Anti-woke activist Robby Starbuck is a man on a mission—a mission to root out diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives from corporate America. His track record so far is impressive. After a few weeks exposing John Deere’s wokeness, the company did a complete 180, doing away with its DEI and environmental, social, and governance efforts. After that, Starbuck and his team moved on to Tractor Supply, which was surprisingly committed to far-left causes its customer base does not support. By the end of June, the company released a statement backtracking in what Starbuck called a “massive victory.” After racking up those wins, Starbuck set his sights on another iconic American company: Harley Davidson.
On Monday, the company issued a statement responding to the pressure campaign mounted by Starbuck, his team, and social media users.
In it, the company promises to do away with its DEI functions, end supplier diversity spending goals and its participation in the Human Rights Campaign's scoring, and revamp its trainings to remove "socially motivated content."

It’s time for a victory lap and what comes next. 🔥🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/dVA5KoYfjo

The meme has been updated. Maybe now the haters will understand that my strategy works.

We did it again. 3 for 3. The left fears what I’m doing because it’s effective. The attacks will increase with the plan we have but we have a plan and it accounts for the arrows that will be fired at us. We won’t slow down for anyone. You can support our mission and scale up our… https://t.co/MfoWyh3vXf
