    I agree.

    This also isn’t 2016.

    The American voting public knew what they were voting for and they cast their ballots and gave Trump a presidency and a Congressional majority.

    Businesses are responding to the changed political reality. And we also know how businesses operate, in an amoral fashion.

    If anyone thought Coca-Cola was some paragon of virtue, then they were naive.

      No one is saying that, and also there’s a big difference between a commemorative coke bottle (harmless) and removing moderation from your social media platform (meta, x) and allowing people to harass queers (harmful).

      Of all the ring kisses, these one is the least bad. I don’t think anyone thought the company that made that uncanny AI Christmas commercial is virtuous lol

        Yeah I really don’t know what people expected from a company that just released 3 AI made commercials (each nightmare-ish) as celebratory ads for people’s most beloved holiday in the west.

        Honestly that should have been people’s final straw not adjusting their normal inauguration coke to be diet which is just gross for a couple reasons.
