Georgians adopted voter-integrity measures supported by a large majority of Americans, that are in the mainstream of state regulation and in fact are less stringent than the rules in Delaware, President Joe Biden’s home state, and New York. By more than a 2-1 margin, Americans think such rules are not unfair or discriminatory.
Nonetheless, these measures have produced an unprecedented effort by large corporations to interfere in the workings of a democratic government. Major League Baseball moved its All-Star Game out of (majority-black) Atlanta to (majority-white) Denver in protest. Coca-Cola’s president weighed in against the changes. And in a statement organized by Kenneth Chenault

The 'woke' big corporations, whose oligarchs now control the Democratic Party, have focused their attack on Georgia because they are following Stacy Abrams' lead. Flip Georgia because it's the first step in flipping the south - and flipping the South is key to controlling the country as far into the future as he eye can see.

The author is a master of understatement regarding the democrats activities in the 2020 election: ...”by adopting unorthodox voting measures”. What?? Excuse me, that was massive vote fraud. Nothing unorthodox about it. It was planned although be it very sloppily, but it was not unorthodox. It is their strategy, plan of action, and standard operating procedure. If it was anything, it was an extreme orthodox act, win by any means possible.
Excuse my nit picking on this but if we had more precise reporting on what actually transpired in November 2020, we may right now be on another entire path enjoying our lives free from democrat oppression.
Mr. Reynolds is right about corporations carrying more what their peers think than they do their bottom line. They fear being ostracized more than loss of revenue because the men and women heading these corporations are weak. They lack integrity and are loyal only to their tribe of likeminded cowardly fools. They have no stomach to take a stand in opposition to the group. They will even willingly through their policies harm their fellow citizens and country of their birth in order to be on the right side of their peers. Some moral fortitude and integrity you got there. It may not matter to the corporations but I still try and avoid these companies. It may not hurt them in the least but it makes me feel good. One woman raging against the machine!

The typical corporate CEO is very concerned about optics. From the article, take note of Reynolds observation -
"The left would make it personal: Go after them on social media. Write letters to the editor. Show up at shareholder meetings and make a scene. Get friendly legislators to investigate their companies’ actions. The tiniest bit of personal discomfort affects these people more than millions of dollars taken from their companies’ bottom lines."
I would even take it a step further. Remember that these same CEOs report to a corporate board of directors who can be made equally uncomfortable as the CEO. Remember, these people don't walk on water as much as they would like you to think so. They have to put their pants on one leg at a time same as we do. Make them know you don't like their politics, their woke culture, or their company.

These "woke" delusions of weasel CEOs have already begun to backfire. The power to control the corporations as well as the power to reign in the government is held by us. All we need to do is use it effectively. We are sick of the JoHo situation, sick of BLM, are mad as hell and are not going to take it any more. For guidance, read Of Mice and Men.

The wife and I have made a pact to shop exclusively at mom & pop stores in our town and avoid anything like Wally World that is a link in a chain. It may cost a few more dollars but the small stores need the support and the chains deserve to be ignored due to their activism. It seems that the majority of them have been infiltrated by Karens and loons.

This is nonsense... the wealth gap is a reflection of 50 years of democrats keeping the blacks on city plantations to insure their vote... when President Trump started to elevate the blacks with employment and a break out of government handouts... the democrats started to lose the black vote... and they panicked...these attempts now are to move the black community back on the plantations with promises of punishing the white community and handing out tokens of funds... on the back of the taxpayers...it's a political move...not concern for the financially depressed...

#11 Inner city black culture is the bane of the country. Suburban and rural blacks are not predisposed to crime. And if poverty was the root cause Hispanics should be committing crime at a comparable rate. I agree, the dims keep their black voters in the inner city plantations and send them to inferior schools to keep them subservient.

Boycott Boycott Boycott. Go Woke, Go Broke. There are many places to find which corporations need boycotting. Obvious ones like Coke, Disney, Netflix, General Electric, AT&T, Apple. . Buy local - buy from small & family businesses. Examine your consumerism. Be aware of what these monsters are doing.
Freedom Patriots have enormous untapped power to deal serious financial damage. Use your economic power.
