Jerry Greenfield just quit Ben & Jerry’s after decades with the ice cream company. He claims his parent company Unilever is silencing their leftist activism. This is great news for Americans who are tired of woke politics in their dessert.
For years, Ben & Jerry’s has pushed far-left causes instead of focusing on making good ice cream. They attacked police, supported anti-American groups, and lectured customers about politics. Most families just wanted to enjoy a scoop without getting a sermon.
Unilever bought Ben & Jerry’s and now controls the company’s messaging. The corporate giant appears to be reining in the political grandstanding that drove away so many customers. Smart business leaders know that going woke makes you go broke.
Greenfield is crying about losing his platform to spread liberal propaganda. He wants to keep using ice cream sales to fund radical causes. Thank goodness Unilever is putting business before political activism.
American consumers have been abandoning woke brands in record numbers. Companies like Bud Light and Target learned this lesson the hard way. Ben & Jerry’s was heading down the same path with their constant virtue signaling.
Ice cream should bring families together, not divide them with political lectures. Most parents don’t want their kids hearing anti-police messages while eating dessert. Businesses should serve customers, not push partisan agendas.
This shows that free market pressure really works when Americans vote with their wallets. Conservative consumers have real power when they stand together. Boycotts and buycotts can force woke companies to change course.
Maybe now Ben & Jerry’s can get back to what they do best – making frozen treats. Leave the politics to politicians and focus on quality products that all Americans can enjoy. That’s how capitalism is supposed to work.
