In what is almost an unbelievable turn of events, even for this horrible year of 2020, the official Twitter account for WalMart just outright attacked GOP Senator Josh Hawley today.
After Senator Hawley became the first GOP senator to make it known that he will object to the January 6 certification of the Electoral vote, WalMart weighed in with a response that reads “Go ahead. Get your 2-hour debate. #soreloser”.

That a major corporation would weigh in on a political issue with a partisan political response is no surprise. We see that happening all the time.
The surprise here is that the partisan political response comes not from some Big Tech firm, but from WalMart, a retail chain of mega-stores that appeal largely to America’s lower middle class shoppers, a very large chunk of which makes up a very large chunk of the support base of Donald J. Trump.
WalMart’s decision to take this hyper-partisan stance on this crucial issue now gives Trump supporters a prime opportunity to extract some accountability from this major retailer by engaging in a simple boycott. While boycotts on media outlets like CNN and MSNBC are completely ineffective, given that such media outlets don’t want to attract conservative viewers and only serve as loss-leaders for their giant corporate umbrellas, a boycott of a profit-motivated retailer such as WalMart by 75 million Americans would likely be extremely effective.
Making Wal-Mart an even more prime target for such a boycott is the fact that it is a company that sources roughly 70-80% of its products not from U.S. suppliers, but from China:

So, all you Trump supporters, listen up: If you currently include WalMart or Sam’s Clubs among your regular shopping routine, the time has come to cross it off your list. You have never been handed a more prime opportunity to extract a little accountability from any major corporation.
Just do it.
That is all.
Nah. He just crossed a line and this lie is how they will avoid firing him. Of course, if it had been a tweet in support of Trump, they’d make it clear he is no longer working there as well.
OK thanks.
They’re off the list!
BS. Definitely not by mistake.
They have done so but the effect is still the same and the poster, if they were fired for a policy violation, will be glad to have reached so many. It would’ve been worth it to any leftist. Just like they want enemies lists of Trump supporters while telling us how divisive we were.
I go to Aldi, but it’s unacceptable to FR because it’s owned by Eurocrats.
Somebody needs to publish an OK list, and then I’ll tell them why all those have been suggested for boycott on FR at one time or another.
The petty, senseless immaturity of America’s corporations is a bizarre turn of events.
See post 9.
I just called Walmart customer service.

Imagine a corporation making a pejorative tweet about an elected senator.
Yes
China Mart is what I call them
Almost all of Walmart’s computer systems are run by Indian citizens living in the US.
The Walmart stereotypes are true for most of their stores, but the one I shop at is in a _very_ upscale suburb—and the clientele is mostly virtue-signaling leftists who just like saving money....and will deny shopping there if questioned by their friends!
and now are happy complying incognito with masks.
This is the third article bashing WalMart I have seen this month, and I have not been here much. This is a propaganda campaign to eliminate Amazon's only remaining competitors.

Nothing new. Twenty years ago same same.
Yep, and FWIW, I've been handing out $20 tips to certain individuals at my local Meijer.....Specifically, the special needs employees who are typically bringing in the carts from the cold and snow in the parking lots........
Instead of boycotting the job creators, how about rewarding the employees who are working for them.........
