Lawmakers sound off on Target woke controversy: 'Obsession with focusing on children' | Fox News
Lawmakers sound off on Target woke controversy: 'Obsession with focusing on children' | Fox News:
"I think to some extent companies have the freedom to say whatever they want," Rubio told Fox News Digital. "But obviously consumers are going to react. I think in the Target one, which is different from the Bud Light one, the Target one has to do with families that are going into stores and being bombarded, not just with Pride month stuff, but with products specifically designed for children. I think that most Americans would say, look, adults can do whatever they want in the privacy of their own lives at home. But when you take the power of corporations and ram it down people's throats aimed at children, you're going to have a very visceral reaction.

MacIntyre: Lessons from the battle against woke capital - TheBlaze
MacIntyre: Lessons from the battle against woke capital - TheBlaze:
This year is different, however, as the rapid push to advance radical gender ideology onto children has awakened parents to the dangers of the trans movement, which has simultaneously been pushed to the front of the wider LGBTQ coalition. Bud Light and Target have already seen steep profit losses due to their elevation of transitionist propaganda, as effective boycotts from red America decimate their bottom line. Companies like the North Face and Kohl's are also feeling the heat due to their shameless attempts to push Pride-themed merchandise onto children.

The Rutherford Institute :: The Government Is Turning America Into a Constitution-Free Zone | By John & Nisha Whitehead
"...Every decade or so, the government makes the case for expanding its wartime powers and curtailing the citizenry’s freedom—in the war on terrorism, war on drugs...
As part of the government’s so-called crackdown on illegal immigration, drugs and trafficking, border patrol cops are expanding their reach, roaming further afield and subjecting greater numbers of Americans to - warrantless searches,
- ID checkpoints,

That so-called border, once a thin borderline, is now an ever-thickening band spreading deeper and deeper inside the country.
Consequently, nearly 66% of Americans (2/3 of the U.S. population, or 197.4 million people) now live within a 100-mile-deep, Constitution-free zone.
