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.”

Lessons have been learned.I feel like I’m going to be saying this a lot over the next several years, but Republicans are done being stomped on.
