Today's Shifting Ideological Sands...

A lot has been made of Chic-Fil-A's Dan Cathy switching that company's donation platform (halting donations to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes & the Salvation Army), which comes after nearly a decade of outreach to Steve Windmeyer, a gay activist with Campus Pride.

That SHOULDN'T have been surprising considering that Dan Cathy had reached out to a number of gay activists almost a decade ago. (https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_2564379).

Dan Cathy, like every American...every INDIVIDUAL, has the right to change his views and to donate to whom he pleases.

Now comes outrage on the Left after Mark Zuckerberg's "secret meeting" with Donald Trump and Pete Thiel.

Zuckerberg, like all extremely successful people strongly supports free enterprise and the market economy (https://www.theguardian.com/…/surprised-about-mark-zuckerbe…), just as do the vast majority of productive Americans.

As you'd expect, most such people, as well as most productive people oppose the policies espoused by the likes of Bernie, Booker, Beto, Kamala and other radical Leftists.

There's nothing at all "wrong," nor unexpected about that. Like Dan Cathy, Mark Zuckerberg has a right to change his views and to connect with whom he pleases.

THAT'S what's hurting the Democrat Party, unrealistic and unpopular policies that alienate productive people, NOT people becoming "traitors" to a given ideology.
