Companies were boycotted for not promoting sexual degeneracy. The left got what it wanted, whenever it wanted. Until, of course, everyone else had had enough.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that we hit that point sometime recently \u2014 the point where the left no longer has enough influence to push society around anymore \u2014 at least, not to the degree it once did.<\/p>\n<p>And nothing makes woke leftists more furious than realizing that one simple fact.<\/p>\n<p>The most recent example of this came with the news of who made the U.S. Women\u2019s National Soccer Team roster for the upcoming 2024 Olympics.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The Olympic 18 \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8<\/p>\n<p>Full Roster Details \u00bb <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4AYdQah9DP\">https:\/\/t.co\/4AYdQah9DP<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tDWS9z7goe\">pic.twitter.com\/tDWS9z7goe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 U.S. Women\u2019s National Soccer Team (@USWNT) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USWNT\/status\/1805979622665847252?\">June 26, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Leftists were shocked to discover that Korbin Albert, an outspoken Christian, managed to make the list.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Will you watch the Olympics?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The 20-year-old midfielder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/christian-us-soccer-player-apologizes-megan-rapinoe-scolds-sharing-beliefs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shared <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-this-average-american-is-voting-for-donald-trump\/\" title=\"Why This Average American Is Voting for Donald Trump\">social media<\/a> posts in March<\/a> promoting a Christian point of view on the immoral nature of homosexuality and transgenderism.<\/p>\n<p>Outspoken USWNT player and far-left LGBT activist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/megan-rapinoe-demands-trans-athletes-allowed-compete-women-remember-team-faced-teenage-boys\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Megan Rapinoe<\/a> decried the post as \u201chate,\u201d as reported by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-13251253\/USWNT-midfielder-Korbin-Albert-apologizes-Megan-Rapinoe-criticism-backlash-admits-post-anti-LGBTQ-content-insensitive-hurtful.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.K.\u2019s Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Albert was pressured into posting an apology in which she communicated her regret for \u201cLiking and sharing posts that are offensive, insensitive and hurtful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, enough is never enough with the woke crowd.
