Conservative Boycotts Vs. Liberal Boycotts Perfectly Explained

conservative boycott

Personally, I don’t know why any company would want to have political stances of their own, or have the public be aware of it. It seems like, at best, a way to alienate half your customers no matter what stance you’re taking.

Just look at recent examples, like Target taking a stance on the transgender bathroom “debate,” or Chick-fil-A supporting traditional marriage.

Both prompted quick, and fierce responses (in the form of boycotts). The American Family Association’s petition to boycott Target now boasts nearly 1.5 million signatures.

On the other hand, what happened when Chick-fil-A’s one-time donation to help fund a pro-traditional marriage conference was made public by a liberal critic of the restaurant? Thanks to Mike Huckabee, “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” was started, and it lead to their largest day of sales in a single day.

The truth is, there’s a HUGE difference between conservative boycotts and liberal boycotts. Here’s a perfect example:

On the other hand, maybe the reason conservative businesses haven’t been adversely affected by liberal protestors is the same reason liberals have so much time to protest in the first place. They don’t have any jobs to be at!
