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

What happens if they try to attract new customers?

What happens if they build new bikes?

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.
