Coca-Cola Wants to Make Nice With Republicans After Spitting in Their Faces

















Over the last few weeks, the issue of corporations going fully woke and shoving their viewpoints down the throats of their customers has become pervasive. One of the first to enter the fray was Coca-Cola, who decided to offer its employees critical race theory training, including demanding they “be less white.”

After that, things just snowballed, with Georgia’s mundane election reform bill becoming a punching bag for Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, and dozens of other corporations looking to make political statements. Later, 100 companies, including Coca-Cola, got together on a conference call to push the matter even further, mocking Sen. Mitch McConnell’s warning to stop bending the knee to the left.

As I wrote at the time, it was yet another sign that it was time for Republicans to stop fluffing these mega-corporations that turn around and spit in the face of normal Americans.

Now, Coca-Cola is trying to make nice, though, I doubt their motives for doing so are anything but profit-driven.



Yeah, it’s gonna be a no from me, dawg.

You don’t get to strip naked and jump into the freezing waters of wokeness and then expect Republicans to pull you out and give you a pat on the head by going back to buying your products. No one made Coca-Cola (or these other companies) lie about the Georgia election reform bill, and no one made them alienate a large portion of their American consumer base by becoming overtly political. But they did those things anyway, and they should be left to pay the consequences.


Further, you can bet the “path forward” they are promoting there is one that decidedly swings to the left. Conservatives aren’t interested in compromise anymore because it’s never enough. Lessons have been learned.

That's a hard no for me, Coke. Same goes for the other woke corporations. I'll kick'em off where I can.

“We believe the best way to make progress now is for everyone to come together to listen, respectfully share concerns and collaborate on a path forward."

Y'all are reading that wrong. It's not "we want to hear your ideas," it's shut up and do what we say.

Exactly like what Jo Chi Minh meant when he talked about unity. If everyone would just shut up and agree with what he wants, it's perfect unity.

Here in Atlanta, the home of Coca-Cola, you can go into any supermarket and the shelved are packed with product and they have a buy two get two promotion going on.

I am enjoying my SodaStream I got last month. Bubbly water with fruit juice, or lemon juice, or lime juice.

Yes, we should come together in the middle. I find myself right smack in the middle of "FUCK YOU".

I understand the corporations have to do some woke nonsense to avoid crapstorms and what not, fine. But don't go out of your way to attack or insult me. I'm not a Republican but as a white person, I'm sick and tired of being targeted, shamed, attacked, blamed. Stop that.
