Many of Walmart’s employees in small towns surrounded by rural areas are conservatives. They’re simply stuck in those jobs for now.
This will give you a peek into what happened with Walmart and what has happened all over the U.S.A.
Alice Walton

Political contributions
“Alice Walton was the 20th-largest individual contributor to 527 committees in the U.S. presidential election 2004, donating US$2.6 million to the conservative Progress for America group.[27] As of January 2012, Walton had contributed $200,000 to Restore Our Future, the super PAC associated with Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign.[28] Despite hailing from a largely Republican family, Alice donated $353,400 to the Hillary Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee supporting Clinton and other Democrats, in 2016.[29]
Personal life
Walton married a prominent Louisiana investment banker in 1974 at age 24, but they were divorced 2½ years later. According to Forbes, she married “the contractor who built her swimming pool” soon after, “but they, too, divorced quickly”.[9][30][31]
Walton has been involved in multiple automobile accidents, one of them fatal. She lost control of a rented Jeep during a 1983 Thanksgiving family reunion near Acapulco and plunged into a ravine, shattering her leg. She was airlifted out of Mexico and underwent more than two dozen surgeries; she suffers lingering pain from her injuries.[6][32] In April 1989, she struck and killed 50 year-old Oleta Hardin, who had stepped onto a road in Fayetteville, Arkansas.[31] Witnesses stated that Walton was speeding at the time, but no charges were filed.[32] In 1998, she hit a gas meter while driving under the influence of alcohol. She paid a $925 fine.[31][33]”
I was talking one of these videos, sorry about the YT link.
Seems YT changed their search. More “official CCP nonsense” search results. Regular results seem buried.
I live in Bentonville and the walmart thing is a bit different. Yes, they are a-holes at every level but they still employ the entire NW Arkansas area with jobs. There are other companies as well: Tyson, JB Hunt, Simmons Chicken, and a few others. Mostly in food production. It’s a good area for honest work.
All of these companies treat people like dirt though. They all need to go. I’ve often said this: All businesses today need to be shut down and replaced by new people who haven’t been turned into money-hungry a-holes.
So Alice. Lets talk about Alice for a moment.
This woman is Hunter Biden in female form. She has been caught, by locals, with some very strange dealings in China - Mostly in banking. Not sure if you know this but Arvest is a bank started by Walmart. Banking rules and regulation are nil here because the Waltons control Arkansas. As the single biggest reason Arkansans aren’t eating each other they often get very special treatment around here. Everyone acknowledges that they can do whatever they want.
And they are a STRANGE bunch. Like to build things underground. It’s creepy but I’m also jealous.
Sam was a good guy. Even drove the same truck his whole life (It’s on display downtown and people still drive it). But make no mistake - his empire was built with the go-ahead and massive investment of the CCP, Norinco and built with slave labor provided by domestic Chinese labor and imported North Korean slave labor.
In the 20s we marched to defeat this. 100 years later we are marching to support it. And that’s everyone, left and right.
But yeah, The Walton family are major issues but for me to shop at Walmart in NW Arkansas is a different dynamic than anyone else. We support local grocers whenever possible but supporting Walmart here is supporting the local area.
And yes, lots of Indians here. The TATA consultancy firm is a bigger building than Walmart. They provide all the labor force for their I.T. at a fraction of of the cost.
