To redirect revolutionary energy from destroying to the system to just criticizing Trump. It is a way for them to gain popular support and show themselves as anti-establishment instead of the bourgeoisie that they are who need to be overthrown

Not Walmart the corporation. She’s only a Walton by marriage, and I believe her kids own the majority of the store.

They’ve denounced her involvement. They’re probably scared Donny won’t know the difference and punish them.

Christy Walton has been outspoken and supportive of the movement, but I haven't seen evidence that she's bankrolling it. She for sure doesn't speak for the company, which is more conservative.

Lol. Oh well. Now your movement has been co-opted by a huge, shady retailer.

How many aneurysms will this cause?

Not enough I'm sure.

Lol
