A decade ago, corporate America imposed a capital strike on North Carolina because its state legislature passed a law separating bathrooms by sex that cost the state $3 billion in lost business. The NBA pulled the All-Star Game from Charlotte. The NCAA pulled multiple championships from the state.
It seemed that progressives had perfected a new form of private-public governance exercising a veto on any law thwarting the consensus of corporate elites who had outsourced their moral and political judgment to an activist elite.
This consensus decreed that the law would dictate that no woman could draw a boundary between herself and any man who said that he was a woman, a cause that the Democratic Party had decided would be the Civil Rights Movement of the 21st Century.
The Biden Administration would go on to issue Title IX regulations imposing this mandate on every school in America. (The rule change was declared in violation of Title IX and the US Constitution by a federal district judge and vacated.) Every Democratic House member voted in unison twice to impose this mandate on every public accommodation in America. Leaders of the Democratic party in the Senate recently announced their intention to introduced that mandate in the fall.
Since that capital strike, hundreds of laws restricting transgender inclusion have been passed by dozens of legislatures without any protest from corporate America. The new model of tyrannical governance by corporate and activist elites has been held at bay by democracy -- at least for now.

It feels today like something of a hallucination that a decade ago the NCAA pulled multiple championships from North Carolina because it passed a law saying there should be a girls room.
Everyone allowed themselves to be parasitized and turned into puppets. Corporate boards of directors, CEO, CFO's, that all marched in unison to utter lunacy and no one in the media questioned that they were of course enacting the consensus view of all right thinking people.

A decade later we are here, and still only a few Democrat politicians are able to make statements backing away from the preferences falsification in which the whole party remains ensnared
