To each their own. Boycotts are a personal decision. I keep it simple for myself. Can I live with myself giving money to an entity that holds views contrary to my own? Second to that is, how important is that to me?
I haven’t step foot in a Target since the bathroom boycott. That boycott works for me. I have other personal boycotts that were never a national boycott. I have boycotted K-Mart after they made a bid deal about no longer selling firearms and being vehemently anti 2a. I boycott Buffalo Wild Wings because they do not allow concealed carry in their restaurants. I boycott Walmart for their fascist response to COVID and the desire to never see fat ugly women wearing lime green polyester pants that cling to the ripples of their cellulite.
There’s plenty more beyond that. But to be honest, they are not boycotts. It’s just a decision to shop elsewhere.
I’m absolutely fine with private boycotts. I just unsubscribed from Fox Nation emails, a small thing but when I deny them one more potential customer, makes me feel good.
My point about Target is that the national conservative boycott had no effect whatsoever. No one got fired, the policy didn’t change, and their financial performance was even better than before.
Man, after that description of green polyester cellulite I may boycott Walmart myself!
