The parent company for the left-wing colonialists known as Ben & Jerry’s has lost $2 billion in market cap after the colonialists hypocritically smeared America on the Fourth of July.

Looks like Ben & Jerry’s is becoming “The Bud Light of Ice Cream.”

The New York Post reports that shares of Unilever, Ben & Jerry’s parent company, “slid 0.8% Thursday after closing down 0.5% the previous day.” That equaled a market cap drop from $130.2 billion to 128.5 billion.

Remember that Ben & Jerry’s is a small part of Unilever, a massive, century-old British multinational that sells dozens of household brands.

So what could have caused this sudden stock dip after the Fourth of July weekend, a time when people consume more stuff, not less, most especially ice cream? And this was a hot Fourth of July—perfect for ice cream consumption. I know this because the wife and I were camping and had the air conditioning going full blast all day. (I won’t camp without air conditioning. I’m not a savage.)

Well, this $2 billion – with a “B” – loss just might have something to do with Ben & Jerry’s publishing an anti-American tweet on July 4 demanding America return all its land to the Indians. Ben & Jerry’s demanded we start with the “immediate” return of Mount Rushmore to the Sioux.

As I laid out this week, this is a stupid and, yes, immoral idea. Sometime in the past, the Sioux probably stole that land from another tribe. You see, Western Europeans did not introduce land theft, slavery, and genocide to the American Indian. Long before we arrived, the Indians had colonizing down pat. For thousands and thousands of years, tribes were wiped out, enslaved, and stole land from other tribes. How far back are we supposed to go with these reparations? Why return stolen land to the Sioux if the Sioux were sitting on stolen land?
