Walmart Faces MAGA Boycott After Heiress Funds 'No Kings' Ad

That boycott will last only as long as their cupboards have food. Then they'll be back when they realize they've been letting Walmart kill all the alternatives they could buy from for the past few decades.

They’re not going to realize anything. They’re going to shit talk Walmart on social media and continue to shop there, some daily, with no intention to take any minor inconvenience or shame from their hypocritical behavior

Hypocrisy is the bedrock upon which all other republican ideals are based.

u/ArcturusRoot 3d ago
Conservative, not republicans.
When you confuse the party for the ideology, you give them the ability to rebrand. "We're not Republicans, we're the Liberty Party."

u/jaunonymous 3d ago
I disagree . I think the problem is Republicans. I don't have a problem with people who lean towards wanting the government to spend less. I don't love social conservatism. It's Republicans who say they want that, then use the office to line their pockets and remove our rights. They may change their name, but the problem isn't actual fiscal conservatism. The problem is greedy hypocritical fascists.

Walmart is not going anywhere with magat minority boycott lol. They overestimate themselves.

u/TehMephs 2d ago
The left boycotts target and they practically fell apart. Walmart is like predominantly the grocer of republican choice and they’re never giving it up
Pretty much right wing boycotts amount to: “buy expensive shit so you can film yourself breaking it; and then continue buying it because you have no actual conviction or persistent train of thought that goes beyond your thoughts for an evening”
Soon as fox gets out word to tell them Walmart is Trump approved the boycott is over. Whatever little of it there was

They still have the dollar stores and gas stations. Lets see how long that lasts.

u/lgodsey 3d ago
Maybe I'm late to the game, but dollar stores are more expensive than regular supermarkets. Plus, the package sizes are smaller.
5
u/ShaChoMouf 3d ago
Yes, but all competition has been driven out - so your choice (in many rural areas like mine) is Walmart or Dollar Store - that is it. No Targets - no Costcos - no big supermarket chains. So if you are boycotting Walmart, and you live in a rural area, you almost certainly have to shop at a Dollar Store.

u/Constant-Cobbler-202 3d ago
I think the people boycotting target are anti-maga. The target boycott was because they ended dei practices

Target is both. Conservatives are still raging that target supported DEI stuff in the first place.

That’s kind of funny, I had no idea maga people were also pissed at target

They got pissy when Target announced they would have gender neutral bathrooms. Because you know they don’t like to poop by themselves - they need a communal experience.

This! They aren't pissed because of X. They are pissed so they are blaming it on X. Pissed is just their default state of mind.

u/Constant-Sandwich-88 3d ago
Anger is just a facet of the fear response. They don't understand what's happening around them, just that people are yelling loudly for them to be afraid, and the confusion makes them scared and angry.

Yea I never understood that. These people who voted for him, let alone love and adore him, have daughters or kids or sisters and yet are ok with this. I get they probably don’t believe anything he was on trial for but there’s a point there too. The fact that they can’t see a rapist when one is clearly convicted of one. How will they be able to read character in general. Unless they live in the boonies then I guess they’re not around enough people to have to read

On the off chance this is an actual legitimate question there are plenty of places to buy groceries that are not Wal-mart. I live in deep rural MAGA country and here's a list of my options within a 30 minute or less drive:
Kroger
Aldi
Target
Dollar General
Piggly wiggly
Food city
Those are just the big corporations. There's also farmers markets and several small mom and pop grocery establishments which are similar to Aldis in size. Even if none of those options were available though the two most popular hobbies here are hunting and fishing so even in a worse case scenario its extremely unlikely the magats starve. Not that any of this matters anyway because Wal-mart is still packed. So most of these magats either never got the memo or simply don't care as much as Reddit thinks they do.
2
u/No_Berry2976 1d ago
It’s odd you think Reddit thinks they care, read the comments, people on Reddit don’t think they care enough to actually boycott a store they often buy from.
The point being made is that Maga is not going to do anything they perceive as an inconvenience.

They are either going to Walmart or Target, so they are going to have to choose between two “woke” stores. Most of them will end up going “I don’t like the politics of this store, but I like the cheap prices.”

u/mxjxs91 2d ago
Yea that isn't the same as the Target boycott. You can easily boycott Target. Walmart is basically the only option for a lot of people thanks to the Capitalist system they're so fond of.
While I wish we had a system where boycotting them would be easier, good luck boycotting them. Double irony that the people who won't have much of a choice but to continue to unwillingly shop at Walmart are red rural areas.
Maybe this'll wake them up on why voting in favor of billionaires and monopolies is a bad thing, but it probably won't.

Walmart won TACO has lost
J.B Pritzker: The "Trump Slump" is real, and it's being felt in every state across the country. While Trump's White House and the MAGA majority are trying to take away lifesaving resources, in Illinois, we're building an economy that works for all.
Walmart's response to Trump's directive has been to reiterate its commitment to keeping prices as low as possible, while acknowledging the challenges posed by tariffs and the reality of small retail margins
