    It couldn’t come at a worse time for the company

    Neither could their capitulation to Trumps bigoted rhetoric.

    I got a lot of flak and eye rolls from my liberal friends a few years ago when I, as a queer woman, would criticize their Rainbow Capitalism. But Target is not an ally, they never were. They are simply a corporation that got some easy publicity in liberal spaces by showing the bare minimum decency.

    Fair weather allies, aren’t.

      Target is under more pressure than companies like Walmart, John Deere or Tractor Supply, because Target went further in its DEI efforts, and it has a more progressive base of customers than those competitors.

      This is wild move for a company on its arse anyway.
