The title of this article should have been “know your audience”.
We recently reported on how The Salvation Army took a racist turn when it attempted to push critical race theory and guilt an entire race of people for the events of the past…
Events that no living person experienced nor was responsible for.
Now the organization is reporting that they have experienced a shortfall in donations….
I could be facetious here and ask why, but we all know why. These two events are no doubt related, and it shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to make the connection.
Alienating a huge portion—probably the vast majority of the donor base is never a good idea, and that is exactly what The Salvation Army did in pushing CRT.
You go woke you go broke as President Trump tells us.
Here’s more on the reported shortfall in donations:

The Post Millennial featured a statement made by Salvation Army officials, but they neglect to touch on the real reason why donations are down:
Per a statement from Colonel Cindy Foley of the NW Salvation Army group: “There are many reasons why both financial and toy donations are down this year, not the least of which is likely pandemic fatigue and concerns about employment and the future,” she said.
“We are actually trying to provide food, shelter, toys and clothing to double the number of families we served last Christmas, and in the midst of the growing need we are seeing fewer people donating at our virtual and physical kettles.”
Maybe @salvationarmy will learn not to piss off their base… I found other non-woke charities to donate to. Let me know when you apologize.https://t.co/74GAOg5Acf

Fox 13 Seattle reported on the local shortages:
The Salvation Army is facing a shortage of toys and donations ahead of the holiday season, and urge communities to find a way to help.
The nonprofit reports it gets 75% of total annual donations during November and December, and they are once again in need of support. That help can come in the form of an online donation at the virtual Northwest Red Kettle.
