    We’ll clearly you didn’t read what I posted because I didn’t say all beer drinkers are bigoted white trash. But I can understand the need to put words in my mouth given you can’t find any fault in my reasoning unless you manufacture it.

    LMAO, you don't see the irony here :) You are both posting about wives, only difference is you leave yours up to the imagination ;)

    How about you address the merits of my point (if you are able)?

    You say that it is against the rules to "slander" a class of people. Does that mean it is against the rules to refer to the WW2 Nazis as bigots? I know you put yourself into a real bind here but please just answer the question or accept that your made up rule is dumb and would lead to absurd results.

    Are you saying that I was referring to all white people, not simply the subset of white people known as "white trash"? If so, please do your best to reconcile that with the words that I wrote. (I know you can't but I can't wait to see you try.)

    Sure you did :) You even went so far as to label 95% of Americans that shop at Walmart as bigoted white trash. Pretty sure you have included EVER American as bigoted white trash in one post LMFAO :roflol: :thumbsup::rock_slayer: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I think at this point I'd just apology, surely you touched even some of your followers right here on PF ;)

    It is only bigotry if it is irrational. But it isn't irrational because now we have proof that the target demographic of Bud Light is bigoted. And that proof is the fact that these people literally stopped buying Bud Light because they put a trans person on their can.

    Bud Light is simply not good beer and I am rich enough to afford better beer. But sure I guess that makes me insecure.
    I guess if you measure the qualify of a person by their level of irrational prejudice you could say that Bud Light drinkers are better than me. Again, these are people who are so hateful against trans people that they stopped purchasing their beer of choice out of spite.
    By this standard anyone who calls out bigots for being bigots is necessarily putting others beneath them. Didn't you just call me a bigot?
    Yes you did. You seem to think you acquire a "value" status by placing others beneath you, and thereby avoiding the challenge to lift yourself. That's the lowest bar there is, friend.

    I don't think he plunged the company into it so much as he plunged himself and took the company with him. I think he made the classic mistake of thinking all the internet fervor in support of Trump translated into a huge base of customers that would support him and through him, MyPillow. And I'm sure there were, but not enough to avoid the hurt.

    I suggest you learn to read.

    And perhaps learn to write as well.

    The problem with these companies going woke is not that they're going woke, it's that they're doing it too soon. Eventually the younger generations will be the main consumers and while they may not all be woke, they will make their purchases under different dynamics than the generations that came before them. These companies appealing to the wokeness are doing the wise thing for their brand and long term strategy, they're just doing it too soon The consumer base hasn't shifted enough yet. Their appeals are not appealing to enough people yet and the counter-effect still has too big of a base to be ignored.

    Again, you're comparing WW2 Nazis to White conservatives who drink bud light. Wow dude, you're digging that hole deep now. You should be ready to crawl into it.

    The leftist always seem to wag their fingers at others while they are the ones who do what they accuse others of. Either they are too stupid to realize it or they know they do it and just don't care about the hypocrisy of it.

    The left constantly asks us why we care what other people do. To them I ask why do leftists care so much about how we spend our money?

    once again, what irony? I don’t say derogatory things about my wife … Bailey did and you seem to be just fine with that … I find it appalling…

    Agree, but pandering to please a tiny, tiny, tiny demographic while pissing off the general public is going to end up a business "don't do this". study case.

    Exactly. Bud light chose to associate it's image with an extremist trans. Most people don't want to be in that kind of company- and disassociated themselves from it. Really isn't related to the taste of the beer, more like refusing to flock with the turkeys.

    YOU classified yourself. YOU branded all Walmart shoppers. I only observed what you did, and how the label you put on them is far more applicable to you.

    People who are dead wrong and unwilling to take responsibility for it are weak. They commonly double down and make things worse for themselves.

    The people running the corporations are not betting with their own money.

    If it was their own money at stake, I have no doubt they would behave differently.

    I got curious what was causing the back and forth as I could only see one side — I don’t recommend this often but the block function is very useful for a certain subset of posters that have no intention of carrying on any discussion in good faith.

    Everything you are seeing is staged so you can be reported and infracted. Just a heads up

    And once you take a side, you make news for the wrong reason.

    You think that the CEO's and board members don't have a lot of stock?

    You think their paychecks, their bonuses, and indeed their jobs aren't connected to company performance?

    Really?
