Breaking: 20% of Americans Still Not Tired of Losing Friends on Facebook Over Politics, Support Boycott of Any Company That Doesn't Hate Trump as Much as They Do - Uncede

And let’s talk about the latest poll that’s got everyone in a frenzy – apparently, one in five Americans are planning to boycott companies that have shifted their policies to align with Donald Trump‘s agenda, because, you know, who needs customers when you can have a tweet from the president, right? But seriously, this is a big deal, folks, with high-profile brands like Amazon, Target, and Tesla grappling with economic boycotts, and research by the Harris Poll suggesting that the backlash could have a lasting impact – I mean, who wouldn’t want to boycott a company that’s rolling back its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, am I right?

But what’s really interesting here is that when asked about the boycotts, 36% of Americans said they are or will be participating, with the top reason being that they want to show companies that consumers have economic power and influence – and I’m like, finally, people are waking up to the fact that their spending habits can actually make a difference, you know? And nearly half of those boycotting pointed to companies rolling back their DEI policies as a reason behind their boycott, which is just, like, wow, I’m so proud of these people for standing up for what they believe in.

And let’s not forget the breakdown of demographics – 53% of gen Zers and 46% of millennials said they are participating in boycotts, compared with 30% of gen Xers and just 22% of Boomers, which is, like, no surprise, given the whole "ok boomer" thing, but still, it’s interesting to see the numbers. Over half of Black and Hispanic Americans are boycotting, compared with 29% of white Americans, which is, like, a whole thing, and Democrats are far more likely to be boycotting now than independents and conservatives, which is just, like, duh.

But anyway, back to the point – it’s difficult to track the tangible impacts boycotts have on companies and exactly how many people participate in them, but some groups have coordinated boycotts within their communities, particularly in response to companies like Target, Amazon, and Walmart rolling back DEI measures – and I’m like, good for them, you know? Some Americans feel companies are giving up core moral values in bowing to the president, and I’m like, yeah, no kidding, it’s like they’re selling their souls for a quick buck or something.

The Rev Jamal Bryant, a pastor based in Baltimore with a large social media following, called on his followers to give up spending money at Target for Lent, which is, like, a pretty bold move, but I guess when you’re a pastor, you’ve got to take a stand, right? And Hispanic activists have similarly called on their community to boycott companies, calling it the Latino Freeze Movement, which is, like, a pretty cool name, if you ask me.

Last month, a Harris poll found that 31% of Americans have reported similar goals to “opt out” of the economy this year in light of the changing political climate, which is, like, a whole thing, and the companies have said that they are responding to a changing legal environment around DEI, but it’s like, come on, guys, you can’t just use that as an excuse to roll back your DEI policies, that’s just, like, cowardly.

On the campaign trail, Trump vowed to abolish DEI, and he signed multiple executive orders ending DEI programs within the federal government as soon as he came into office, which is, like, no surprise, given his whole track record, but still, it’s just, like, wow. The impact that the administration can have on efforts in the private sector is still unclear, but some companies appear willing to risk losing customers instead of taking their chances, which is, like, a pretty bold move, but I guess when you’re a company, you’ve got to make tough decisions, right?
