    So you think a tiny little fraction of society that probably measures less than 1% spends more money than roughly half the population?

    I don't know what sort of math would support that but it isn't actual math

    Conservatives dont utilize credit like the left does. When we support something we go all out, and it comes full circle. We overpay our labor remember. Conservatives have a hard time with that concept. Ever worked for a woke company...its amazing.

    You realize speaking in broad and unsupported, generalities does nothing to make your point right?

    I honestly don't know myself, but I do know if it is genetic then I want undisputed evidence of that.

    Apparently was the key word.
    I am going off anecdotal examples.

    If we're going by that one can easily drive around a majority conservative neighborhood and see all of the boats and ATVs and other unnecessary toys parked in the yard.

    Swamp buggies are pretty popular with the good old boys down here and they don't give those things away either and you need a good size truck and it roughly a $10,000 flatbed to tow those around

    The LGBT community has been estimated to be around 12-15% of the total population according to physical tests and self assessment is currently at 7%. Gen Z is close to 20%

    Where did you pull your 1% figure from?

    Obviously not, since Target's market value is $9,000,000,000 less than what it was.

    The "in yo face" strategy isn't working very. Is it?

    I was going to demonstrate that the issue isnt isolated to just "woke" brick an mortar retail, but
    Im having the same issue as i have when i try and think of a successful conservative ran city....What is a good conservative, anti woke corporation i can compare target to, and how are they doing in comparison?

    I guess hobby lobby comes to mind?
    Unfortunately they arnt publicly traded, nor is their owner Gen Cap America...

    So where do you guys shop? Walmarts about as "woke" as Target.

    Why does it seem like people go broke supporting conservative rather then woke. Conservative doesnt seem like a very prosperous agenda. I mean look at Russia for example...I digress.

    What is a similarly successful conservative ran version of Target we can compare stock tickers to?

    OUCH: Target Loses $9 Billion in Market Value After Boycott.

    [​IMG]

    American's tire of the in your face propagandizing from tv shows, to movies, to shopping, to commercials. Ready to simply go about your daily tasks, and too many Leftists want to cram their unwanted message down your throats. Well, this is why we value freedom, here in American, we can simply go somewhere else. And we are:

    ''Target has faced enormous criticism for its recent efforts to cater to the transgender community in recent weeks after the national retailer introduced a “Pride collection” across its stores, featuring merchandise, clothing, and books promoting transgender-friendly messages and leftist gender ideology for young children and babies. Target also ensured that these products were prominently displayed at the front of its stores, forcing everyone who entered to be exposed to its rainbow-colored propaganda.'

    And that force-feeding is what is resulting in the aversion.

    '“I think given the current situation with Bud Light, the company is terrified of a Bud Light situation,” a Target insider said.'

    THAT'S GOOD.

    'Well, it looks like they couldn’t contain the damage. Just a week ago, Target’s stock closed at $160.96 per share, resulting in a market capitalization of $74.3 billion.' However, now it's dropped to $140.75. As a result, the market value has fallen to $65 billion — a 12% drop and a staggering loss of $9 billion in market capitalization.'

    THAT'S HOW YOU GET THEIR ATTENTION.

    'Target clearly hasn’t realized it made a mistake. The company fully endorses wokeism and believes it’s the company’s future.'

    THAT'S UP TO THEM.

    I don't do boycotts. That being said, I've never shopped at Target because there's never been a Target that was convenient. I don't shop Walmart, either. I go to the nearest mom-n-pop, or a local chain. Too bad there aren't as many Piggly Wiggly's anymore.

    You need to read your own link before you post it. Did you notice your link says 7.1% while you said an estimated 12 to 15%?

    You have a lot of nerve to point the finger when you're so very wrong yourself but that clearly doesn't surprise anyone.

    Did you think that no one's going to remember what you said and actually bother to click on your link because that's what it seems like you were depending on.

    Reread it:

    Actually I said
    “The LGBT community has been estimated to be around 12-15% of the total population according to physical tests and self assessment is currently at 7%. Gen Z is close to 20%”

    I just sourced the 7% self assessment for the population as a whole (it’s actually 7.1). I also sourced the 20% for Gen Z (it’s actually 20 % )

    The 12-15 percent comes from numerous studies showing numbers that indicate most people are bisexual
    https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2003631117
    And that self reported numbers are vastly underreported, especially in homophobic males
    https://medicine.yale.edu/news-arti...population-hide-orientation-ysph-study-finds/
    https://psycnet.apa.org/record/1996-00463-014

    Those links are called sources. Hopefully you can post some of yours showing 1%.
