This is what happens when you mistake signals from a handful of cultural elites for the pulse of the country.

I wrote simplsafe and told them to stop acting like Hollywood and leave politics out of it. I told them kindly that The NRA nor guns are any more to blame than the car was that killed my best friend.
They replied back with their garbage after I told them to stop emailing me. I won't even post it.

Not long ago, people who were smart enough to sit on the board of a big company were also smart enough to keep that company out of politics.

Good.

FWIW, all of them still have a net favorable position among registered voters.

All these boycotts only serve to drive the wedge further. Perhaps one day we will find some people who will seek some common ground as opposed to dividing.

Partnering with the NRA was a political move in the first place. I believe staying out of politics is a sound business strategy, but it's a bit disingenuous to act like this is something new for these specific companies.

How do the numbers compare to those of the businesses’ competitors?

That was probably before facebook and twitter sjw's started determining standard operating procedures for companies.

I wrote National that we'd not be doing business any longer.
They wrote back and said their decision wasn't based on politics.
I called their email BS and to save it for someone else.
Frick 'em.

Maybe, it's a huge organization and becoming a preferred partner can be strictly motivated by wanting access to those paying customers especially if you give the organization itself no funding.
So if you offered preferred rates to the NRA, ACLU, glaad, union groups, aarp etc. I would say you aren't being particularly political maybe trying to cast a wide net.
Can definitely see the other side though.

You’re an idiot.
Businesses will give discounts or work with groups who have a very large membership base for the simple reason that accessing that many members will increase sales.
Pretty much any large dues-paying membership organization, such as the AARP, AAA, National Education Association, etc, gets this treatment because they offer access to so many potential customers.

I’m old enough to remember when leftist morons claimed corporations and business weren’t people and, therefore, couldn’t have opinions, political positions, or morals.
Of course, that was just 2 years ago and I also understand very well that what they really meant is that corporations aren’t allowed to hold views with which leftist filth disagrees.
