Brian Cornell will be replaced next year by Michael Fiddelke, Target’s chief operating officer, the company said on Wednesday.

    Go woke go broke??? :'(

    Yeah, the term is really idiotic. Out of the many right wing propaganda, that one never stuck, thankfully.

    According to survey, the vast majority of Americans still believe in diversity. It is only the tiny miniscule of loud minority who keep harping as if “go woke go broke” is a popular sentiment, when in reality it’s not.

    But don’t be complacent and think Americans would never turn around from believing in diversity. If all eligible voters of Americans turned up on the election, only 30% voted for Trump. A similar amount of minority of eligible voters elected Hitler and the Nazis. It was only with sustained propaganda once the Nazis became firmly in control of the government that the Germans became steeped in the cult of group think, and forgot any semblance of humanity. With Project 2025, indoctrinating Americans is part of a similar agenda.
