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

What is their lifestyle?

They sell obnoxiously, stupendously overpriced bikes to old white men who wear Donald Trump jackets.

Big noisy eyewateringly expensive machines that make senior citizens feel like it’s still 1962.

What are "demonic attacks" and how can one tell when they're happening to them, or someone else? How would one go about dealing with it?

So what do you do if your existing customer base of geezers and sycophants hates the idea of you selling to a new demographic? If you’re Harley, you keep selling to the old demographic and hope for a miracle.

What is their product?

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

What do you think of a parent telling their adult child to “keep their personal life to themselves” in relation to talking to them? No reason they should say that it was mean what should I do?

But Harley is trapped. They’re a lifestyle brand, not a motorcycle company. When you look at them as a lifestyle brand rather than a motorcycle company, a lot of things start to make sense.

This…is not a healthy company with a bright future ahead.

Typical Harley-Davidson customer

Why is the US going after Canada after all? What is the reason for all this hostility?

Harley-Davidson is facing some rather unfortunate demographic realities. If you look at their sales since the 1990s, they’re looking pretty grim:

What happens if they try to attract new customers?

If Toyota were facing demographics that grim, they’d, you know, change their lineup and try to appeal to new customers.

How can you know if they are your twin flame and not limerence or obsession?

Next year, things will turn around. Next year for sure. We just have to hang on until then. Next year.

The Geezer Brigade starts flinging their walkers about and posting angry diatribes on AOL.

Whenever they try to get new customers, they risk pissing off the dudes who were born to ride Donald Trump, or at least fellate him.

Why do narcissists devour so much sugar (candy, ice cream, donuts, etc., in huge amounts at a time)?

What happens if they build new bikes?

Harley geezers love spreading contempt for smaller, lighter Japanese “rice burners,” after they’ve taken their Geritol and used their walkers to hobble to the front porch for another rousing afternoon of “hey you kids get off my lawn.”

The demographics for Harley-Davidson are just as grim as their sales figures: the average Harley customer is over 50, and the average age of a registered Harley motorcycle is about 10 years.

What can melt your heart?

They need new customers or they’re done. Their existing customer base is aging out and, well, dying. Millennials don’t like their motorcycles, but Harley has long been a company that flat-out refuses to change their products to match what people want; they’ve long believed they should make whatever they want to make and people should just buy that.

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

They’re terrified to abandon these guys because they know these guys buy their bikes, at least until they go broke buying Trump shoes and NFTs. Millennials think Harley Davidson is a joke, mainly because Harley Davidson is a joke. Gen Z is like “Harley who? You mean the Joker’s girlfriend? Margot Robbie? Yeah, she’s hot.”

What is the reason behind some people referring to themselves as "nice guys" instead of simply being nice?
