Four potent signs that conservatives are winning the fight against woke corporate power
American Thinker ^ | 07/07/2023 | Thomas Lifson

The strategy of the American Marxists seeking to impose a cultural revolution has been top-down, derived from the work of Antonio Gramsci, taking control of the “commanding heights” of institutional power and imposing their vision on what old style Marxists called “the masses.” So long as the great unwashed remained passive, oblivious to what was happening, it was highly successful.

But something happened to disrupt this stealthy plan. First, Donald Trump won the presidency, teaching the much-derided non-elites that they had more power than the ruling class believed possible. Even though Trump was denied a second term through means both fair and foul, the panic remained and translated into parallel efforts to persecute him through the fully-controlled DOJ and FBI, assisted by their media helpers, and a rush to enact the rest of their agenda before a more substantial mass blowback could take form.

But this second track, the rush to transform the most basic building blocks of our culture, the family and the sexual mores that maintain it, appears to be a bridge too far, especially the attempt to impose as normal the transsexual agenda. The reaction to Bud Light aligning with transsexual Dylan Mulvaney has evidently scared a lot of the fellow travelers occupying key posts in corporate America.  A multibillion dollar decline in the market capitalization of a major corporation is the financial equivalent of Samuel Johnson’s immortal aphorism:   

“Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.”

It is too late for Alissa Heinersheid, no longer the VP of marketing for Bud Light, but her counterparts at Target, which also suffered a multibillion dollar loss in market cap after blatantly pushing apparel aimed at physically enabling transsexuality among young children,

The plan was always to push as far as they could get, then back off for a little while after they had expanded the Overton Window.

They’ll be back.

The culture war is not the kind of conflict where you can win it and it’s over. It’s like breaking up an ant mound. If you don’t kill all the ants, they just move elsewhere and rebuild. So, Budweiser, Target and others may stop, for the moment, pushing their ESG/DEI agenda. That’s the ant mound. But the people inside the companies will shift to doing something else. Remember, their goal is to destroy everything about Western civilization. That’s the economy, children’s ability to reproduce as adults, education, jobs, gasoline, oil, gas stoves, wood stoves...the number and variety of targets is infinite.

RE: They’ll be back.

It’s a War and THEY STARTED IT. Conservatives have only won a few battles. They have to be throughly defeated if this moral plague is to be gotten rid of.

Leftism is like cancer, the best you can do is to put it into remission.

".....are winning...." is misleading. There are no victories in sight for conservatives. Fat cross dressing fags are exempt from any physical standards in the army. Unprecedented corruption in the White House. Ditto Congress.

We have no borders and third world mongrels, enemies of civilization and the USA, are swarming across our borders and arming themselves once they get here.

We're borrowing and printing money at unheard of levels. Etc. Etc.

Yet conservatives want to placate themselves by switching what brand of beer they use to medicate themselves?

Insanity and stupidity. We're not winning. Rome is burning and nobody cares.

We're winning??

Just finished "pride" month.

SCOTUS "legalized" homo "marriage" in 2015.

Every anti-sodomy law has been struck down.

Homosexuals are still featured in commercials, tv shows, movies, etc.

Every Fortune 500 company has a DIE office.

Schools have DIE cirriculums.

The military has been indoctrinated with DIE and wokism.

Mentally confused men pretending to be women can participate in women's sports.

Tell me again how we're winning.

A ratchet that turns only leftward.
