"Target is in trouble. And while it’s easy to get lost in the company’s recent (poor) handling of American culture war narratives that cast it as too “woke” or too willing to cave to online fascists, the root of Target’s problems runs deep," writes Allison Morrow. https://cnn.it/4lBYocs

Its almost like target spent the last 2 decades building a brand and then torched it in 3 months to please the president or something

It was too hard for Target to think of the customer before the shareholders; despite the former being the class who keep it alive through their business. Everyone is sick of Karens, Target became a big one. Out-of-touch, full of itself. Legitimizing the GOP’s issue of the day is cultural harm.

It’s in trouble partially because the boycott worked. That should be in the headline - it’s not a both sides issue.

Nice pivot to the standard MSM "both sides" bullshit. Target is doing poorly because they got boycotted for caving to trump's racist regime.

Target’s constant remodeling of their stores, makes it harder and harder to shop in. They cater to customers that place online orders and pickup in their cars, instead of the customers in the store. The people that work there are rude. Maybe just my town, idk.

The GOP has fought hard to politicise every aspect of US life. Everything from public health to the weather to what you buy and where you buy it. And the folks that hurt the worse for it all are the workers and the businesses. Why anyone votes for the GOP is truly a mystery.

Target is boycotted by both sides like Starbucks and that is a difficult place to be. I personally refuse to boycott anywhere that is also being boycotted by MAGA.

Target never had a right-wing christian base, yet they caved when they yelled and lied. They went further - and happily and quickly did the 'obey-in-advance' dance. This isn't about its offering or Amazon competition. They chose to destroy their brand out of fear. "Cool collabs" won't save them.

Nah, this is just trying to take importance out of the costumer. It was because they caved to a government that stands for everything their customers don’t. You side with them, you lose costumers. And if there are no costumers you have no business. Easy.

Target is headquartered in the Twin cities, the minute they started bending the knee to that orange fascist pedo felon, Minnesotans stopped supporting them. You either support MN liberal values or your company can move their headquarters and their stores and hope to compete with the garbage Walmart.

They were slow to react to changing demands during prime lockdown years. At one point they had too many tvs. At another point desks. The death knell was caving to DEI. They thought they could reverse fortunes chasing Trump. It backfired spectacularly.
