duck Dynasty pulled off the air, yet it still pulls in respectable ratings for a show that's been on the air for so long. How's Target's bottom line been lately?

Maybe Hampton Sydney should review what has happened to the U of Missouri since they backed down to the rioters of Black Lives Matter. Enrollment from freshman and transfers is down 1,500 this year. They are talking about a $35,000,000 budget shortfall. Would you let you child go to the UofMo? If I am paying for it? No. Well other parents who pay the bill are saying likewise. More and more tuition paying parents are going to view the college and the communist approach taken by the administration and say no. Then again they are all voting for Bernie and he will make college free.
