Coke got woke, and now they’re gonna go broke.
I don’t know why these companies literally can’t stop themselves from jumping into social and political issues. It’s like, you make fizzy sugar water, shut up.
But much like sports and Hollywood, these progressive corporate commies just can’t stop themselves from giving their unsolicited two cents.
Everyone’s a friggen activist nowadays.
And it’s not like going “woke” is this super-profitable gig for most companies and sports franchises. Hollywood is quite literally circling the drain as we speak – there are more people in my living room right now than actual viewers who watch their narcissistic awards shows, and the ratings for sports are on their second flush as well.
So, getting all SJW and political isn’t a smart gig when the vast majority of the country is sitting back looking at this circus unfold and thinking everyone involved has some type of personality disorder or emotional imbalance.
Even so, companies like Coke and Apple, and about a bazillion others, decided to chime in on the new voter integrity laws in Georgia…A bunch of soft drink executives, who didn’t read the bill, hop on the wave of outrage in order to score some quick progressive brownie points, not realizing the wave won’t last – it’s gonna hit the shore and crash within days, and they’ll be left standing there with a brand that’s destroyed and customers who are pissed.

TO LATE, drink Pepsi or RC cola!!!!
Don’t drink any soda. It’s a big reason for all the disgusting slobs in our country.
Drop the fast food as well.
I don’t know why these companies literally can’t stop themselves from jumping into social and political issues.

Social Justice Warriors first infiltrate and establish themselves in Human Resources.
Then they start hiring more of their own and waging campaigns of destruction against everyone in their area of influence that isn’t them.
Try local craft beverages from a small business or make homemade sweet tea (that's what I have been doing for a long time.)
Too late. I’m not taking this scorpion across the river on my back again.
A few more embarrassments like this and these companies will wash their hands of politics and get rid of the SJW in management and HR.
I will take the Ara See Cola and a moon pie!
I agree.
A place where I worked had their VP of Diversity of an appropriate gender and race who also served on the national board for La Raza.
Ugh.
Good Lord, what a God-awful blog. Thinks keep popping up right and left. And the whole blog is cut and pasted from other sources. Here, just read it right here.
And I don’t want to hera about folks’ cyber condoms that let you swim in cyber-sewage. Just don’t swim in cyber-sewage!

So, getting all SJW and political isn’t a smart gig when the vast majority of the country is sitting back looking at this circus unfold and thinking everyone involved has some type of personality disorder or emotional imbalance.
Even so, companies like Coke and Apple, and about a bazillion others, decided to chime in on the new voter integrity laws in Georgia…A bunch of soft drink executives, who didn’t read the bill, hop on the wave of outrage in order to score some quick progressive brownie points, not realizing the wave won’t last – it’s gonna hit the shore and crash within days, and they’ll be left standing there with a brand that’s destroyed and customers who are pissed.
And that’s exactly where Coke is right now. They’re on the shore sinking in the wet sand because they didn’t realize that 75+million Americans want their voice and their vote to matter, and a vast majority of ALL Americans want voter ID, including blacks.
Now what, Coke?
Well, now the back-peddling begins.
Suddenly “loud and proud” woke Coke is much mellower – kind of like a glass of soda that’s lost its fizz – and now they’re offering up a much more “conciliatory” tone about voting.
In other words, they caved to the tremendous backlash from conservatives after President Trump called on his supporters to boycott the soda company and all the woke corps who butted into something that was none of their business.
If you’ll recall, when this all started Coke CEO James Quincey put out a very strong statement – he sounded like a full-blown Dem activist, for crying out loud.
“We want to be crystal clear and state unambiguously that we are disappointed in the outcome of the Georgia voting legislation.”
Crystal clear…he wasn’t mincing words, and he capped that off by going on CNBC, where he called the law “unacceptable” and a “step backward.”
Well, James didn’t leave much wiggle room for interpretation. He was quite clear on where he stood and it was with the communist Dems and their rigged elections.
But that tone has changed. A lot.
Here’s what Coke just said to Washington Examiner in a statement about voting rights:
“We believe the best way to make progress now is for everyone to come together to listen, respectfully share concerns and collaborate on a path forward. We remain open to productive conversations with advocacy groups and lawmakers who may have differing views,” the company said. “It’s time to find common ground. In the end, we all want the same thing – free and fair elections, the cornerstone of our democracy.”
Clearly, this is a far cry from the tone they had just a couple of weeks ago – a far, far cry. They’re waving the white flag.
I guess the silent majority, got loud and Coke had to listen.
But the bigger question still remains: why on earth is a soft drink company discussing voting at all? Why do we now have to contend with corporations who know literally nothing about laws, voting, or local politics, pop off constantly about things that do not concern them.
This virtue signaling and pandering for progressive accolades from a small minority of very loud-mouth people is stomach-turning.

We didn’t elect coke, and they’re not registered as a SuperPac for Dems (yet), so why are they even involved in this?
Shut up, and make your carbonated corn syrup drink, and allow the people we elected and who represent us to deal with these issues.
None of us need a can of cruddy Coke determining our future.

“...your carbonated corn syrup drink...”
I don’t want anymore Corn Syrup nor Corn based E10 gasoline.
Bring on pure gasoline and Mexican cane sugar soft drinks [but not Coke anymore].
Exactly. Fast food and sugary food are much more likely to be the cause of health care disparities than “structural racism”. Unless you’re talking about the structures that house McDonalds, Taco Bells and Coca Cola Bottlers etc.
Coca Cola is probably just deflecting (and projecting) their own guilty conscious.
Never Coke.
Never, ever, ever again.
Permanent.
He’s right-pepsi sucks-bigtime! Besides, nothing goes better with Jim Beam than RC!
These companies are giving in to an update of the ole Jessie Jackson ‘Shakedown’.
They pay ‘protection’ money and think they will be spared.
They are being intimidated by a ‘gang’ of thugs.
Too late, Coke and company. I just got back from my local mom-and-pop Mexican place with a two-liter bottle of homemade horchata. Give me a week, I won’t even know what a Coke tastes like. :)
Coca-Cola is hiding the truth:
<><> soda sales have been declining for years, due to health-conscious consumers,
<><> this virtue signaling nonsense is a consequence of those declining sales, not the cause,
<><> they are desperately grasping at anything to try to offset their decline.
Brands go woke because they’re going broke!

“Get woke, go broke”, is a conservative meme about the cost of political correctness that has it the wrong way around. Brands don’t go broke because they get woke, they go woke because they’re going broke, and don’t know how to stop the slow but steady collapse of their business.
