The ‘Why’ of Corporate Wokeism

Douglas Andrews at PatriotPost defines corporate “wokeism”   It’s systematic blackmail.  One shakedown after the next.  Here’s how it works:

Uncovering the ‘Why’ of Corporate Wokeism

The radical Human Rights Campaign’s so-called Corporate Equality Index is a powerful Oz-like force behind the leftism of American business.

Yesterday, we wondered what Bud Light’s VP of marketing was thinking when she made transgender cultist Dylan Mulvaney a corporate spokesman. Today, we’ll ponder what powerful American companies are thinking when they listen to leftist nincompoops like Alissa Heinerscheid.

And not only that. Lest you think the HRC is obsessed only with sex, more recently the organization has come to wield the Left’s other cultural cudgel: race. . . .
