Why would a company alienate half their potential customer base with an expensive ad?

And even more confusing; how did those responsible for such a dog shite ad get promoted into a marketing position where they’d be responsible for a multi-million dollar ad?

Because progressivism doesn’t care as much about money; they care about power. They do so by creating the perception of concensus and that anyone opposed to that concensus is evil and should be ashamed of themselves until they either declare their support for the cause to absolve their sins or stay silent to avoid ridicule. They want you to believe it is impolite to disagree, and if you do, that it means there is something wrong with you that you should be ashamed of and ostracized for.

Too many progressives get high on their own supply and believe their own hype. Living in bubbles, they assume everyone thinks like them. They don’t realize that even if they don’t hear opposing voices, those who disagree vote with their feet, their wallets, and their ballots. Micheal Jordan said it best: “Republicans buy shoes too.” T-Mobile is going to feel this one. Only cable companies with geographic monopolies can get away with straight up crapping on their customers.

Bruh, just do a Google search on the founder of T-Mobile and it will all make sense.

Money is a means to an end: power. Progressives don’t understand math, which is why they fail with money.

Because most marketing people today are SJW's and millennials.

Budweiser showed their support for illegal immigration during the last super bowl, and expanded it into an entire SJW as campaign through the year.

Ive never bought another Budweiser product and know plenty of others who reacted the same way.

I guess their new euro owners weren't worried about crapping on the USA.

No it’s true. The people who pull the strings already have more many than we would know what to do with.

The Grammys are the perfect example. Ratings down 24% from last year. They don’t care. The message was sent.

Cell phone providers market is literally every adult in the US, and it's a highly elastic commodity. If you can provide a lower price people will choose your product. That ad was dumb, whether you agree with it's message or not.
