Why is Harley-Davidson dropping diversity initiatives after the right-wing anti-DEI campaign?

All their existing customers shake their canes and whine about them “selling out.”

What happens if they try to attract new customers?

Conservative old men who haven’t seen a movie since Dennis Hopper stopped being a leading Hollywood draw.

They need new customers or they’re done. Their existing customer base is aging out and, well, dying.
