Target was supposed to be the “good” big-box store—the place with modern home décor, clothes you might actually wear and still fit in at the office, and a vibe that made you forget you were at a slightly bougier Walmart. But in 2025 they put out a PR proudly declaring they’re ending their DEI programs. So essentially, they’re out here pandering to the MAGA crowd. Somebody at Target HQ needs to realize the culture hasn’t shifted just because 1/3 of the country voted for a twice impeached conman despite his felony convictions. The country didn’t suddenly become a MAGA wonderland. People still want companies that stand for something, not ones that shout, “We don’t care about inclusion anymore! We ain’t WOKE! Come shop with us!” I mean, I’m realistic to know that the executive boards of most places I shop are republicans because they’re very pro-capitalist, but at least most of those executives have the business savvy to talk out of both sides of their mouths.
