Right on. Trump vindicated what you’re saying by proving the foolishness of the GOP’s endless “minority outreach.” He found the missing white voters and inspired them to turn out. Youngkin did the same thing in VA, which is an even better validation of your argument. His win had much more to do with rural American voters angry about restrictions on gun rights than it did “based Indian and Asian and Muslim parents” angry about school admissions in NOVA. Yet the latter is to whom conservative media ascribed the win. It is so lame

Then in 2020 Trump stupidly adopted minority outreach on steroids by signing the First Step Act promising the platinum plan for blacks and the American dream plan for Latinos in 2020 which would have cost hundreds of billions of dollars. Prior to that he and the Republican Congress provided record funding for historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) and black America proceeded to vote for Democrat Joe Biden in the largest numbers ever. Pandering never works and only alienates white voters.

In some respects Trump was far to the left of Obama and RINOs on racial issues.

These Alphabet people dont breed. The Identity issues need to be corrected quickly or we can never change them. The LGBT will eventually dwindle do to birthrates

Even if you don't like the pride boycotts for not focusing on racial identity, they present a positive example to learn from. Right wing people got furious, organized, and made their enemies bend the knee, something the far left influencing these corporations' advertising choices didn't want. That's a W. If it's not a W for the issue you care about then use the same model that was used to boycott Target to boycott DEI then.

The model is just what conservative media and Twitter personalities decided to focus on. There really isn't anything more specific. They didn't really get organized besides responding to con media. The audience and the commentators, for whatever reason, doesn't feel as motivated to call for boycotts over racial matters. You get a lot more engagement and have plenty of opportunities to grift off the Bud Light and Target situations than calling for a boycott of the NFL. Much more likely to be ratioed by our own side over that matter.

We could see a company face a bud light-level boycott over anti-white stuff but it's all dependent on what goes viral on social media and whether the audience gets mad enough about it

Oosh, I was under the impression that Indo European Armenians were white.

By the way, where's your evidence that the Chick Fil A Boycott came and went beyond what Erik Erikson said? It is my impression that right wing people are still boycotting them.

They're better than Muslims, and far more assimilable, but they are not the same as White-Americans.
