Boycott boomerang: Genius Dems start to realize Georgia boycott will cost them votes in the Peach State
American Thinker ^ | 04/05/2021 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 04/05/2021 7:51:55 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Democrats thought they had a brilliant plan to force Georgia to permit widespread voting fraud by getting their woke pals in corporate America to bully the state into repealing its brand-new voting integrity law that mandates voter ID and other common-sense measures. Two Atlanta-based corporate giants, Coca-Cola and Delta Airlines, denounced Georgia’s new voting integrity bill, and Major League Baseball announced it was moving the All-Star Game away from Atlanta.

Oops!

Guess who gets hurt in the estimated $100 million impact from the loss of the MLB showcase. That would be the little guys who work at hotels and restaurants, who are vendors at the game, and who work in other service industries. The local Dem pols realized this quickly. Last Friday, Laura Ingraham reported:

[T]he blowback against this is growing, which forced even liberal Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff to put out a statement last night saying, "I absolutely oppose and reject any notion of boycotting Georgia." But then he said that look, corporations that are disgusted, like we are with this voter suppression bill, should stop any financial support for the Georgia Republican Party.

Stacey Abrams, who claimed that she was cheated out of victory in the governor’s race (this was back when it was permitted to question an election result, an activity that now is regarded as destructive of democracy now that almost half the country thinks Joe Biden’s election to the presidency was based on voter fraud) wants to have it both ways. She put pout a video on March 31 that called ion corporations to use their “full clout” but also warned that her peeps would be hurt by boycotts.

If Liberals in GA really want to show their disdain for the new GA voting laws, they should move themselves out of GA.

I wish I watched MLB, drank coke products or flew Delta so I could boycott them.

Doubtful. By 2022 the sheep will forget all about this.

I’m in the same boat; I live paycheck to paycheck, and sometimes buy used clothes at flea markets. They don’t care about my already-in-place de facto boycott.

they don’t worry about losing votes any more since they manufacture them and drop them off in the dead of night during elections with impunity so far.

Heard on the radio this morning that DELAWARE has the most restrictive voting laws in the nation.

So every state should pass those same laws AS BIDEN’S HOME STATE!..................................

It is not so much that they will forget (they would), but it will simply be kept out of the public forum. Fake news isn’t just the lies pushed by the enemedia; it is also the omission of truth by them.

For example, Donald Trump won the 2020 election but the enemedia is calling this other old senile goof who didn’t even campaign “president”.

The sheep are on both sides.
Flimsey Grahamnesty had voted for amnesty THREE times by 2014 and he was re-elected and he then got re-elected again in 2020 promising to vote for amnesty again.

Both parties, the courts and everyone who didn’t vote for Trump call Senile Joe President because they all wanted it that way to get the border back open.

Here is wisdom from an old mentor:

“They need us, much more than we need them.”

Coke and Delta need CUSTOMERS to survive and thrive.
We can live very nicely without Coke and Delta.

When we realize that simple economic truth, and work it aggressively and observably, the Korp-O-Wokes will respond the only way they can — and stay in business.

It wasn’t just the border - it was getting the ChiCom factories churning again (so they could re-close those re-opened in the US under Trump).

Trump was a leader beholden to nobody (he had his own money, so couldn’t be bought by ChiComs or Hollywood or anyone); this was dangerous to the elites.

Diversity departments, and public relations departments, don’t understand the massive damage they’re doing to their employers’ bottom line.

The morons who pay their salaries must learn the hard way.

They [the Democrats] are not actually worried. They can steal the number of votes back they lost.
