Dead wrong. Transexual ideology is an American export.


You ever seen the famous pictures of Nazi's burning books? It was actually trans and homosexual propaganda, fact.

No it won't. It's why ideas like this continue to fail. Remeber the big push for Beyond Meat in 2022? Billions lost by McDonald's and Burger King and it just quietly went away after negligible sales.

As long as an idea is fashionable enough with coastal elites, it will get funded and implemented regardless of (to you and me) obvious financial losses.

Next will be electric vehicles, which are inconvenient and unaffordable for the vast majority of consumers.

Magnus Hirschfeld, anyone? You are right about Weimar degeneracy in Berlin but today all the fashionable woke ideas are coming from American universities.

I wonder if there will be a study done on this blunder years in the future? What's it gonna take for companies, athletes, etc. to realize to stay the fricking damn blue hell out politics and social issues.

Just sell your product and market it in a way that isn't going to polarize one side.

So fed up with the bull shite.

You assume AB InBev cares about their vendors or if they ever sell another Bud Light.

They are scoring virtue points with the WEF. AB’s response has been so bad, the ruining of the brand has to be intentional.

That’s a nice subtle brag. You buy cocaine by the kilo? Is it fentanyl free? If so, you need to host an OT Get Together. Just don’t tell Chicken. He’s a bit of a square that still drinks Bud Ice.

Weren't the "above the fray!" moderates on here adamant that the Bud Light boycott would have no lasting effects?

Yeah but mostly they were busy claiming the Church molests kids more than the trannies want to oh and also they don’t care about any of this anyway

It seems like it would be pretty easy for a company to avoid taking political/controversial social stances

Particularly one where they absolutely knew that wasn't the prevailing leanings of their core customer in the US.

Good question. The boycott has extended beyond just Bud Light. The entire Anheuser-Busch/InBev stable of products has been impacted by the boycott.

Boo-fcking-hoo.

Other beer companies are booming. Those jobs and contracts can just shift to them.

Only everyone drinking “on-premises”

The fact you even ask the question when it was the #1 selling beer (by a lot) tells me you aren’t the sharpest bowing ball in the drawer.
