their public policies to align with the Trump administration,
according to a poll exclusively shared with the Guardian.

independents and 28% of Republicans).

First of all, the G is a socialist rag full of propaganda, so we cannot trust it.
Second of all, since society is divided 50/50 it won't affect companies much. I have been doing the same thing, avoiding woke companies as much as possible.
This is fine, and is a feature of the market! Please be more ideological when you buy things. The market is a tool, not a god.
