Do these corporations even know who their buyers are?

One thing that bothers me about this is the talking heads saying the backlash about Bud lite is from right-wing or extreme Conservatives. This is their attempt to dismiss it as an attempt by a few nut-jobs from keeping their beer company from being “woke.” There are plenty of moderates who think the whole trans thing is promoting mental illness as a good thing rather than treating it.

That's how Jordan Peterson refers to them and I agree. It's a mental illness.

This has got to be one of the dumbest decisions in the history of selling products and is sure to hurt their bottom line.

Kid Rock is not a fan of their new campaign.

Being done on purpose. Blackrock and Vanguard have major stock in AB, too big to fail really or if they did "go broke" over being "woke", they just change names and re-brand.

Pendulum will be swinging soon and then the star will save everyone.

Here's another woke dumb ass idea. Use a US Navy Drag Queen for recruiting. Why not bring in whoever is still alive from the Village People to sing "In the Navy" God help this country.

LOL. This will DRIVE AWAY a lot more potential recruits. Maybe that is what the Obama/Susan Rice administration is going for. The only explanation for the way they do things is they are purposely trying to drive this country into the ground.

I started with LOL but after a brief moment of thought it is incredibly sad, frustrating, and this administration needs to be hauled in front of a court for treason. Seriously.

Not just Anheuser-Busch, but local bar owners are stepping in it.

From the article

Americans are signaling they are not down with the trans agenda. They do not want their beer politicized. The Fairfax Bar and Grill in Bloomington, Indiana, is not a watering hole for the Right; it is just a bar filled with average Americans. But the bar told patrons if they were offended by Bud Light’s Dylan Mulvaney product placement they needed to stay away.

“Unfortunately due to all of the bigotry and hatred that has surfaced around the Bud Light controversy any patron wanting to voice their concerns about the issue will be immediately asked to pay their bill and leave our establishment,” the bar’s owner wrote on Facebook. So many people stayed away that the bar had to walk it back and apologize. The bar’s management admitted it had lost business.

Go ahead, push this crap down the throats of average folks.

I don't want violence or any kind of negative action taken toward trans folks (or anybody who isn't being violent at the moment). But I also don't want to pretend like this is normal or okay. We are screwing our children up.

The media is denying that boycotts work(fake news) but in this case, there are much better alternatives to Bud Light or AB products that people are trying and liking after drinking Bud Light for many years. Have you heard about this new beer? Ultra Right 100% woke free American Beer. So far it's been a big success. Give the guy credit for striking while the iron is hot. https://ultrarightbeer.com/

Now some gay bars are boycotting Anheuser Busch products so they are getting it from both sides. Maybe this will teach companies to stay out of politics. AB is learning a costly lesson they solely brought on themselves.

It wasn’t just the fact that AB gave that weirdo such a platform, it was also what the VP of marketing said about it. She claimed that she wanted to cater to a younger, more sophisticated base. Basically, she insulted a large majority of Bud Light drinkers.

[Flacco's_Haircut]

I couldn't find data on it, but feels like more celebs / public figures are appearing in ad campaigns these days. At the same time, you have more access to these peoples lives via social media than ever before. So more and more products are becoming a reflection of their spokespersons thoughts and beliefs.

Can't tell if that's a good or bad thing overall for these companies. But clearly when you have a product like Bud, and you pick a polarizing spokesperson that represents a very minuscule part of the current demographic, well there is clearly repercussions for that choice.

You mean the Ex VP of marketing, but yep, it's the elite insulting the "deplorables" all over again. They "woke" (no pun intended) a sleeping giant.
