then off to the next thing. They have no real commitment to anything other than rage tweets. Kidd Rock was serving the same beer in his restaurant at the same time he claimed he was boycotting it and shooting it up on Youtube.
It seems to me that while MAGA might talk shit on social media, which might affect stock prices, it is not sustained. They are not committed to anything, they really have nothing they are losing so they don't have to be committed to a cause for long. Although they are forever attacking the LGBTQ community, they are in no danger from LGBTQ folks. Meanwhile, LGBTQ folks, minorities, women are in jeopardy and have something real to fight for, thus will engage in sustained boycott campaigns. See Tesla, See Target. Disney didn't really want to go there for the long term.
