Leftism is a suicide cult in general

It’s amazing that these people don’t seem to care that they are losing viewers. They would rather force their ideology on everyone and lose millions of viewers than stop politicizing everything. I remember when ESPN was actually a sports network. Haven’t watched it in years.

I don’t think these brands are committing suicide at all. I suspect they already know they are doomed for other reasons, and they’re trying to make highly public political statements on the way out.

Good point: You can come out as Transgender and be celebrated by these Left wing organizations. If you come out as a conservative, you will be fired.

In sum - anyone who has money or works for a living voted for Trump.

Don’t piss them off

Excellent questions posed here.

Why are some major companies willing to hurt their business, just to prove that they have bent over backwards to prove that they are liberal???

Why do they feel the need to take sides in social/political questions in the first place?

Are they afraid of being targeted by the liberal fascist elements in our culture??

But then look at Chick Fil A, which was targeted by the left because their founder has the audacity to believe that marriage is a man and a woman. Chick Fil A has actually seen their business increase after being targeted for destruction by the left.

So Chick Fil A has proven that you can survive and prosper being targeted by the left.

So are these major media and entertianment companies really afraid of being targeted by the left? Really?? If so, what consequences do they fear???

You’d think there would be shareholder lawsuits brought against these CEO’s for neglecting their fiduciary responsibilities.. but conservatives just sit there and take the abuse.

I can see the ads now:

Do you Hate America? Do you hate everything America stands for?
Then come join us at the MGM Grand, we HATE America too.

They are run by Humanist Progressives. They believe that they can force humans to become “better” through social coercion and government regulations. Their reward is that the “better” humans will be more compliant and cooperative citizens who will labor for third world wages and standard of living.

These are zealots. Don’t try to find logic in their thinking.

My suspicion is that it is one of two things:

1.) They are run by liberals who think that any pulpit available should be used as a bully pulpit to advance liberal causes.

2.) They are run by people who are terrified of being called bad names such as racist, homophobic, misogynist, bigoted, you name it, and virtue signal with both hands like this guy below to avoid having the Rainbow Coalition, BLM, or some other group call them any of these things.

Because the class of people who are typically CEO’s don’t care about the bottom line of the businesses they pretend to run, they care about how their peers view them.

They would rather shed customers than appear to be doublebadthink by having Trump supporters like them. Look at Camping World. My neighbor works for a camper sales group that just got bought out by Camping World. After the CEO’s statements, he is worried about the local branch straying open.

They think they can do without their Advertisers money and Americans. They want to subsist upon illegal aliens and foreign money like Hillary Clinton.

When I reduced my cable bill recently, the sales person said to me “But you won’t be getting any sports channels.” I said “Precisely.” There was dead silence at that point.

Why? Because they have been ordered to do so, or else. You see, the Left is so so close to the tipping point of America becoming their delusional socialist tyranny they are pulling out all the stops to drag us to the point of no return.

Trump is the only thing stopping them from a complete takeover of the country. All the leaders of the big corporations are compromised.

It’s a purely rational act on the part of the CEOs.

If they do not hue the radiclib party line, they risk multiple lawsuits, bad media, continuous protests and perhaps workplace/casino violence, and they would be fired and blacklisted for demonstrating bigotry and hate.

If the company hemorrhages customers over hueing the party line, however, their own salaries will not suffer, and if the company bottom line goes downhill, at worst they retire with a golden parachute and at best they continue at or near their salaries until the company goes out of business.

If I were a CEO and my main concern were my own personal financial situation, the choice would be very easy to make.
