This delusional take mistakes a broad market selloff with an impact of a “boycott” most people have never heard of. Walmart has a market cap of ~$700B, so $22B isn’t that much of a drop, considering what’s happened in the markets recently.
Supposedly, all the people boycotting Walmart and Target switched to Costco for being more DEI friendly, but Costco has lost more than $60B over the same time period. And they have a much smaller market cap (~$420B), so a significantly greater percentage loss. Using their logic, their boycott has completely backfired, hurting Costco much more than Walmart. Or, more likely, the “boycott” had little effect and is dwarfed by other market forces.
It’s just so wild to see these movements see saw, it feels like just yesterday that conservatives were boycotting Disney and the left was gloating.
Just incredible. After posting a meme blaming Charlie Kirk for his own murder, they post another a few hours later applauding Democrats for their civility.
Also, if you look at the Occupy Democrats timeline, their posts “denouncing political violence” were variations on “no one should be shot…BUT here’s a quote from Kirk showing he’s a terrible person.” Or sometimes they’d leave the first part out altogether and just attack him. There are no posts denouncing violence without qualifiers trying to gin up their base.
