You obviously missed the part where the VP marketing bitch shite all over BL’s customer base…

Remember the “we’re trying to get away from that frat, good ole boy joking image…”

I've been on a life long boycott of BL.

My conspiracy theory is this was planned to tank the stock so the CEO/Major Stockholders/Company could buy stock back at a much lower price. They'll lay low for a couple of years and then start rebuilding the brand.

When companies go white liberal or OT moderate, they tend to struggle. Especially when their market is white conservatives or minorities

However, they will be able to get financing at favorable rates or at all going forward.

It’s not an influenced thing, it’s a moral thing. Still have not bought any Gillette shite since their toxic masculinity campaign

Well that’s your choice.. not judging here and neither should you. But I don’t do politics, so maybe that’s what makes me different.

Not saying that it violated yours, but wouldn't someone who continues to use a product from a company that goes against their principles be the very definition of someone who's brainwashed?

Bud Light sales tanked after the company’s partnership with Mulvaney last April sparked an anti-trans backlash and calls for a boycott.


Backlash I don't think is accurate. The people who drink budweiser didn't become anti-trans. They were always of the opinion that you can not change your genetic sex.

Also, the framing of the sentence elides the point that the woman who created the campaign was a wealthy highly educated person who had real contempt for the blue collar types who were drinking their beer. She was the person punching down on a culture she despised and looked down upon.

Any company that allows their corporate policies to express contempt for their customers richly deserves to be boycotted and perhaps driven entirely out of business.

They would have lost a lot more if the boycot people knew to look up what beers were owned by the same company.

"I quit drinking bud light and started drinking busch. Go woke go broke."

Congratulations, you're retarded.

understand how insulting your core base to try and appeal to a.% of the population was smart


Because they think everyone is just uneducated on lgbt bullshite but once they learn about it they will embrace it. These left nuts really think that way. And then when they try to teach us about gay shite and people aren’t receptive, they double down. “You have to accept this!!”
