They won’t change. They’ll swallow what they’ve done with a smile while they close stores and lay off Americans who had no control over that decision.

Ford tried crap something like this years ago- not the bathroom stuff, but supporting homosexual causes- and people boycotted them severely enough that they eventually stopped supporting the cause- J.C Penney began supporting soem homosexual cause too, and people boycotted them too, and in a short time they stopped because it affected their business to much- But this was back when America was more moral and would not put up with such deviancy by any business- I’m not sure enough moral Americans remain to affect businesses today- but it’s at least worth a try-

You are so right. Look at Jack Dorsey and Twitter.

I read a trollish diatribe on another site yesterday asserting that corporations only operate out of a pure profit motive, and are thus politically neutral - and labeling as stupid anyone who ascribed a leftist motivation to a corporation.

How does one address such arrogant ignorance? Setting aside that corporations are legally persons (hence, corporation, meaning embodied), and that persons are complex and flawed, the examples refuting that ostensible troll are abundant:

Twitter? Facebook? Mozilla? Solyndra? Google? Microsoft? Apple? The entire Hollywood industry? Everywhere one looks, corporations are siding with the radical leftist vision of a minority against either a much greater minority or an emphatic majority, and, significantly, often damaging their so-called bottom line in the process.

Hollywood alone proves this: Wholesome, Christian movies are consistently monetary winners, while decadent, avant garde films are usually monetary losers - yet they balk at making the former, and eagerly make the latter.
Leftists have denounced God, and have made a god in their own image: Leftism is a de facto religion, and its true believers will follow it to their and our mutual destruction - no matter how much they may also love profit.

I understand your reticence (below) to sign the petition, but I plan to do so.

No, they won't.

But if Target goes under, so be it.
