Soros-Funded Groups Launch Failed Retail Boycott
Organizations funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, including Indivisible Project which received more than $7.6 million, recently ran a Thanksgiving-to–Cyber-Monday boycott campaign called “We Ain’t Buying It” targeting Target, Home Depot and Amazon for alleged cooperation with the Trump administration. The campaign gained little traction as retailers saw record traffic: 202.9 million shoppers over the weekend and Amazon purchases rose, aided by Rufus chatbot consultations that doubled purchase conversions.
