Sometimes the left just can't help itself — just can't stop itself — from embracing "woke" nonsense. In the case of Target, the major retailer remains all in — on purpose — up to its corporate eyeballs.
When we last visited the Minneapolis-based retailer, the company had partnered with UK-based Satanist designer Abprallen on its new “Pride” collection, which featured a “Cure Transphobia” sweatshirt bearing the message “Cure transphobia, not trans people,” and other related products. Did I mention that Abprallen insists: “Satan loves you,” “Satan respects pronouns,” and other uplifting [sarc] trash for your shopping pleasure?
Yeah.
Anyway, Target has apparently learned zero from the consumer backlash to its last "woke" adventure. According to End Wokeness — a conservative account with more than 1.8 million followers on X — the Minnesota-based corporate retail giant now offers woke Christmas decorations, including a black Santa Claus in a wheelchair and a figurine sporting both a "pride" hat and a "pride" flag.

My first thought was why would anyone who truly celebrates Christmas put that ornament on his or her Christmas tree? And here's the thing — it matters not if the character is black, white, purple, or glow-in-the-dark. What does matter, in my not-so-humble opinion, is the demeaning — via "wokeness" — of Christianity's most celebrated holiday.
So, again:
Wow. Just wow.
You would think they would have learned from the last time.
When will companies finally start to realize it?
#ProTip: They won't. Not most of them, anyway.
Wow. Just wow.

Go woke ➡️ go broke!
