Donald Trump, Jr.: We Should End the Boycott Of Our Very Conservative Friends at Budweiser
Donald Trump: Ron DeSantis Must Stop Hurting Our Very Good Friends at Disney

I was going to skip the Donald Trump, Jr. thing in the interests of blog peace.

Until Donald Trump himself made it clear that he's willing to side with leftwing woke corporations if it can help him defeat the man who is obviously his superior in every way.

Donald Trump, Jr. apparently got a call from Budweiser executives who mentioned to him that Anheuser-Busch donates to Republicans... and Trump.

As Michael Knowles points out, almost every corporation has given about evenly to both parties, "greasing the wheels" for a future time when they will need political favors. This doesn't make the corporations "conservative," particularly when they're giving to the parties evenly. Donald Trump, Jr. thinks it's amazeballs that Budweiser is giving "about 60%" to Republicans.

Even if that's true, okay, they're giving 60% to Republicans -- and then giving millions and millions in free transgender propaganda to the left.

This is a win? Cheap date "conservatives" destroy the movement.

Anheuser Busch is scrambling to lull conservatives back to sleep, but only with empty non-statements and empty visuals of Clydesdales and barns. Matt Walsh asks, why would we end the boycott now when it's obviously working, and we're experiencing the closest thing to a win we've seen in the corporate front of the Culture War?

Ah, but of course, if you're a born-and-bred liberal New Yorker, you're not interested in the Culture War. You think that's something that unfashionable Christians bother themselves with.

Then Donald Trump decided that he is willing to partner with the Disney Devil himself if it gets him just some juicy likes on ~~Twitter~~ "Truth" social. He agrees with all the liberals attacking DeSantis that his battle with Disney is merely "a political STUNT" and "unnecessary," because of course liberals always think it's unnecessary for conservatives to fight back in the Culture War.

I'm waiting for "Sundance's" analysis about how DeSantis taking on Disney proves that he's a "Managed Principal" owned and operated by the corporate establishment, whereas Trump sticking up for his corporate fwenz proves that he's a Fierce Independent Who Just Wants to Do What's Right.

Let's get this out of the way as well: a pro-Trump PAC has been running Democrat-like ads against DeSantis, accusing him of wanting to cut entitlements.

And also hitting him for sticking his fingers into pudding, instead of putting his fingers where they should obviously be put, into the grody vagina of a porn star.

The Young Turks really loved the Trump PAC's attack on the best Republican candidate:

CNN and Jake Tapper love the ad. Jonah Goldberg calls it "brilliant."

Wait, who's the "Managed Principal" of the global corporatists here?

Entitlement reform is something that gets periodically considered.

Say, you know who else considered entitlement reform and said that cuts to entitlement were "on the table"? Oh right, Donald Trump.

As this pro-DeSantis PAC ad reminds everyone:

Jake Tapper notes -- or claims -- that every budget submitted by Trump called for cuts to entitlements.

Another ad points out Trump's penchant for supporting Democrat-crafted gun control measures, and mocking Republicans for being unwilling to "stand up" to the NRA:

Note that the Young Turks defend Trump there, too. They praise Trump for propsoing some "pretty reasonable" gun control laws.

It's almost as if they support the candidate they know the Democrats can beat or something.

Trump has in fact questioned why the GOP protects the AR-15 from an "assault weapon" ban, saying "I don't know why anyone needs an AR-15."

As president, Donald Trump privately pushed for banning AR-15-type rifles, according to a new report. Trump was -- and is -- a big defender of Second Amendment rights. So the new revelation is surprising that he tried to renew the "assault weapon" ban during his first two years in office.
The news about Trump is buried in a lengthy story in The Washinton Post on Monday about AR-15 style rifles. The report says he tried multiple times in 2018 and 2019 to get support for a federal "assault-weapon" ban.

In the summer of 2019, after back-to-back mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso involving an AR-15-style pistol and an AKM-style rifle, Trump told aides that he wanted to ban AR-15s, according to people present for the statements.
"I don't know why anyone needs an AR-15," Trump told aides as he flew on Marine One to the White House in August 2019, according to a person who heard his comments.
As one former official put it in describing the real estate developer turned politician, "His reflexes were a New York liberal on guns. He doesn't have knee-jerk conservative reflexes."
But Trump was also petrified of the NRA and others taking him on, former advisers said, and heard from a number of advisers that it would be unpopular. Trump ultimately stopped entertaining the idea of working with Democrats on gun control later that year, when he was caught in a scandal over his now-infamous phone call with Ukraine's president.
"F--- it, I'm not going to work with them on anything. They're f---ing impeaching me," Trump said in one Oval Office meeting, according to a participant.

You can say "but that's the Washington Post" but that DeSantis PAC ad has Trump repeatedly declaring on video that he is willing to "stand up to the NRA" and he attacks other Republicans for being "afraid" of the NRA.

Also, the Young Turks video defends Trump, but does so by quoting a 2019 New York Times article which uses NRA head Wayne LaPierre as a source. LaPierre brags that he talked Trump out of supporting Democrat-style gun control laws.

Summarily, yes. I don't think there was much chance of a Republican Presidential victory in 2024. Despite Biden's abysmal polling numbers (which are probably worse than reported), the possibility of a "win" is dim when the voting is rigged in the swing states.

Yeah there's a lot of outrage that anyone would dare attack Trump, who has of course not attacked anyone.

He's only "a counterpuncher," his defenders claim, as he continues making gross attacks without provocation.

Well, the provocation is that someone viable is daring to challenge him.

Any other time not so much, as I recall both you and I had severe reservations that on getting power he would play "let's make a deal" with the democrats.

Luckily the mule was too stupid to take the deals which likely would have destroyed the GOP as a political force with every Trump "success" he would have sold us out on.

Trump signals he is still desperate to be "a deal maker" with people who want the power to control your child's sexual development behind your back.

DeSantis said he didn't want involvement in that war, Trump said he would talk to Putin and then decide whether he would continue funding the Ukrainians.

You guys always just ignore Trump's actual words and claim he supports whatever you think he should support. When he tells you he's on The Other Side, you just blow it off like "oh who can take Trump's bullshit as having any meaning."

88 Matt Walsh asks, why would we end the boycott now when it's obviously working, and we're experiencing the closest thing to a win we've seen in the corporate front of the Culture War?

Because the right doesn't have the stones or the stamina for a real boycott? See Target, NFL, MLB and Chick-Fil-A for starters. I guarantee you that by this time next year, A-Bs stock price will be back where it was before all this noise and Bud Light will be posting record sales.

And if I thought 'voting' was anything more than a sick joke, I'd care about Trump v DeSantis, but I don't. Two huffing, puffing clowns who haven't a chance in hell of being elected.

94 As Michael Knowles points out, almost every corporation has given about evenly to both parties, "greasing the wheels" for a future time when they will need political favors. This doesn't make the corporations "conservative," particularly when they're giving to the parties evenly. Donald Trump, Jr. thinks it's amazeballs that Budweiser is giving "about 60%" to Republicans.
++++
Here's my problem with Trump Jr's position on this. Even assuming that he is correct and that InBev is a major ally to the Republican Party and that deliberately weakening InBev through a general boycott would be bad for the Party, I still can't agree with him.

Assume everything is true. InBev is a major backer of the GOP and this disaster was actually a rogue executive acting without authority. They are a stalwart ally of the Party. Saying that "because they are good to the Party, they should not be punished with a boycott" is something that does not work on me. I don't care. The GOP is not on my side. The GOP is not a conservative party. The GOP is not interested in anything different from what the DNC pursues. They are assholes, too. Hurting InBev will hurt the GOP? Two birds, one stone.

He has to, of course, because of money, but he becomes more inauthentic every day. He is using the force of law against a corporation, not capitalism.

If I have learned anything in the Trump era there is a strategy surrounding events like this and perhaps things will become clearer over the week.

Also, Sundance has been very right about many things over the past 11 years I have followed him. He and AoS pare my primary sources of information and I am very grateful.

115 In the 1884 presidential election, the Democrats sought a candidate who would contrast sharply with Republican nominee James G. Blaine, a longtime Washington insider whose reputation for dishonesty and financial impropriety prompted the Republican Mugwump faction to bolt their party. Grover Cleveland’s image was the opposite of Blaine’s, and he seemed likely to draw Mugwump votes to the Democratic ticket. As a result, Grover Cleveland won the Democratic nomination with ease.

So what's happening is that people who donated to Trump in 2016 are defecting to DeSantis, and sites like Conservative Treehouse scream "GLOBALIST LIBERALS SUPPORT DeSantis!," while hiding the fact that these same people supported Trump in 2016 fro their readers, who really should learn to not trust Sundance and to fact-check every stupid claim he makes.

In 2016, they were Good Conservatives Who Donated to the Right Man for the Right Reasons.

Now they're Soros-adjacent leftwinger globalists.

185 This is exactly what turned off solid conservative voters the first time around. If Trump has solid policy positions why stoop to crass name calling. This is why a primary is essential. Stand up and defend your positions with intelligent, cogent responses. Time and time again, that is exactly what DeSantis is doing. The people he has hired are doing it too. His surgeon general is terrific. His spokesperson is smart and witty and fires off immediate responses. His handling of the media has been great.
Best of all, I have started to see polls showing DeSantis beating Biden with Trump losing to Biden.

I cast my 2016 vote and rolled the dice and luckily fate or fortune had the left go Jihad against him.

The Woke Alerts service will be backed by a massive digital campaign to make consumers aware of how to sign up and use it. The Woke Alerts project is a dynamic extension of the Consumers First Initiative, in which Consumers’ Research called out companies including Coca-Cola, Nike, American Airlines, State Farm, Ticketmaster, MLB, America Express and Levi’s for nefarious wokeness at their customers’ expense.

Users sign up for Woke Alerts through the Consumers’ Research website. Subscribers will be notified by text message when companies cave to the woke mob – so they know the brands attacking their values.

212 On the Disney piece, it might be true. I don't think it is, but it could be that Disney is planning to disengage from Florida, at least to some degree. The parks can't really move, but there are surely other things that *can.* Is Disney planning to disinvest from Florida where it can? I don't know, but maybe.

Even if it does, I think that is probably an acceptable outcome. Money is not everything, and the argument that a strong company in Central Florida is more important than the will of the people of Florida, or more important than protecting the people of Florida from the corrosive disaster that is American corporate politics is not a tremendously strong argument.

It probably is a strong argument for those conservatives who haven't figured out that this isn't an economic war anymore, but for those who have concluded that the culture war is *the* war worth pursuing because everything else depends on it.

I sort of feel bad for Desantis when he steps into the same snake pit that Trump has been managing for the last eight or so years. Assuming they attack him the same way. And I truly hope they do, not because I want him and his family destroyed in the media, around the world, and in courts, with business partnerships threatened and legal counsel difficult to acquire because lawyers know they'll be risking career-ending decisions, but because that will be appropriate for someone on the outside.

If they do attack, I suspect people will begin to realize "Oh, part of the reason Trump was successful in spite of all of this is because of his persona that everyone sort of hates."

DeSantis isn't. Not only did he FOUND (or co-found) the anti-GOPe Freedom Caucus, but he is running on a MAGA platform and even going further than Trump ever did. (As Trump backslides on it, and goes back to his LGBT-supporting liberal instincts.)

And I truly hope they do, not because I want him and his family destroyed in the media, around the world, and in courts, with business partnerships threatened and legal counsel difficult to acquire because lawyers know they'll be risking career-ending decisions, but because that will be appropriate for someone on the outside.
If they do attack, I suspect people will begin to realize "Oh, part of the reason Trump was successful in spite of all of this is because of his persona that everyone sort of hates."

This claim that every attack on Trump is something that can equally be deployed against DeSantis is false. Trump has a lot of baggage of his own making.

Will they attack DeSantis as an extremist Nazi? Of course. They'll say he's an even more extreme Republican than Trump... which is, of course, true.

But a lot of the shit directed at Trump is crap that is Exclusive to Trump.

264 It reminds me of the Milton Friedman quote: "The important thing is to establish a political climate of opinion which will make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing."

Donald Trump rightly saw that in 2016, there was no candidate responding to what the conservative/Republicans wanted. He said the things they wanted to hear, even tried to make some them happen, and he fought for them/us. But he also made a bunch of mistakes, and was defeated by the Swamp.

DeSantis represents as a Conservative, and has been enacting some of the greatest conservative policies in Florida. He has a great track record. He's not outwardly egotistical, he doesn't have the same kind of baggage, he hasn't been hoodwinked by the Swamp, and does not continuously come back to try and make nice with the Left/media.

Thank you for what you did, President Trump. But in the same way I told people you're voting for a president, not your pastor, I will say that we NEED to win this election, and it is foolish to stick with damaged goods in the hopes that we can drag him across the finish line.

282 >>> 212 On the Disney piece, it might be true. I don't think it is, but it could be that Disney is planning to disengage from Florida, at least to some degree. The parks can't really move, but there are surely other things that *can.* Is Disney planning to disinvest from Florida where it can? I don't know, but maybe.

Even if it does, I think that is probably an acceptable outcome. Money is not everything, and the argument that a strong company in Central Florida is more important than the will of the people of Florida, or more important than protecting the people of Florida from the corrosive disaster that is American corporate politics is not a tremendously strong argument.

It probably is a strong argument for those conservatives who haven't figured out that this isn't an economic war anymore, but for those who have concluded that the culture war is *the* war worth pursuing because everything else depends on it.

301 Bad looks by team Trump (Bud and Disney), no doubt. But serious concerns with team DeSantis Jeb-style connections as well. I will continue to monitor both of them as opposed to flying off the handle.

The bottom line: this is a reminder that the conservative base must take matters into our own hands, e.g., never relent on Anheiser Busch until that company is - economically speaking - burned to the ground. No $ for Disney, etc. We must wield our economic power aside from whatever happens with the notoriously unreliable GOP. I mean, the gangster regime is going to try to destroy both Trump and Desantis, anyway.

303 There's something very wrong in the Trump camp. Even if it's "ONLY" the backtent staff, that's sort of what was wrong with Trump during his presidency. But it's not only that.

This is not good.

304 This claim that every attack on Trump is something that can equally be deployed against DeSantis is false. Trump has a lot of baggage of his own making.

Will they attack DeSantis as an extremist Nazi? Of course. They'll say he's an even more extreme Republican than Trump... which is, of course, true.

But a lot of the shit directed at Trump is crap that is Exclusive to Trump.

Strawman.

I'm just saying that Desantis probably raped a woman wearing a one piece swimsuit in 1981 (or showered with his daughter and subjected her underage self to years of abuse, turning her into a sex fiend by her own admission). Or traveled to Epsteins island. Or takes money from Venezuala. Or whatever else is demonstrably true about the Democrat candidate.

It will be interesting to see how it's handled.

You may disagree but I think they already have a killshot on Ron. Their "he wants to take is back to 1950."

Until the GOP or Ron comes up with an emotional gut-punch, forward-looking agenda, the conservative movement is dead.

324 It's interesting to watch the Trump campaign self-implode by launching ridiculous attack after attack (from the left!) on Ron DeSantis.. before DeSantis has even declared his candidacy. DeSantis looks like a steady train that just keeps plowing ahead, winning legislative victories, while Trump flails around, flop sweat flying everywhere.

You can't exactly pull up stakes on a 39-square-mile plot where you;'ve spent billions to built 4 theme parks and 40 hotels (among other things). Where else would Disney move it to? They already have a park in the west. Florida is the only state on the east coast that never gets snow. DeSantis has Disney by the balls and everyone knows it (except Trump, apparently).

The culture war is the most important struggle of our lifetime. If we lose that, we lose the country. Trump doesn't seem to grasp that. Maybe it's because he's not really on our side, culturally. He's a New York liberal at heart.

345 This claim that every attack on Trump is something that can equally be deployed against DeSantis is false. Trump has a lot of baggage of his own making.

You are right that there is not exact equivalency, that they are identical and every single possible attack on Trump can be used on DeSantis. But you're old and experienced enough in politics and the media to know that there will be an equivalent to every Trump attack that will be made on DeSantis.

George Bush the younger was one of the most amiable, forgiving, get along guys in politics, and they turned him into Satan so bad that even a lot of people here hate him. It doesn't matter who runs on the Republican side, they will be a woman-hating lunatic that is worse than Hitler who shoves grandmothers off cliffs in their wheelchair while burning churches filled with black people when he's not lynching them.

You know this. DeSantis is not somehow less vulnerable than Trump to attack -- Trump is pro-homosexual and seems to not give a damn about the tranny movement; DeSantis has made his position extremely clear on both which makes him very vulnerable in ways Trump was not. And neither can win, anyway.

350 212 On the Disney piece, it might be true. I don't think it is, but it could be that Disney is planning to disengage from Florida, at least to some degree. The parks can't really move, but there are surely other things that *can.* Is Disney planning to disinvest from Florida where it can? I don't know, but maybe.

Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at April 18, 2023 01:35 PM (t0OGg)

I don't think Disney can or will divest. They have too many eggs in that basket. But I think apart from scoring PR and some political points against Disney -- which are important -- I think any plan to bring Disney back under state control is doomed to fail.

Disney has been self-governing for decades and probably has thousands if not tens of thousands of full-time employees who implement and supervise that governing. Where is FL gonna get the manpower or expertise to just step in and do it?

Other than hassling Disney to the extent possible over shit like accidents -- which again, is important -- I don't see how FL can do this unless it undergoes a massive expansion of its own manpower and capability.

I backed him losing several internet friendships and my twitter following in the process in 2016 and 2020.

I will not back him this time, I am not supporting a candidate that is literally a game of Russian Policy Roulette that I have to depend on the democrats being stupid to push my way.

370 It doesn't really matter. He can't win. No Republican can win until we clean up elections which won't happen because the party in charge likes it this way. It allows them to be as obnoxious, crazy, extreme, and tyrannical as they wish, without needing to worry about losing voter support.

The Left's over-the-top defense of Disney after DeSantis started rolling back their special privileges confirms that they realize its importance as well.

If Trump would rather support Disney than what should have been his own side, he can do so without my vote.

At this point, I don't care about the Trump/DeSantis wars.

I'd vote for either and be happy to do it. Becuz-

we're over a year and a half from the election. Lots can happen between then and now.

However, while I don't think either can lock in a defined vote at this time. It is possible to piss off people so much that they won't vote for you.

That's the danger. That's why the mobys and shit-trolls always appear in these threads, they want to get you to harden your views against Trump and/or DeSantis.

____

DeSantis is using his power to make life better for the citizens in his state in ways that one would hope would be a model for squishy R governors to emulate. Maybe if Trump explained in an articulate, convincing way why this assessment of DeSantis is wrong and what DeSantis should be doing instead that would make him even more popular in his state would be a better approach. Pissing people off who think DeSantis is doing it right will painfully prolong the time it takes to coalesce around Trump. Too bad Trump doesn't recognize this.

George W. Bush does seem like a genuinely kind person, in his private life. I do not view him as Satan for that reason.

I view him as a Judas, because even though he seems to be a decent person in most regards, he gave the warmongers everything they wanted on a silver platter, got us into two useless "forever wars" that frittered away trillions over decades, signed the PATRIOT Act, and generally did everything possible to benefit the globalists at great expense to America and the average American.

Our country is in an objectively worse position, domestically and globally, for his policies.

According to surveys conducted by Edison Research and published by The New York Times, Trump has boosted his share of the Black vote by 4 percentage points since 2016, when just 8 percent of Black voters supported him.

The commander-in-chief has also seen his backing among Hispanic and Latino voters jump by 4 points over his first term, with 32 percent telling exit pollsters they backed Trump on Tuesday compared to the 28 percent who said so in 2016."

The ruling class finds things like beer boycotts and hassling multinationals with regulatory games mildly amusing. To annoy them would require actions like shutting down ports, preventing Ukrainian supplies from being produced/transported, accidentally impairing electrical lines to Silicon Valley (ie, Big Brother), providing plans to inner city youths that would actually produce profits for these underprivileged pets (like pillaging Manhattan or Malibu). When a regime loses its right to rule, the law loses its ethical import.

Some of the other justices are getting on in years too. So we lose the Court. Then we can count on another 10-20 million illegals over the border, making them all citizens, etc., etc.

A non-Trump candidate at least has a shot at winning because the GOP establishment won't actively undermine him. To beat the establishment, you need at least a few allies.

Every election worker in America will work his butt off to make Trump lose. You can stuff ballot boxes if you think you're fighting Hitler. The motivation to cheat won't be as strong with anyone else. Still a long shot, but least a shot.

511 >>>261 “ did you miss the part where he said this battle with Disney was "unnecessary" and just "a political STUNT!" ? ”

Seems to be a dig at his failure so far and a disagreement in tactics. Trump knows his negotiation tactics are the best, just ask him. He probably would’ve criticized RDS even if he was successful. This is just the way he is.

Keep electing lawyer/politicians though!

513 Trumps going to prison so this entire post acting like politics is still a thing and elections will be on the up n up is a joke. I mean go ahead and stroke your pecker over this but his capitulation and about face might just have a whole hell of a lot to do with saving his family and his own ass from being destroyed because that is what we are witnessing. Ace and everyone all caught up in petty personal conflict over someone whose goose is cooked whether he fights the good fight we’d expect or not……either way he’s fucked. A lot of us would probably be doing the same thing to prevent sitting in a cell and having your family destroyed. We may never know and once the left puts him behind bars it won’t matter.
This post will have to be revisited when the Republican primary gets underway and Trump is nowhere to be seen and just an afterthought. It’ll be as pointless then as it is now.

Benny Johnson interviewed Desantis yesterday where he said his favorite beer is Guinness, the beer company that is full on tranny brigade and had that gay-ass commercial of a grandfather trooning out with his grandson.

I also find all these posters talking about how Trump can't win "and his supporters secretly know it too" are so full of shit they're hiding their own hatred of Trump in a projection of what they want to happen, because they're tired of mean tweets (with the best four years I've lived under in my life) and would rather be Michael Steele level of limp dick republicans.

520 What has DeSantis shown he can win, XTC? Florida? Trump won it twice. Big deal.

Removing a DA? When he had all the cards? Wow. Very impressive.

Yelling at Disney, getting cucked, and yelling some more in response? Very impressive. Watch the playbook being used against Ron re: Disney. The entire media has mocked and laughed at him over Disney's silly shenanigans. I thought he was supposed to deliver wins, not endless squabbles that look more and more petty and pointless. If this is how he operates, you're going to be mocking DeSantis in the same way before too long.

DeSantis is back to being down to Trump by how much again, btw? He needs to actually beat Trump first.

522 513, Trump isn't going to prison. Look up the word "Kayfabe". Everything about Trump's presidency is part of the act. It's all staged. Trump is part of the same group destroying us. He came in talking tough, but he didn't finish the wall, didn't drain the swamp, authorized the Great Reset/WEF vaccine, and then like the pied piper led everyon to their arrest on 1/6. This "indictment" was the best thing to happen to Trump and the deep state. He gets the dopamine rush from the attention, and Biden/Obama/Soros carry on.

Trump was going to "fight" the stolen election, instead raised money to refurbish his plane. And that's because he knew and didn't care that the election was stolen. It was all part of the plan. And now the swamp is more powerful than ever, using the FBI in SWAT gear to go after Catholics for praying. It's over.

If the powers that be decide DeSantis should be the nominee, so what? He' a RINO, supported by Paul Ryan, US Chamber of Commerce. Like Reagan and Dubya he is a big tough do-right governor. As president he will be something much, much less (Reagan gave us our immigration crisis with his 86 amnesty).

It's over.

527 Since every narrative about the Afghan and Gulf wars was a total lie, it is certainly plausible that we had prisoners at Guantanamo Bay who shouldn't have been there.

A prisoner there detailed how DeSantis laughed when he was force fed Ensure and barfed it up. This after DeSantis said he was to ensure their safety.

He's a psycho.

People keep citing his recent rise in support, which is obviously... a temporary thing as Republican are really outraged at the prosecution. Including DeSantis supporters like me. (Including DeSantis, actually.)

But obviously this isn't going to stick.

Karl Rove claims a new poll shows Trump losing 4% of Republicans post-indictment, and post-the-rally-round-the-flag-effect after the indictment.

Trump's running on the prosecution as if it's some kind of achievement. And it's not. It won't last

Because George Will and Chris Stirewalt have a better sense of what GOP primary voters want than the Bushie (Murdoch financed) Boy Genius Rove.

536 Anyone else notice that in all the faux rage being generated over President Trump's remarks on Desantis vs Disney, not once does DJT take a side in the culture war. His remarks are about the ONLY topic the Florida Governor seems to be addressing - going after the entertainment giant - and are purely primary salvos against a political opponent.

That's all it is. But count on Ace (and the kneepad Desantis warriors at RedState) to over-amplify it into a "Trump is against us in the culture war" bullshit claim.

And all you silly Pollyana's on here, claiming that you're done with Trump, you're full of bullshit too. You weren't supporting the legitimate president anyway, you were already in the Desantis camp.

Seriously, go curl up with your pacies and Linus blankets and stop your propaganda campaign.

538 I can't support Trump if he won't fight Disney. This ridiculous contrarianism with DeSantis is going to make him lose.

Posted by: Bevel Lemelisk at April 18, 2023 01:18 PM

President Trump (or Ron DeSantis) is going to lose in 2024, but not because of anything he says or does. The 2024 election result is predetermined. Just as the 2020 result was predetermined and just as the 2022 Arizona Governor election was predetermined and the 2022 Pennsylvania Senate election was predetermined.

The 2024 election rigging and steal is going to happen. All that is happening now is the Deep State is working to weaken every Republican candidate so the Deep State does not have to work as hard to rig and steal 2024 as they did to steal 2020 and 2022. By encouraging infighting and chaos among their enemies and the electorate of their enemies, their plan is working perfectly.

Posted by: Clyde Shelton at April 18, 2023 04:54 PM (Do5/p)

539 I agree with Clyde @ comment 538. Stick with proven axioms.
1. When The Deep State operates, it operates covertly in lies and lawlessness and overtly in lawfare.
2. When they find a weapon that is affective, the left does not put it down.
3. The root of all evil is the love of money. so follow the money. Always follow the money.

540 Because the right doesn't have the stones or the stamina for a real boycott? See Target, NFL, MLB and Chick-Fil-A for starters. I guarantee you that by this time next year, A-Bs stock price will be back where it was before all this noise and Bud Light will be posting record sales.

Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at April 18, 2023 01:20 PM

Exactly correct. Conservatives don't boycott. They virtue signal for a few days or weeks and then go back to normal behavior.

Look at the NFL and MLB as prime examples. Both those leagues have stopped the main offensive virtue signaling with kneeling during the anthem and explicit Black-Lives-Matter marketing. But what they have been doing since that stopped has been 100Xs worse. Hundreds of millions of dollars of donations to Black-Lives-Matter and other radical activist groups, promoting Black-Lives-Matter narratives in their commercials and on their helmets and playing fields, etc.

And look at Disney amusement parks. They are still packed. Conservatives are still supporting Disney through the amusement parks.

Posted by: Clyde Shelton at April 18, 2023 05:35 PM (Do5/p)

541 Don Jr is admitting they need the millions AB gives them. Which is a conundrum, right? Super expensive to run for office. But the people offering up the money to do so hate your guts. Principle or victory.

Posted by: AlaBAMA at April 18, 2023 01:21 PM

Now let's take this a step further. Every corporation is Marxist-Left, compromised by ESG, CEI and Black-Lives-Matter policies. There is no corporation that has conservative interests and 99% of them are donating to Marxist-Left organizations and policies.

Next are the rich donors to politicians. I would guess 99% of them are Marxist-Left as well.

So, when politicians need money to run for office and they only money they can get is from those who have Marxist-Left interests in mind, what to do?

The entire system is rigged in favor of the Marxist-Left. THAT is the problem. Not this or that policy position by Trump or DeSantis, not what Trump said or DeSantis said about this or that topic of the day. The big picture is that the entire system is rigged. And there is no one on the conservative side doing anything about it.

Posted by: Clyde Shelton at April 18, 2023 06:03 PM (Do5/p)

543 It probably is a strong argument for those conservatives who haven't figured out that this isn't an economic war anymore, but for those who have concluded that the culture war is *the* war worth pursuing because everything else depends on it.

Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at April 18, 2023 01:35 PM

A little late to the party on the conclusion. Social conservatives have been begging the conservative movement as a whole to fight the culture war for at least 15-20 years now. As recently as 2009 when Obama was President, the conservative movement still refused to fight the culture war. "Too divisive" they said. "We can't win elections if we fight the culture war" they said.

Meanwhile, the Left continued unabated with their Long March Through the Institutions, capturing every single one. And here we are. Culture war lost without the conservative movement ever getting in the fight until it was too late. Brilliant.

Posted by: Clyde Shelton at April 18, 2023 07:45 PM (Do5/p)

544 Team DeSantis and Ace going after Trump's personal lives is the definition of wokeness. Beta males attacking Alpha males for doing alpha make stuff.

And using the "FWEEDOM CAUCUS" as a positive point for DeSantis? That conservative nerd shit is what's made republicans so damn unappealing to large swathes of America, who don't give one wit about small government principals.

We're not going to win 2024 by going after the "liberals". We're going to win by going after BOTH parties. The old Republican Party is dead and not coming back. Either Trump helps reform it away from doctrinaire conservatism to a party that stands for right wing populism or it dies and a new populist party emerges.

Look, I love the ideas behind conservatism... but I have had to face reality that the movement is dead in America. The new fight is not even left vs right anymore but rather the insiders (elites and elite identifying) vs the outsiders (working class who those who feel alienated by what's being done and said in Washington).
