    Your conspiracism is silly but otherwise you’re correct

          “Conspiracy” implies something hidden. The financial backers of this event were listed in plain English on their ads.

              Yes, they seem to be attempting to avoid a MAGA boycott by saying this is a personal choice by the Walton heiress, which just coincidentally aligns with Walmart’s pushback attempts against cuts to social benefit programs that’s expected to impact their profits.

                So YOUR ASSERTION is that all the ads say “No Kings Day, brought to you by WalMart!” but they’re offended by ONE ad (in a publication that MAGA hates and would never pay to see) and that might possibly cost them the MAGA patronage?

                Explain this. In detail. Fully.

                  I don’t know how to explain this in a way you’ll understand it. I don’t have any training in teaching the mentally challenged.

                    OR…

                    It is a contradiction that makes no fucking sense

                Apparently it does not, in the context that you claim.

                  Prove it. Show me one of their ads for the event where you’re not seeing the sponsors listed.
