Media Matters think it worked with BOR

It didn't, BOR was just too toxic for FOX to keep him around anymore

Why do these guys keep boycotting stuff?

because leftards are emotionalists and it makes them feel good about themselves inside. If it feels good it must be right.

IIRC, Target took a hit for a few months from ex-customers upset about its “choose your own bathroom” policy. Quite a few of us on FR talked about not shopping there. Their profits, and their stock were affected, but it seems to have been temporary.

Liberal boycotts rarely have any effect. Conservative boycotts are far less frequent and we must actually buy stuff. Target is a good example.

I personally don’t buy from CITGO. Dick’s Sporting Goods is also on my list.

I think my ongoing boycott of Target has worked really well.

General Mills, too.

JC Penney tanked after it tried the “appeal to homosexuals” thing.

Boycotts work when it’s a retailer boycotting their customers, like Dick’s sporting goods, Gander outdoors,...etc.

Both boycotts and buycotts, when done by conservatives/Christians/patriots, have shown much greater rates of success than boycotts by leftists, pagans, and their ilk.

A boycott may not bankrupt a company or make them completely change, but it will hurt them.

As I said before, liberal boycotts usually fail because liberals don’t really have skin in the game.

They will never boycott Whole Foods because they actually shop there. They will announce a boycott of Cabela’s because liberals never actually go there so the boycott is without teeth.

Conservatives choose to no longer use the services of some companies, like Target. It’s not loud and proud, just financial.

The grocery store a half mile away is managed by a company that is rabidly anti 2nd Amendment. The Exec VP said he didn’t want the business of gun owners. We used to spend several hundred dollars a month there. Not anymore. We drive three miles to WalMart and Aldi

I boycotted HP products for more than 10 years and never bought one.

I also boycotted the NFL and never watched the Super Bowl. Who said boycotts never work?

I think a boycott helped the demise of Builders Emporium in California. They came out with some anti-gun statement and word of that spread. The one time I went in after that, it was me and 15 floor people. They are long gone.

I predict our boycott of Dick’s Sporting Goods is going to be wildly successful.
