Idk it seems more nuanced that you're implying.
A) set aside their violence and extremism, satisfied that they’d served their purpose
B) redoubled their violence and extremism, delighted at how quickly and easily they get the job done
🤔
An age-old human primate slavering for power; when we exercise power, the exercise justifies the power. The power essentially justifies itself; if you're cruel to someone, and you get away with it, then the cruelty was justified.
It's not like power lust is a finite quantity that 'runs out.'
Perhaps some of the bigots need to see learn that lesson well.
Likely a factor in why Target is excluding some stores. They don’t want a mass shooting.
And concealed carry against a rifle? Not good odds.
Chain stores can’t count on that anyway. All they can do is make themselves less of a target (pun intended)
They’re caving to shareholders this year after a year of recovery. Bigotry has won in May 2024.

The only thing they've ever believed in as an organization is the power of the almighty dollar
Yeah, like 95% of it was cringeworthy *at best*. Target saw sales drop because they put out swill and expect people to buy it because there's a rainbow on it.
The good stuff, the stuff I WANTED, they removed because of crybaby religious terrorists.
Target SHOULD have responded by hiring security guards to act as bouncers against abusive customers, but didn't (due to costs, fears of potential lawsuits, and general spinelessness). Instead they caved.
It really is a safety issue. Employees and customers were being attacked at the stores that won’t be getting pride merch, so it’s not like you would have been safe shopping at those stores.
