We certainly hope these dozens of Comrade Kamala’s woke-infested supporters are prepared for massive backlash as Americans continue to be repulsed by the border czar. Suffering huge losses after his endorsement of the communist Democrat nominee is Netflix’s CEO, Reed Hastings.
In a shocking turn of events for the streaming giant, Netflix cancellations nearly tripled following Hastings’ endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. As reported by Antenna, a research firm, the rate of cancellations spiked dramatically after Hastings publicly backed Harris and funneled millions into her presidential campaign. The cancellations are a clear sign that everyday Americans are more repulsed by the far-left agenda pushed by Comrade Harris and her minions.
Normally known for its low churn rate, Netflix saw cancellations soar to a staggering 2.8% in July—an unprecedented increase that coincided with Hastings’ endorsement. With many viewers expressing their disdain for Hastings’ political moves, the backlash was immediate and severe. This isn’t just a blip; it’s a clear message from consumers fed up with the radical left’s influence over their entertainment choices.
Hastings’ endorsement came on July 22, when he congratulated Harris on social media, stating, “Congrats to Kamala Harris — now it is time to win.” This was shortly followed by reports of a whopping $7 million donation to an anti-Trump PAC supporting Harris. The outrage was palpable, as outraged Netflix subscribers flooded social media with calls for a boycott, using the hashtag #CancelNetflix. Many shared photos of their canceled accounts, showcasing their refusal to support a company that stands behind the radical left.
July 26 marked Netflix’s worst day for cancellations this year — an indication that the backlash was real and substantial. Hastings’ actions have led to a virtual revolt among conservative consumers who feel their values are under attack. While Netflix has historically tried to appeal to a diverse audience, this latest move has pushed many to their breaking point.
The recent cancellations are a stark reminder of the growing movement against corporations that engage in woke politics.
Conservative activists have successfully pressured numerous companies to abandon their DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives, further highlighting the potential consequences of political endorsements that stray from the values held by their customer base. Hastings, who has long been a generous donor to Democratic causes, may find that his financial backing of a radical agenda will have lasting repercussions.
As more Americans reject the liberal agenda and demand accountability from businesses, Hastings’ endorsement of Kamala Harris could spell disaster for Netflix’s future. The backlash is reminiscent of similar campaigns against companies like Disney and Ford, which faced boycotts after crossing the line into political territory.
Netflix’s skyrocketing cancellation rate is not just another statistic; it’s a powerful message that consumers are tired of being dictated to by corporate elites. As the streaming giant navigates the fallout from Hastings’ ill-fated endorsement, one thing is abundantly clear: the days of tolerating woke politics in our entertainment choices are over. Americans are taking a stand, and they expect their entertainment providers to reflect their values, not push a radical agenda.
Reed Hastings may have miscalculated the loyalty of Netflix’s customer base. But as we now witness the aftermath of his endorsement of Comrade Kamala, it is evident that the backlash will continue.
