It always seems that it’s the left whose protests bear fruit. Just look at what happened with Target. There is a frustration from the right — how come we can’t protest and boycott and get the same kind of results?

We can protest and have them be successful, but what it requires is absolute focus.

It happened to Target when they announced, with great fanfare, that men can go into women’s bathrooms and dressing rooms.

The CEO of Target now says they did not adequately access the risk and backlash that happened after their virtue signalling actions. Customers tore up their credit cards and stopped going to Target. Target’s stock is now down 35 percent!

Real world effects seem to allude the right. We’ll begin to win more battles when we begin to fight.

I’m so gratified by those who have followed me in registering their cars outside the RTA. And we are going to continue to push on this topic. We’re going to point out the fraud of Sound Transit.

The protest with the car registration is a great start. But are you ready for more?

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
