Shares of national automotive retailer Advance Auto Parts plummeted on Wednesday for some reason, we’re not sure what it is because we didn’t read the CNBC article about it. Might be something like a major analyst’s forecast of slower business for the car industry at large or maybe a merger with NAPA or Pep Boys fell through or whatever, but our theory is that they went “woke” and are facing a massive boycott from their largely white male customer base.
We don’t have any evidence or other reporting on this being why Advance’s stock went down the toilet, it’s just that if TrendingPoliticsNews.com reports “Kohl’s Stock Crashes Following Backlash Over Kids’ Pride Gear,” then we’re going put two and two together and assume that Advance Auto Parts is facing a similar backlash over hiring a new DEI vice president or selling Pride-themed steering wheel covers or a new commercial with a lot of pink cars set to “Born This Way” by Lady Gaga. Maybe they’re running a “Trans-4-Trans” promotion, offering 50 percent off transmission fluid to all transgender customers. It could even be that attitudes are subtly changing and suddenly some conservative activists realized that truck nuts might actually be promoting a homosexual lifestyle that prompted this “backlash.” It can’t just be normal market forces or something boring like that.
It has to be a backlash by “Real America” that’s causing woke Advance Auto Parts to go broke.
