Will Hild, an anti-ESG leader who serves as the executive director of the nonprofit Consumers’ Research and a related spinoff group, said he feels like the average voter is increasingly becoming aware of ESG and its impact on society.

A suppprt of ESG:

“I don’t ever expect the average person to really understand the exact details of ESG and how it’s being manipulated,” he said. “I do think it’s probably going to be a climb. But I think the average person is increasingly cognizant that BlackRock and large asset managers are misusing funds.” said Josh Lichtenstein, a Ropes & Gray attorney who specializes in ESG issues. “The word ESG is becoming a proxy for progressivism.”

And back to Hild :

“I am still shocked at how much progress we’ve made,” Hild said. “I feel like the momentum is with us.”

(Ew)

So what I’m understanding from this is this is something Republicans are fighting likely do to lobbying and the problem really is that they don’t have ESG to be a widespread enough negative term with their base. I can see why they are so concerned though. If you look it up ESG sure is some evil woke bullshit designed for tax evasion and money laundering and crime in general.
