The blue light specials were K-Mart, though. But yeah - they were never as
good as the promise.

I honestly have never thought of that. That's quite the insight. I know
that I myself normally respond positively to a lot of red-white-blue on a
gut level and it's only been recently that they inspire the side-eye, since
I can't trust a lot of the folks who are waving them around lately.

OK, in all honesty I was just going for a flippant and\or cynical laugh
there. It is true that there is a large set of people who won't believe
what the government tells them, but will believe what Walmart tells them.
This is because Walmart drapes their stores in American flags and red,
white, and blue color schemes the same way Russian propaganda concerns like
Newsmax and OANN do. Does it *look *patriotic? Then it must *be*
patriotic! So having Walmart actually set a good example does accomplish
something.
Honestly, the liberal side needs to step up their symbols and color
schemes a bit more, because there's a bunch of people that actually need
that and really only find it on the political right. Presentation matters.

The pessimist in me agrees this is just for show, but realistically
they didn't have to do anything publicly. They could have decided to stop
and not declared it and honestly few of us would have thought about it or
even expected them to do it. I think these kinds of stands say a lot about
these corporations that are coming forward with these statements,
particularly someone like Walmart who have a lot of Trump supporters who
are customers who could choose to boycott (or at least protest loudly)
over
this. I think this is a clear message that there IS a line and THAT was
way-over the line.
