Glenn Youngkin, Ron DeSantis, Disney, Bud Light, Target, Heckler & Koch.\u00a0 What do these names have in common?\u00a0 They all relate to Americans getting fed up with radical culture war outrages and pushing back against them.<\/p>\n
Republican Glenn Youngkin<\/strong> was elected governor of a blue state (Virginia) because the public schools were indoctrinating the kids with anti-white racism and forgetting to teach them the three R\u2019s.<\/p>\n Ron DeSantis<\/strong> was re-elected in a landslide because he stood up against teachers teaching deviant sex to kids in the second grade.\u00a0 And he stood up to Disney<\/strong>, one of the largest employers in the state of Florida, when they called him out on the school issue.\u00a0 And that made him more popular still.<\/p>\n Bud Light <\/strong>stepped on their own \u2026 foot when they let a feminist marketing director \u201cpartner\u201d the brand with a male TikTok influencer who puts on woman face and pretends he\u2019s the reincarnation of Audrey Hepburn.\u00a0 Then a video was found of that same marketing director denigrating the \u201cfrat-boy\u201d image of Bud Light and saying that the demographic they formerly sold beer to was shrinking and they needed to go after the more progressive younger crowd that was represented by the TikTok influencer in drag.\u00a0 Of course, she forgot to check if any of these new customers drink beer.\u00a0 When word got back to her actual customers of her disdain for them, they stopped buying her beer, in droves.\u00a0 Now sales are down over thirty percent and still falling.\u00a0 Bud Light is now called Trans Beer and the company can\u2019t give it away, literally.\u00a0 They\u2019ve tried to sell it with a 100% rebate coupon.\u00a0 At some point they may have to just pull the product and try to rebrand with some other name.\u00a0 But the damage now appears permanent because they refused to apologize to their customers.<\/p>\n Target<\/strong> was celebrating their annual \u201cPride\u201d month with a display at the front of the store that included clothing for children including tuck-friendly bathing suits.\u00a0 When this was highlighted by several right-wing media outlets a huge hostile reaction started from Target customers in several states.\u00a0 Target claimed that their employees were frightened by the anger in these areas and the company moved the displays to the back of the stores and scaled it back in these areas of the country.\u00a0 And the stock price of Target took a nosedive.\u00a0 It went from about $160 a share to about $130 which is close to a twenty percent loss in equity.\u00a0 Target claims that they will not change their stance on LGBTQ sponsorship.\u00a0 It should be interesting to see how things progress over the summer.<\/p>\n And finally, we come to Heckler & Koch<\/strong>.\u00a0 This German gun manufacturer also had a feminist marketing executive who decided to respond to some of the company\u2019s on-line patrons when they called the Bud Light marketing manager \u201cwoke.\u201d\u00a0 She told them they were stupid and explained that sexist ads like the bikini babes in beer and gun advertisements was \u201ctrash marketing\u201d and only dinosaurs liked that kind of stuff.\u00a0 And she went on and on trading barbs with her company\u2019s customer base about identity politics of various sorts.\u00a0 Well, that didn\u2019t go over well with the customers.\u00a0 They threatened to boycott Heckler & Koch.\u00a0 After a short pause a post from the company appeared saying \u201cPolicies were ignored.\u00a0 Changes have been made.\u00a0 Heckler & Koch does not engage in identity politics.\u201d\u00a0 Shortly after this a new marketing manager started posting and he very humorously disowned the remarks of his predecessor.\u00a0 Problem solved.<\/p>\n It appears to me that there is a very large audience of Americans who are fed up with the woke agenda and will reward politicians who will fight it and punish corporations that mock them and side with their enemies.\u00a0 What is needed is an organizing force to channel this anger and use it to accomplish some goals.\u00a0 What we need is the opposite of GLAAD.\u00a0 We need an organization that advocates for normalcy.\u00a0 Its acronym should be something like NORMAL or NORML or STRAIT or something like that.\u00a0 Their job should be to give a report card on corporations that reflects the degree to which they align with the values of normal people.\u00a0 And they can report these findings back to the members in the general public and make recommendations for actions like boycotts or protests or letters to government to protest the actions of the worst offenders.\u00a0 And alternatively, they can recommend that the membership patronize and support the companies that are most sympathetic to the community.\u00a0 And likewise, NORMAL, or whatever it\u2019s called can give scores to elected officials and candidates with respect to how they protect the interests of their constituents.<\/p>\n It’s easy to see how such an organization would be useful and what it could achieve.\u00a0 The real question is why doesn\u2019t it already exist.\u00a0 Now all I have to do is figure out words to fit the acronym.\u00a0 National Organization Representing Moral American \u2026\u00a0 Dammit, what begins with
