Funny that MAGA folks are saying to boycott, there’s some rural towns where Walmart is the only thing that they have lol
They’re gonna eat their own faces now and say “I didn’t mean to be a leopard! It was Bidens fault”
Republicans are retarded
Republicans are removed
If only…
Does it say removed for you? I’ve got the word. Some kind of censor setting?
Im not looking for it, just curious
It’s lemmy.ml that censors it. I see it just fine here.
Thank the mods
the only way WM is going to close stores, if the red counties suddenly starts taxing the stores, which they wont.
Like those bozos can afford anything but Walmart and dollar tree get the fuck outta here
You just know this rich asshole is really only concerned about how deportations and tariffs are affecting her bottom line.
Nah, not that simple. She married a Walton and he died. She inherited like 1.9% of the company but has never been involved in the business. A few people who claim to know her say she’s genuine as well.
Walmart frantically distancing themselves from her is another decent indicator that the company at least doesn’t think this is good for their bottom line, especially when a large segment of customers are already boycotting them for caving to the current administration. If the other side starts boycotting them for not caving to the current administration, that’s a) bad for business and b) very funny.
Owning more wealth than the majority of the country while keeping employees on food stamps is fine. Come after the king, you’re cancelled.
I don’t see a way out of this idiocracy.
If it doesn’t effect them directly, they don’t care - they’re privileged and act accordingly. The more money people get, the more they can isolate themselves from others, the less they empathize. Couple that with a relentless propaganda/echo chamber that’s always at hand, and the good fight becomes a lot harder. These people are so good at mental gymnastics even when conservatives/MAGA act against their own interests.
They must think, “Then they came for me, And there was no one left, To speak out for me” can’t ever apply to them…
No, they don’t think.
If it doesn’t effect them directly, they don’t care - they’re privileged and act accordingly.
The voters I’ve seen don’t look privileged to me and they seem to be direct out of Walmart videos.

Tbf, I think she’s just an heiress, and I’m not sure if she actually has anything to do with the company beyond that.
This is what I saw. She also married into the family and inherited her deceased husbands wealth.
Still obscenely rich, but she has nothing to do with the company
There is only one way out.
I love it when the billionaires turn against each other. It confuses MAGA.
This is awesome. Many of them rely on the low prices of walmart to survive. I can’t wait for them to punish themselves even harder.
Themselves and Walmart. It’s like watching Godzilla fight Mothra, with any luck they’ll both lose
Rodan. Mothra is cool
Sure, I don’t actually know Godzilla lore, like at all
Well, you knew Godzilla and Mothra so you are doing something right so far!
Mothra is the kaiju GOAT.
I’m pretty sure Mothra is a moth
Gamera would fuck them all up. It’s a giant turtle with jets! Nothing can stop that.
lol, they ain’t turning on Wally World. It’s a vital food source for maga. #fakenews
Maybe they’ll starve themselves.
It hurt itself in the confusion!
Maga is going to be pissed when they find out their boss is a Democrat.
I’ve been deliberately dehumanizing Trumpers for long enough that these articles make no sense to me at first. Who cares if a simple creature had an automatic response we’ve all known was common? “Extra extra! Man dangles carrot, horse tries to get it!” It’s a quaint, goofy society that gets excited over that.
I guess trump supporters superficially resemble human beings but I still don’t think it’s newsworthy for them to repeat the sounds we make. Just say floopergoop dinglewhams are progressive! and now the parrots say they hate the thing you just made up. How long until people get bored of this?
If I had a dollar for every conservative who threatened to boycott Walmart, I’d have twenty or thirty grand, easy.
Good piss them off make them cry just like their orange bitch baby wannabe king.
Seems the overton window has shifted far enough to the right that walmart execs are now what counts as the left.
I might be mixing her up with someone else, but I think she’s a progressive activist and has never been involved in running the company. She’s not an exec, she’s an heiress.
Shhh, don’t let the MAGAs hear this. It’s hilarious.
I mean, I’m honestly not surprised. I’ve been waiting for the billionaire class to rise up against Trump for a while now. If Trump were a competent autocrat, I’d be more worried, since they might all start competing for his favor in order to reap the benefits of crony capitalism. But the honeymoon is over, and Trump is very clearly extremely incompetent and toxic for business. He is scaring and deporting their low wage labor, tanking their stock prices and lowering profits with his tarrifs, and destabilizing potential international business deals with his erratic style of governing. Their increasing discontent with the current administration will drive cooperation rather than competition among them, and they will use their sizeable resources to neuter the administration.
A king can only rule so long as the court supports him.
Great job Walmart. Do not stand with the monster in the white house and his MAGAt followers.
Walmart released a statement to Newsweek saying, “The advertisements from Christy Walton are in no way connected to or endorsed by Walmart. She does not serve on the board or play any role in decision making at Walmart.”
I don’t think this will really amount to much. Where else are they going to shop that abuses labor as much as Walmart to keep prices low?
