Me. I’m a doubter.

I have severe doubts that anything negative will happen to Target.

1) This was not a new Target policy. The policy permitting transsexuals in Target bathrooms and changing rooms was years old. This latest public statement was, in fact, a restatement in response to questions that arose because of bathroom laws. If there was going to be a rash of rapes it would have happened years ago when the policy first changed.

No rapes = no lawsuits

2) Any boycott would need many millions more signatures collected much faster than this to make a global company like Target sit up and take notice.

3) The people most likely to sign this boycott are probably least likely to be in Target’s shopping demographic.

4) I don’t see a jury punishing an attempt to be inclusive with millions much less billions. You might want to wipe your chin.

I do not: The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Psalms 9:17)

But meanwhile even if there is little pronounced effect of the boycott you certainly cannot (not that you necessarily are) criticize those who choose to boycott Target. History certainly would be critical of those who refused to boycott Nazi Germany based on the rationale that it would have little to no impact. Meanwhile the Left certainly believes in the efficacy of boycotts.
