    Not sure if you know this but the state of California is literally boycotting a ton of other states. But that’s different, right? And what would Al Sharpton be without his boycotts or threats of boycotting?

    Depends.

    boycotting, per se, isn't unjust.

    No, it just tells you what happens when you make a woke woman the head of marketing and she fills her staff with other woke women. Woke women apparently don't know what their beer drinking customers (working class straight men) like. This is extreme easy mode... hot girls, low brow humor, etc.... Her inability to understand who she was marketing to has cost her brand BILLIONS and has brought her brand to the unthinkable position of dropping from number 1 (a position held for DECADES). The damage looks permanent. Working people are not even mad, they are laughing and mocking bud light and there is now severe social stigma associated if one is seen drinking it. If you drink Bud Light, you are just like Dylan Mulvaney...... not cool... just clown show.

    There are plenty of stupid people in the world, and Budweiser should have known that most of there customers were idiots.

    AB hired a very stupid person to run its marketing campaign. Her parents must be yanking their hair after paying boatload of money for her to attend Harvard but yet, she has no clue who the company's customers are.

    Incorrect, their customers are quite the opposite which is why they aren’t drinking the far left cool aid.

    Aren't "progressives" just adorable when they defend trans misogynists and the Woke corporate idiots who crawl into bed with them?

    And speaking of Woke corporate idiots, here's the genius who said Bud Light was too fratty:

    Bud has a duty to the stockholders and they don’t seem to be responding to disaster caused by a few wokesters. They need to come out and do what’s best for the stockholders and come out, admit they deviated from their core customers, openly tell us the people responsible we’re fired, and hire some true American patriots to be their spokespeople.

    Agreed, but, they are not going to. They are more committed to their social standing with their fellow wokesters than they are to their shareholders and customers, which isn't a completely irrational position.

    Many CEO's and corporate folks no longer spend long careers at their company, rather, they advance through job change, and it their estimation it would do too much damage to their future job prospects, with another company, to give a full throated apology to their customers, than what they are doing, which is a straddle that please no one.

    I think they have decided to ride this out, and if they have to, they'll let Bud-Light wither on the vine and promote another brand while they wait for something else to occupy our attention.

    Well you posted that on the 16th and we're well past 15 days later, and it's down $23B. You might want to load up.

    It’s not coming back. People found something else and they’re sticking with it. Was in Walmart yesterday and while in the beer section I noticed how all the other beers had only partial stacks while Bud Lite had a full stack, like none were being sold.

    Conservatives didn’t originate cancel culture, corrupt career politicians along with their handlers and financiers did.

    I remember y’all canceling the Dixie Chicks, trying and failing to do so with Starbucks — what did the left cancel prior to that?

    I have no idea what you are talking about? I looked up Dixie Chicks and I’m even more lost. What the hell does a country music group made up of women have anything to do with this thread?

    https://evoke.ie/2023/02/16/entertainment/country-drama-explained-why-were-the-dixie-chicks-cancelled#:~:text=After a performance in London,culture became so common place.

    You said Republicans didn’t event cancel culture — this is one of the first modern examples that prove that wrong.

    Not that complex

    How far back you want to go to try to sound intelligent? Guess black people invented slavery since they're the source. EVERY culture had slavery and white people were the last to the party, since we were ALL brown before some moved north and their skin got lighter. Slavery existed BEFORE white people and the ONLY race still practicing racism today are POC. If Republicans invented cancel culture, you want to take that all the way and start applying YOUR logic to other things? Yes, the Dixie chicks were an early example of a lot of people disapproving and choosing not to support someone or group for something they said or did. But to even compare that to what Leftists OWN, it a bit silly. The sheer volume of what Leftists have cancelled is on an entire different level. But Conservatives have caught up a bit. They learned. Bud light, Disney and Target are excellent signs that Leftists have to actually think a little now about the **** they try to shove down everyone's throats. It shows this country isn't quite dead yet.

    You honestly in your heart don't know yet that Dylan is a total fraud, playing a part, a character he invented, to jump start his fledgling career? He's a theater kid gone wild...and I know theater kids=) I'm around them every summer at my kids camp. They're emotional, loud, vibrant, and very very stereotypically gay...most of them, hehe. You can be gay, but Dylan types are VERY VERY gay. They're not real. They're caricatures. Exaggerated versions of themselves. Fake. Dylan just didn't grow up. He's an adult child playing a part. Even admitted it..."girl hood"...Seriously? Grown man talking about how many days of girl hood he was living? Funny how he shifted away from that once it started getting creepier than it already was. Shifted to woman hood. The fact he couldn't even moderate himself shows how mentally unstable he is....or BRILLIANT, because he took Nathan Lane's character from Birdcage and made him real to turn a profit.

    I had an individual saying the left created cancel culture — the fasts dispute that. I see you don’t like that — good.

    Slavery has likely existed since the dawn of time — I have no idea what you think you are proving but it’s just sad.

    I disagree but thanks for your opinion

    Oh no! You hurt a conservative company that donated largely to conservatives! What ever will we do!!!

    LOL. Do it some more. PLEASE
    As to Disney and Target, you better not look up what analysts are saying — this is short lived at best and all of their competitors are doing the same.

    I don’t care.
    Dylan is a strange being that had a one off promotion by a beer company seeking to gain relevance with a demographic they haven’t had luck with. But I don’t really care, I hope y’all shut Budweiser down.

    You will not have the luck with the other two as they are not primarily Republican companies — hopefully they see soon where their campaign dollars need to go.

    At any rate, we are not buying Busch products anymore.

    Trans will not drink Bud Light. If they drink beer at all, they will be drinking the craft beers.
