And so now you\u2019re forced to play this two-step. You got to take one side or another, you know, be neutral and just provide products to people to buy them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOr you can take a clear demarcation line on issues of the day,\u201d he added. \u201cSo all you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ben-shapiro-challenges-corporate-america-and-warns-of-potential-boycotts-following-bud-light-and-targets-recent-experiences\/\" title=\"Ben Shapiro challenges corporate America and warns of potential boycotts following Bud Light and Target's recent experiences.\">corporate brand leaders<\/a> out there preparing for Pride month. Just remember, this could be you. If you decide to step into this minefield and then you get blown up. Ain\u2019t no sympathy for you over here. And in fact, some of us are quite happy to make an example of you if you decide to become the bleeding edge of the Pride Progress team attempting to foster a societal viewpoint that damages children and wrecks traditional morality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo here\u2019s what you guys can do. Don\u2019t play the game,\u201d Shapiro continued. \u201cJust sell the products and stop trying to proselytize on behalf of left wing crap. Not that tough. Don\u2019t vomit rainbows everywhere during Pride Month. Just sell pants. I know this is real tough stuff here.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Conservatives Have Had Enough<\/h3>\n<p>Shapiro talked about how The Daily Wire launched <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeremysrazors.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jeremy\u2019s Razors<\/a> and later <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeremysrazors.com\/collections\/jeremys-chocolate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jeremy\u2019s Chocolate<\/a> \u201con the back of woke brands.\u201d Shapiro said that if companies want to keep polarizing, The Daily Wire will be \u201chappy to take money from people who feel scorned and upset because there are brands who hate their guts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you know what? I prefer an America where you just go back to selling your product and stop trying to promote the idea that Rachel Levine is a moral exemplar to us all,\u201d Shapiro said. \u201cIt\u2019s very simple. Go back to neutral and every, all weapons go away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The host said that the Left has been \u201cleveraging brands\u201d for decades. He said conservatives up until now have just ignored it and continued to shop at those businesses, but said \u201cthose days are over because you have pushed too far.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Choose Your Path<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cYou have decided that it is imperative that you become the loudspeaker for a system of morality that disdains traditional institutions like the nuclear family, that disdains the natural necessity of heterosexual relationships, and pretends that all sexual activity is morally equivalent and equally fulfilling,\u201d Shapiro added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd there should be moral apathy about all this stuff,\u201d the host concluded. \u201cThat\u2019s you. You did it. So now you have a choice. You can go back to neutral and stop with this garbage, or you can continue to walk down this primrose path. And I am more than happy to take my business elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Shapiro, Daily Wire Editor Emeritus, has challenged corporate America and warned them that they could be next after Bud Light and Target faced boycotts over their promotion of transgender ideology.
