McDonald’s is an American staple.
But nothing can stay static forever.
And now McDonald’s made one big change that blindsided America.
As Great American Digest reports:
McDonald’s is one of the great corporate brands in America.
The Golden Arches are a global symbol that billions recognize on sight.
And McDonald’s fully bought into the woke resistance to Trump’s first term by implementing corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
But McDonald’s executives could read the room following Trump routing Kamala Harris in an election where Americans made their distaste for preferred pronouns and racial and gender equity insanity known.
Shortly before Trump was set to take office, McDonald’s issued a statement announcing the termination of its corporate DEI programs.
McDonald’s statement read:
We are retiring setting aspirational representation goals and instead keeping our focus on continuing to embed inclusion practices that grow our business into our everyday process and operations.
We are pausing external surveys to focus on the work we are doing internally to grow the business.
We are retiring Supply Chain’s Mutual Commitment to DEI pledge in favor of a more integrated discussion with suppliers about inclusion as it relates to business performance.
We are evolving how we refer to our diversity team, which will now be the Global Inclusion Team.
McDonald’s also renamed the company’s diversity team to the Global Inclusion Team to try and distance itself from the woke stench.
“This name change is more fitting for McDonald’s in light of our inclusion value and better aligns with this team’s work,” McDonald’s statement continued.
McDonald’s wanted its customers to know that the company made them – and not serving a political agenda – their number-one priority.
“McDonald’s position and our commitment to inclusion is steadfast,” the McDonald’s statement added. “Since our founding, we’ve prided ourselves on understanding that the foundation of our business is people. As Fred Turner said, ‘We’re a people business, and never forget it.’”
McDonald’s wasn’t the only major corporate brand throwing in the towel on woke after the election.
Walmart announced it was eliminating its diversity training programs for employees and pausing funding for Pride Month programs after Trump won.
“We are willing to change alongside our associates and customers who represent all of America,” Walmart announced. “We’ve been on a journey and know we aren’t perfect, but every decision comes from a place of wanting to foster a sense of belonging.”
The woke mob just seemed like a majority because of how much noise it could make on social media and its powerful allies in key places in media, academia, and Hollywood.
The ability to cancel anyone who opposed the woke agenda bullied the majority of Americans into silence.
But the American people spoke up on November 5.
And big corporations listened.
