If they were in the Middle East, they would have been thrown off of a tall building by now.

Hostage?

About time someone stood up to these virtue-signallers and the sick twisted people they ENABLE.

Seems to me Target/etal are being held hostage, and in turn holding ALL of us many normal people hostage to their preferences.

Well, let’s show our preference and walk out.

“Hurting brands’ sales and reputations was the stated goal of the campaign:”

Isn’t that what commie leftists love?

That “corporations” are naturally evil? Because they want money?

These people are twisting themselves in knots trying to justify and rationalize everything.

Nathaniel Meyerson probably has fantasies about being held hostage in various situations, hoping Prince Charming will rescue him and carry him off to a castle in the sky. So claiming somebody or something else is not a stretch, just a lazy extension of his daydreams.

No. Not really. They never did. It just wasn’t as obvious before.

Fueled by far-right personalities and on social media platforms, the anti-trans campaign spread misleading information about the company’s Pride Month products and its business practices.

Get outta here with that “far right” B.S., CNN.

The reason there’s a backlash on the LGBTQLMNOPXYZ crap now is because those factions have recently stepped up their agenda, flinging it in our faces non-stop and doubling down on preying on innocent children.

Keep destroying target, ab, walmart, bk, ford, disney and every other woke company. Then destroy the woke companies that come after.

"Remember when CNN did journalism?

Not really.

And I remember them back to the 'First Gulf War'--1990, when I first became aware of them...

I thought at the time that they were doing news, but looking back with what I know now, they were doing deep state propaganda even then.

These stories have been coming out all day long on every network and channel. Target is eliciting liberal tears and anguish. It’s worked for them before.

The only reason I go to Target is to go into the women’s restroom and leave all the toilet seats up.

We’re against the grooming of children. If Target put sex toys out prominently, there would also be a backlash. There’s a time and place for that, but not in a family-friendly department store.

They will pay any price to receive the approval of demonic forces. They believe they fight for freedom and dignity. They do not. They are the deluded minions of oppression.

Fictitious “DEI scores” are what’s holding corporations hostage, not consumers.
Sane Consumers are more than happy to help the companies who subscribe to the Tranny-insanity die.

So refusing to do business with a company that rejects your values, actively promotes the opposite ones, and throws it in your face, is somehow “holding them hostage”???

Waht this really means is that it’s working, and the libs find that unacceptable.

Wearing the “queer gear” they sell is an “in your face” launched against Normals.
