We're seeing a breakup between big business and the GOP in Georgia imo.

Like I said — the CEO of Delta basically called the state GOP a bunch of liars and nobody has really worked through the next steps yet:

All eyes turn to Coke and Home Depot.

5. How horrifying that a majority of voters in the state have no influence on this, and those voters

have to go to corporations to enforce their will because their elected officials are determined to do the opposite of the voters' wishes.

And it is the whim of the corporations that will decide voting eligibility.

But that's the world we live in.

6. Watch what they do, not what they say.

Corporations are already backtracking on their pledge not to support insurrectionist politicians.

It is the corporations who have taught us that they can sell America pretty much any line of bullshit.

"Lucky Charms is part of a healthy breakfast"?

A lesson the GOP has taken to heart.

7. Desperate to avoid boycotts.

Wait until they actually do something. All we’re hearing is crisis management blah blah blah.

8. I've already associated Delta w/Jim Crow - damage has been done as

far as my flying choices go. After they issued their "hold my hood" statement, I figured they supported voter suppression.
