    Translation: Trump won, so obviously we don’t have to pretend anymore.

        And yet, everyone keeps going there. Let’s be honest, they only did it because they thought it was what everyone wanted while the Dems were in power.

        Now they’re changing it again because the leadership is shifting. Why can’t companies just make decisions based on what they actually want to do, without pandering to politics?

        That could mean embracing DEI initiatives or ignoring them entirely—I’m fine with either choice. It’s the performative gestures, done just for appearances, that bother me.

        I will say that the Bud Light fiasco was the most irritating to me. They literally did it just because that’s the wave they thought people were going for. Soooo funny when that backfired bigtime.

      They shouldn’t have pretended in the first place. That’s the whole reason behind the pushback and disdain for “woke” policies. It’s obvious that many companies do it just to appease a vocal minority because they think it will boost profits. How about we stop that, regardless of the choice?
