‘Emergency!’ for the Woke

by Lee Duigon

As Bud Lite sales continue to bottom out, thanks to the company’s decision to be the transgender beer of choice, you’d think the woke crowd would at least suspect they might have gone a bridge too far. Assorted polls report that most Americans, by a landslide, oppose the woke agenda.

Is it finally sinking in?

In North Carolina a few days ago, the state legislature prepared to enact a school choice bill, making education vouchers available to all residents regardless of income level. The Democrat governor swung into action, declaring a “state of emergency” to stop the bill.

Emergency? How is school choice an “emergency” for anyone except the Far Left teachers’ unions and their brigade of groomers? Who in his right mind would leave his kids in public school, with vouchers available for a school of his choice? But no—“Stop the damage,” Gov. Roy Cooper says. He, by the way, sends his own children to a private school. But that’s not for us plebs, is it?

Anyway, he expects the legislature to override his veto, so that’s the “emergency” that must be stopped.

Meanwhile, nationwide, the higher-ups at Target frantically phoned their stores to give the managers 36 hours to move all their LGBT-themed children’s clothes and toys to the back of the store, hopefully out of sight of normal people: they want to “avoid a Bud Lite situation,” the kind of massive rejection by normal people that’s pushing Bud Lite underwater. Yes, it’s another “emergency.” Sources say Target’s “terrified” of becoming the next Bud Lite.

How’s this for a better idea? Move all the groomer goods to the parking lot and have a bonfire. That would at least demonstrate sincerity.

What are these people thinking? If multitudes of parents suddenly pull their kids out of North Carolina’s public schools, whose fault is that? The parents don’t want what you’re selling them, chuckles—transgender mania, Critical Race Theory, “gender” mischief kept a secret from the affected children’s families, etc. Stop doing those things, and you won’t have a mad rush out the doors.

And imagine a retail store that has to hide its merchandise. What kind of business is that? I thought stores were supposed to offer goods that people want to buy. Target has got it all backwards.

Far Left Crazy is very slow on the uptake. Why do they suppose people want school choice? Hint: it isn’t because the teachers’ unions’ public schools aren’t woke enough. Why do they suppose people are thronging school board meetings all over the country to object to school board policies? (Oh, wait, I know! It’s because they’re racists—right? And transphobes. Or is that only what the school board numbskulls are saying when they beg the FBI to send agents to the board meetings to spy on parents?)

But it’s simple, really. We don’t like the crapola you’re loading onto our kids in the guise of “education.” We don’t like the stores we shop in catering to groomers. We don’t like being lorded over by Far Left jidrools who hate us, hate the very concept of the family, despise our way of life, and want to transform the country into Venezuela North. And if we have to stop shopping at Target to get our point across… we will.
