"Nobody Expected It To Go On This Long:" Entire Beer Industry Is Shocked at Dylan Mulvaney Backlash

Yes, conservatives have been well-behaved little corporate sheep until now.

But no longer.

Now we are wolves that pack-attack corporations and tear them into little wet pieces.

'Nobody imagined it would go on this long': Bud Light sales continue to plummet over Mulvaney backlash
The controversy, now nearing its third month, has turned off a broader customer group than just those who characterize themselves as conservatives.
May 23, 2023
By Rob Wile
Sales of Bud Light continue to plummet, reflecting ongoing backlash to the brand's decision to hire transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney as a spokesperson.
According to data cited by the beverage industry trade publication Beer Business Daily, sales volumes of Bud Light for the week ending May 13 sank 28.4%, extending a downward trend from the 27.7% decline seen the week before.
At a time of profound cultural and political division in the U.S., light beer drinkers simply don't want to be drawn into another debate about values, said Beer Business Daily editor and publisher Harry Schuhmacher.
"Most people don't care about this issue and don't want to get roped into a conversation," Schuhmacher said. "Therefore they're not going to buy the beer."

Oh? They get it now?

Do they all get this now, or do we have to drive every woke corporation into insolvency before they get it?

...
A spokesperson for Anheuser-Busch InBev, Bud Light's parent company, did not respond to a request for comment.
...
AB InBev shares have fallen more than 10% since Mulvaney's social media post went live. In a note to clients published Tuesday, JPMorgan analysts said that even if the decline in Bud Light sales stabilizes, "We believe there is a subset [of] American consumers who will not drink Bud Light for the foreseeable future."
"Nobody imagined it would go on this long," Schuhmacher said. He continued: "It seems random -- it struck a nerve. I've never seen anything to compare it to, in all of the [consumer packaged goods] industry. It's a real shock."

Perfect summary by Archimedes:

Via Bertram Cabot, Jr., apparently the first few kicks of the mule were insufficient instruction for Bud Light, and it will require additional kicks.

Bud Light and its parent company Anheuser-Busch are sponsoring at least three different upcoming Pride events despite backlash over the partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, a social media influencer who identifies as transgender.
Bud Light is listed as a sponsor on the Cincinnati Pride Parade website. Planned Parenthood and the Cincinnati Children's Hospital, which medically transitions minors, are both also listed.
Meanwhile, in St. Louis, Missouri, where Anheuser-Busch is headquartered, the company is listed as the presenting sponsor of the St. Louis Pride Parade. A sponsorship packet explains that there are only four "presenting sponsor" slots available. The "Rainbow" sponsorship tier, located below the "presenting sponsor" tier, requires entities to pay $25,000.
Bud Light is also listed as a "Diamond Sponsor" of Stonewall Columbus, which organizes and hosts the annual Columbus, Ohio, Pride Parade. The "diamond" sponsorship tier requires companies to donate $20,000, a document from the organization specifies. The document also adds, "All Stonewall Columbus sponsors must affirm Stonewall's diversity, equity, and inclusion policies AND agree to donate no less than 8 hours of volunteer time during a calendar year."
Anheuser-Busch was also listed as a premier sponsor for the San Francisco Pride Parade in 2022. The 2023 sponsors of the San Francisco Pride Parade have not yet been released.
Bud Light was listed as a sponsor of the Chicago Pride Parade on a page that has since been scrubbed. Bud Light boasted that "we have a clear role to play in bringing real change and creating an inclusive and equitable world where we cherish and celebrate one another."

I saw someone, maybe a commenter here, drop an insult, saying of someone "He looks like the kind of guy you'd have a Bud Light with."

The new Bud Light commercial is bad too. A young woman in a bar picks up five glasses of beer (what a gal!) and passes by a white male who has only four on a tray. He looks sad bc this little lady is stronger than him. After all he's just a weak buffoon.
To hell with these people.

Update on the LA Dodgers boycott: Sam Brinton is a member of "The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence," which are being honored at Dodgers stadium with a "Hero Award."

Of course he is.

@RachelReneeRee1

An added layer to the @dodger fiasco.

Yep, it's Sam Brinton; disgraced DOE official under the Biden admin. Also known as "Sister Ray Dee O'Active" in the Order of Perpetual Indulgence.

SMH.

Regarding the Target boycott, the Free Beacon reports they've lost $9 billion in shareholder value thank to their trans-for-kids agenda.

Disturbed consumers called for a boycott of the liberal corporation after it released "tuck-friendly" swimsuits for girls meant to hide male genitalia and merchandise from the LGBTQ brand Abprallen, whose designer dons a "Satan respects pronouns" shirt on his Instagram page.
Falling to a similar fate as Bud Light's disastrous LGBTQ ad campaign, Target's stock dropped 12 percent since last week, the New York Post reported:

A week ago Wednesday before the controversy erupted, Target's stock closed at $160.96 a share, giving the big-box chain a market capitalization of $74.3 billion.
As of early trading on Thursday, however, shares of the company were trading off 1% at $141.76 -- capping a weeklong tumble that has shrunk the "cheap chic" discount retailer's value to $65.3 billion.
That amounts to a 12% drop that has shaved a whopping $9 billion off the company's market capitalization.

Target moved the trans-for-kids propaganda to the backs of some stores -- and then attacked their own customers as potentially violent.

Target has since backtracked on its latest marketing plan, removing Abprallen items and moving its "Pride" collection to the back of stores in some states.
Target said in a statement to Reuters it was adjusting its marketing plans for the "safety" of its employees "given these volatile circumstances."

Hey, violent thugs -- shop at Target. We're having a sale on frozen chicken fingers, you lowbrow criminal brutes.

Then they celebrated the anniversary of the deification of St. George Floyd.

In an internal email sent to employees Thursday, Target thanked their "frontline teams and the LGBTQ community" for the "care you've shown each other" as "yesterday was a very hard day for Target." It went on to acknowledge that "today brings more reflection, pain, and the need for continued care" as the team reflects on the anniversary of George Floyd's death three years ago Thursday.

Bud light: shocks and insults their customers.
Target: hold my beer.

This guy says that Target can be turned insolvent, forced to change its Trans For Children agenda, or forced into a hostile takeover -- if 20% of its suburban customers just stop shopping at Target and go back to shopping at Walmart or normal grocery stores.

A thread on how to #TargetTarget in the #targetboycott.
I went through their recent financials and here's the TLDR:
Suburban grocery and consumables are keeping them alive.
A 20% drop in those sales forces change or bankruptcy in 12 months.

From Target's 8-K (a quarterly filing with the SEC where they report results from operations to shareholders) ...

Some interesting things to know 🧵 pic.twitter.com/eZJlhqWBwA
— Cody Penn-Dent has the TP & Menthols 🧻🧻🔥🍿🔥🍿 (@codypd) May 25, 2023

1) Target has become reliant on selling groceries, cosmetics and other items that people consume regularly and return to the store to buy out of habit.
Their traditional business of clothes and seasonal items has shrunk in terms of size and profitability
2) They are seeing a significant profitability impact from *theft*.
The retail management term is "shrink" because inventory "shrinkage" can be from things other than theft, like breakage in warehouses and whatnot.
But the half billion in new costs are theft as they describe.
From this we can see that Target, which has ~ 500 million shares outstanding and ~$7 per share profitability, that the biggest recent threat to keeping stores open is theft in cities.
They make mention of keeping those stores open to serve those communities.
So the suburban stores have the profits that are paying for the metropolitan theft farms they operate.
They have a 5% margin to work with.
This all spells a huge disaster if suburban grocery (and other consumables) shoppers move their business back to grocery stores or Walmart.
A 20% reduction in that business segment would pretty much force them to close all their urban theft farms.
It would also cripple their growth strategy (which is centered on suburban grocery traffic) and require a completely new strategy.
Who are those customers?
Moms.
They, so far, have been attracted to Target's progressive politics. They'd rather be seen at Target than at Walmart.
That has to change. Many will be MORE motivated to buy at Target from this. But others won't.
20%. That's the goal.
And one last bit to add:
Target just announced its quarterly results this week.
They weren't great. The theft is really hurting their business. That is part (or maybe all) of what is hitting their share price.
Target is over 80% institutionally owned. They won't sell off on a whim.
Only 3.5% of their shares are held short. That means only a small group of people have been betting against Target.
That, it turns out, makes them all the more vulnerable.
/end

Thanks to weft-cut loop for that.

There was an unsuccessful call for a boycott of Jack Daniels in April. The boycott would have concerned a Drag Queen promotion they did in 2021.

The whiskey giant Jack Daniels now faces calls for boycotts over a 2021 ad campaign that featured drag queens from Ru Paul's Drag Race.
The "small town, big pride" campaign enlisted drag queens from the TV show to "produce a series of videos called Drag Queen Summer Glamp, which was released during pride month," according to Newsweek.
The episodes and other promotional material have been available on the company's website, which says: 'Jack Fire and Pride go together like cinnamon and whiskey.'
Despite the campaign being publicized for 22 months, Jack Daniel's support for the LGBTQ+ community is receiving fresh scrutiny now transgender rights and liberties are a key issue of contention in the culture wars.
A spokesperson for Jack Daniel's told Newsweek that the distillery makes products "with everyone in mind, including the LGBTQ+ community. As a longtime champion of the LGBTQ+ community, Jack Daniel's celebrates individuality and living life boldly on your own terms."

It might be time revive that boycott.

I published part of this already, but I have an update to it.

A man is suing a yoga studio because they told his pervert ass to clear out of the women's changing rooms.

A transgender woman sued a New York City yoga studio on Monday after being asked to exit the women's locker room at the studio and being told to use the men's facilities, according to a court filing.
Ali Miles, also known as Dylan Miles, according to the complaint, is suing Hot Yoga Chelsea for $5 million after management asked Miles to exit the women's locker room following a yoga class.
Hot Yoga Chelsea management prohibited Miles from using the Women's facilities, according to the filing.
"Miles sat down with the manager and owner and specifically told the manager about Miles' gender status, and informed that Miles most closely aligned with female gender identity and that Miles intended to and wished to use a private non-gender specific restroom and locker room.," the filing said.

"Most closely aligned." You're up in the air but you mostly come down on the Fake Woman side. And now everyone has to "respect" this.

After the yoga class, Miles entered the women's locker room and other women "complained" about Miles "presence," according to the filing.
This filing is the third gender-identity discrimination lawsuit Miles has filed in 13 months, the New York Post reported.

In other words, he's doing what that tranny is doing to Masterpiece Bakeshop -- finding the businesses where his dick is not welcome around naked women, making them uncomfortable to get kicked out, and then suing.

Hot Yoga Chelsea management allegedly told Miles to use the men's facilities after being escorted out of the women's locker rooms.
"Miles' use of single-gender locker room and bathroom labeled Men, made Miles suffer shame, humiliation, and frustration. Miles, against Miles' wishes and intent, was forced to use a locker room and bathroom that was not most closely aligned with Miles' gender," the filing read.

The update is that, according to Megyn Kelly, this does in fact appear to be a "serial litigant," someone who just hops from business to business hoping to be "discriminated against," so it can sue. Kelly reports that this thing engaged in what can be construed to be behavior of a calculatedly-outrageous nature, designed specifically to cause the women in the studio to complain, so that the studio would bar him from using the women's locker rooms. Apparently he was letting his Dick Flag flap about with no efforts at all to conceal it, and reportedly was crouching down at the showers, allegedly so he could peek under the curtains and spy on the women showering.

I kind of hope he wins -- I want all businesses to leave New York City.

And it's not even " " " Pride " " " month yet, people.

What horrors await us. What horrors await.

Most people DO care about the issue, but don't have a good way to show it (without risking loss of livelihood). This is easy, risk free and effective. And, it is successful, so the bandwagon effect kicks in.

19 I think Gillette really took it on the chin and has not really recovered either. Its not that we've begun a new era in conservative boycotts or something. This is just an example of a product that is easy to replace and that is core to men's interests, so it was excessively annoying.

Target, which should have shut down by now from boycotts, is less so. Women will still go in that wretched place because it has the products they want, and its not core to anything in their worldview.

Look at churches: people are stopping going to churches in droves because they have become feminized and too often embrace idiotic worldly values and crappy worship service practices. This hits the core of conservative worldview, and people turn away.

Then each additional time a consumer goes to the store to buy beer and doesn't buy his usual Bud Light, it becomes easier to buy something else.

Pretty soon his usual is Miller or Pabst or whatever, and Bud Light simply isn't in the equation.

26 I think the Dylan Mulvaney type, not really a transgender, just a poser looking for clicks is killinig their movement. Sam Brinton is another example. The whole non binary shtick makes no sense. The homosexual mantra that people are born that way so you have to accept this has fallen by the wayside. Now anybody can decide at any point in life that they like sex in multiple ways and you have to accept their perversions because they can't decide of they are straight or gay or like multiple partners or are exhibitionists or just like to cross dress and on and on.

Yes, it is. It is a real shock and it appears random. This is true. It essentially *was* random. The Mulvaney shit was not really any worse than the average woke-ass corporate virtue signal. It wasn't special. It was routine. That is the bitch of it.

48 In all these cases of Trannies getting kicked out of women's locker rooms the trannies always act like old men in men's locker rooms, walking around naked and making sure the whole place sees them shaking their dick around.

The Democrats and these trannies now completely support sexuality harassing women, and then acting like the victim when called out on it. How quickly that "me too" movement clammed up when their harassers put a wig and some lipstick on.

Short term ? Yes - every corporation needs to either be driven bankrupt or driven to change.

From field reports form beer distributors and sport arenas and I think those numbers are way low. Probably twice that, at least. they are massaging the data to hide the decline.

They look like some weirdo funhouse-mirror alien mutant spawned from the crash of the planet Buttfuck into the planet Ugly Caked Makeup. The alien from "Alien" is sexier than they are.

And it ain't the dancing or performances. Even putting aside the highly-charged sexual nature of the "shows," these mutants can't dance, can't sing, can't even mimic a normal human in charge of his faculties. It's embarrassingly bad.

Burlesque shows can be well done and entertaining. But only by talented, beautiful women. (Moulin Rouge in Paris, for example.) Not flabby fugly men who look like they crawled out of a vat of whiteout.

68 Was at Walmart this AM in East Texas.
First, they had the whole front cooler-- where they normally put their deli items like take-n-bake pizzas, the stuff they are trying to sell-- was full of 24-pack cases of beer. Miller, Miller Lite, Bud, Bud Light, and Michalob Ultra.

The AB cases were $15-16.
The Miller were $25.

Can you think of any other major brand that is 40% cheaper than the competetor? Ford selling the F-150 for 40% less than a Chevy or Dodge?

Bud is dying. The only people buying their beer are the ones that will leave as soon as the price goes back.

Trickle down economics is not a thing, nor was it ever a thing. It is a political slogan.

Income taxes are a tax on labor, you can increase or decrease the labor supply by adjusting them. Corporate income taxes or capital gains taxes are taxes on investment returns, you can increase or decrease investment spending by adjusting them.

The right has never put forth a theory of stimulating an economy by aggregating wealth at the top.

81 This guy says that Target can be turned insolvent, forced to change its Trans For Children agenda, or forced into a hostile takeover -- if 20% of its suburban customers just stop shopping at Target and go back to shopping at Walmart or normal grocery stores.
++++
Target is nearly in dire straits. The theft is a serious problem for them, their growth curve has petered out and finance costs are rising. Their stock drop isn't because of woke backlash, but I'll happily let it take the credit.

It's why I suspect that Target - in a move that is extremely out of character for the company - blinked and moved the "Pride Displays" to the back of some stores. Things are fragile enough that even a limited backlash might hurt, whereas it never has before. Moving 20% of customers is a tall order and isn't going to happen, but it also may not need to. Target probably isn't going to collapse and fail because of a limited backlash, but things are on a razor's edge anyway and it might hurt way more than expected.

82 As for the Jack Daniels thing, I don't drink it to begin with, but of all this is one I'm least concerned with. From what it seems is it's just a commercial being a commercial, lots of products do that. Bud Lite's problems were badmouthing their customer base, and celebrating this tranny as if he was a woman (since there are a lot of Drag queens that perform in drag, but still live their lives as a man)

The target thing is actually worse because they are promoting transitioning and gay culture to kids, which is basically what all pedophiles do.

117 None of this stops until actual people are held accountable and pay a price for their behavior. And by paying a price I mean that Beer Executives start becoming homeless people, living under bridges out of a shopping cart. That kind of price. Because appealing to these people's good nature, common sense or decency is a lost cause. The only thing that will get their attention is fear. The stark, ruthless, uncompromising fear of abject ruin.

Heck, it's only fair because that's the price the Left currently imposes on anyone that refuses to genuflect to their causes.

I think for the most part it use to be just a show. You'd go watch a drag performer sing some songs, do a little vaudeville act, and maybe a bit of comedy. There wasn't any attraction, it was just a night out of something different than the usual.

Then it started to morph in to these basic weirdo strip club shows for methed up gay men. I mean I'm sure it always was like this, but after Pride parades became common they started moving their perversions from the basements of Chelsea night clubs, to the streets.

Target has since backtracked on its latest marketing plan, removing Abprallen items and moving its "Pride" collection to the back of stores in some states.
Target said in a statement to Reuters it was adjusting its marketing plans for the "safety" of its employees "given these volatile circumstances."

What demographic do the employees feel unsafe around? This is where you get to eisegete your personal prejudices and bigotries.

Are they afraid of the demographic that shoots up Christians schools? Are they afraid of the demographic that has been loyally buying their product for decades but now are considering other choices because Target management has decided that preying upon your children into sexual depravity is "good for society"?

Yeah this is why i think people were originally pissed, but of course the left was positioning it as "anti-drag" when the real anger came frim the fact they were a group that openly mocks Christianity and in the most vile ways.

You want to invite the gay softball team or even just drag performers, I don't necessarily like it, but it doesn't offend me (unless its performers doing strip shows at the game)

But this group first and foremost is a hate group, but since they hate one of the few groups that are deemed socially acceptable to hate they get away with it and even get to play the victim. So screw the Dodgers and hopefully they feel done real pain from this.

On May 15, 2023, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas delivered a Nakba Day speech at the U.N. General Assembly. Abbas said that the U.S. and Britain are to be “blamed” for creating Israel in order to get rid of their Jews, and he claimed that despite Israel’s efforts to excavate under the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Israelis have not found any historical or archeological evidence that prove their presence in Jerusalem in the past. In addition, he said that the Israelis continue to lie “like Goebbels.” Moreover, he said that the issue of the Palestinian refugees must be solved, and that he himself is a refugee and wants to return to his birth city of Safed.

It isn't a conservative-vs-liberal thing in that respect. That's why the "boycott" of Bud Light isn't one. Your point is correct - boycotts seek to change a behavior and then wind down.

But if it goes on for too long - and it usually doesn't, which is why the Bud Light story is so interesting - then another factor takes over: habit. Shifting brand preferences is *hard* and companies spend fortunes attempting to do so. It's hard because all the products are essentially the same and a brand preference makes shopping easier. Just pick up Crest by default. It's no different from Colgate or Arm & Hammer, so why think about it?

Bud Light is getting perilously close to "permanent preference shift" territory. It might even be there.

So what do we need to do differently? Yes, I know that the lefties live for this shit, and we don't. But is there some way to direct fire and brimstone on our enemies, more strategically?

The left has groups that provide lists of what to boycott. If you are a leftist it is trivial to get the lists from those groups.

Meanwhile, if you do not follow the "suggested" boycotts all of the other leftists in your circle will verbally attack you.

Depends on what you want to do.

Makes a dynamite for for things like Manhattans and other cocktails.

Good solo too. Consistently ranked higher than almost any other rye. Even one much more expensive.

261 Face it, with ESG becoming more pervasive, the average company will get punished financially if they don't join in the woke messaging.
The only way that conservatives can fight back is to concentrate their boycotting power and absolutely bury a couple national examples like Bud Light and Target.
That means continued boycott until bankruptcy and continuing it even if they apologize a thousand times.
The fear of bankruptcy is the only was to stop this.

Ideally there would be a leader (Tucker!) that would pick out the national target and then conservatives proceed to drive the company to their knees. Manage to do that a few times and that would change the whole game. OTOH I could see how the Left and the MoFoMedia (BIRM) would then counter by increasing their consumption of the targeted company.

This statement suggests they still don't get it. The fact is that a lot of people *do* care about this issue. But they keep their heads down and nod politely, since that's what you basically do when you're in a society like the US with a broad array of divergent cultures, and don't want to start a war with the weirdos on the next block who refuse to put maple syrup on their french toast. So the public at large has been polite about the matter as it's pushed itself further and further into the public's view.

I find it hard to believe that the same CoNsErVaTiVeS who went crawling back like battered wives after getting bitch slapped by professional sportsball suddenly found their spines.

I think the only difference in this case is that trannies disgust normal people on a visceral level. It goes beyond ideology. Plastering their food packaging with that stomach-turning image was like running a commercial of a guy finding a dead mouse in his can of Bud Light.

Under other circumstances, though, these little uprisings on the Right always die on the vine becaues there's no effective Right-wing leadership that isn't controlled opposition to crystallize around and sustain momentum. The three-letter agencies have spent decades making sure of that.

This is mostly a fantasy. "Conservatives" are not a monolithic bloc, even by religion or ethnicity. Even if they had a universally recognized leader besides the obvious one, that leader wouldn't waste his power on trying to drive boycotts that most of his base isn't already trying.

Now, why isn't the purchasing power of the conservative majority respected, even by Fox News advertisers? Simple: a tribal Christian-hating minority that dominates Wall Street would rather forgo immense profit than strengthen the American nation.

333 This statement suggests they still don't get it. The fact is that a lot of people *do* care about this issue. But they keep their heads down and nod politely, since that's what you basically do when you're in a society like the US with a broad array of divergent cultures, and don't want to start a war with the weirdos on the next block who refuse to put maple syrup on their french toast. So the public at large has been polite about the matter as it's pushed itself further and further into the public's view.

It's impossible to argue against, too, because all you have to do is look at TV and commercials. At absolute best there's some brief implied The Gay because they know normal people find it disgusting and utterly repulsive.

Normal people don't care, same as they don't care about people who have foot fetishes or want to f*ck cantaloupes. But normal people don't want it celebrated. Because it's repulsive and disgusting.

Not at all. The InBev marketing strategy was to goose its ESG score and virtue-signal in a consequence-free environment. It didn't matter and it was cheap points to keep their internal activists and Woke Capital happy.

The Mulvaney event had nothing to do with Bud Light's customers. Hell, the customers weren't even supposed to see it. It was a Mulvaney video - not a Bud Light video - that set this whole thing off. This was supposed to be a run-of-the-mill virtue signal that was more or less invisible but let them feel good and stay in tight with Woke Capital. The customer never entered into the equation. The customer never crossed their minds, other than the baseline contempt their marketing boss had for the low-class frat boys who swilled down their crap.

Our side has a very "I don't want to get involved" mentality. At a dinner party, who's more likely to be obnoxious about their politics, conservatives or liberals?

And so that spills over into everything where we have the "shy Tory" effect. It even shows up in polling, we dont even have the balls to tell pollsters we're voting Republican. That's part of why Trump outperformed in 2016.

That's sort of why I cant go all black pill. If you think our side is ever really going to do anything "real" that pushes back, we at least need to be able to show we can make ourselves uncomfortable on a social level.

I've always understood intellectually the incentive nature of bonuses, but I've experienced it for real for the first time this year.

My boss's boss's bonus is now tied to the percentage of our hours that are billed instead of not. So, all of a sudden, there's this massive push to makes sure we're billing at least 67% of our time over the course of the year. It was such a huge turnaround from how things were run last year, and the emphasis made me think that the company was in serious trouble. Get as much money to make sure the company stays afloat! Except, nope, it was the bonus.

You're in charge, and responsible for EVERYTHING that happens. It's your job to know what's going on, and if you don't, then you didn't do your job.

Yes, of course. I made a similar point when they trotted that crap out.

But this is also the real world. The executives, when they said that it was a rogue VP doing her own thing, could have fired her at the same time, made their backroom deal to make sure using her as a (very well-compensated) scapegoat would stick, given the scalp, and possibly ended things right there. They didn't. They closed ranks instead.

477 Bud Light = water.

Around here we have one convenient Target (with 16 Tesla Superchargers behind it) but alternatives, from Smart and Final (for food and housewares) and Home Depot (for cleaning stuff/housewares) to a bunch of grocers.

The margin on groceries is stunningly thin, and the shrinkage on makeup I guess great enough that some stores (WalMarts) have put in seperate gated checkout counters for the cosmetics department.

The latest thing is lots of locked-up cabinets with a call button to summon an employee who then have to determine whether Loquetia is going to pay for her item. We don't have that here locally, but fifteen miles north closer to SF it's a Thing in a big Safeway.

Note on EV charging: Tesla sites are 16-96 Superchargers depending on whether you're local or out at Harris Ranch on I-5.

The Electrify America (effectively Fed-subsizided, got a consent decree out of VW to fund them over the diesel thing) sites around here have...four.

You become the "I don't own a TV" guy and a social outcast if you can't talk a little about sports.

The fact that those with power are shoving their peccadilloes and their neuroses in the face of folks that are the dead-center midpoint of the bell curve when it comes to "the average citizen". Speaking truth to power is fraught with danger due to cancel culture (it doesn't exist, and it will happen to you!).

So what can they do? Their little part in the whole mess. Instead of tossing the little left-over money they have from taxes and bills to the folks that insult them, treat them as a joke, and/or actually wish harm upon them, they just disengage. There's alternatives out there for food, drink, and entertainment.

It saves shoppers 5% on every Target purchase, and likely results in spending 5% more.

517 "The new Bud Light commercial is bad too. A young woman in a bar picks up five glasses of beer (what a gal!) and passes by a white male who has only four on a tray. He looks sad bc this little lady is stronger than him. After all he's just a weak buffoon."

If it wasn't for EVERYTHING people wouldn't be anywhere near as upset about Dylan because it would be impossible for Dylan to stand in as a representation of EVERYTHING. Honestly, no one would have even blinked at the bubbles, bathtub, and beer bit if the rest of the advertising was Boobs and Bros.

518 I think (hope) the best is yet to come when the LGBs as a whole finally figure out that the Ts are Qs are dragging down the brand. A few of them already have.

Posted by: Oddbob at May 26, 2023 12:16 PM (nfrXX)

Which is interesting considering the Ts and Qs are using the exact same strategy that the LGBs used to become mainstreamed.

People apparently have no memory of the bullying and terrorizing the LGBs did to force their acceptance on culture and society in the 2000s. Going after pizza places and bakeries and camera shops to demand service for same-sex weddings and when turned away, they sued the businesses out of existence. During the Prop 8 situation in California, they terrorized and outed anyone who donated to support Prop 8 and even terrorized churches who were in support of Prop 8.

The "transgender" movement is not dragging down the LGB brand at all. They are simply copying their strategy they used to gain cultural acceptance. It worked for the LGBs and it will work for the "transgenders". And is already in progress for the pedophiles. Because people already accepted the bullying and terror tactics by the LGBs, they will end up accepting it here as well.

519 Bud Light must die. No apology is sufficient, no backtracking is possible. All corporate America must be taught that "woke" is radioactive: Touch it and die.

520 This has nothing to do with Dylan ... it's ALWAYS been about the disparaging remarks that VP made ... which did not get her fired and which the company has never apologized for nor denounced ...

521 None of this stops until actual people are held accountable and pay a price for their behavior. And by paying a price I mean that Beer Executives start becoming homeless people, living under bridges out of a shopping cart.

None of this stops until the people behind infecting Western culture and nations with the "woke mind virus" and cultural Marxism are destroyed. And that is the WEF, the Deep State in each Western nation and the CCP.

Taking down corporations and institutions infected with the "woke mind virus" is pointless. Because the architects of the infection are still out there to keep doing this to each and every institution, corporation, culture.

Until the WEF, Deep State and CCP are destroyed, this will continue happening.

The goal should not be to destroy corporations and institutions the Marxist Left infects with the "woke mind virus", the goal should be to eradicate the "woke mind virus" itself while saving the infected hosts. Destroying the hosts will do nothing but destroy Western civilization.

522 I think when it comes to boycotts, etc. there needs to be a distinction between trans-activism and "drag". Trans-activism is about accommodating mentally-ill people to the point of making women feel unsafe and endangering children. This needs to be vigilantly opposed on all fronts.

But the underlying pretense of "drag" is that there is a thing called a man that looks and acts a certain way, and there is a different thing called a woman that looks and acts a certain way, and for a man to take on the likeness of a woman is such a novelty that it can be put on stage to entertain an audience. For a "drag show" to work, it actually relies on the viewers having a traditional view of gender and being amused at seeing it subverted. Its almost "retro" and I wouldn't be surprised if at some point trans-activism turns on drag as regressive.

As long as they aren't marketing drag to kids (and I'd assume a Jack Daniels campaign wouldn't be) I think its kind of harmless fluff.

523 its not a backlash anymore. It was initially. It then morphed into an abandonment or "divorce" if you will. People just aren't going to drink Bud Light ever again. Ever. They will never go back.

so congrats to AB for being such geniuses they've shrunk their customer base forever. Target, Nike, North Face, Hollywood, they are all going to do the same thing. I don't feel sorry for them. I feel excitement that some entrepreneurs have now been given the space to create and compete with these old Dinosaur brands

525 What that last guy needed was not to be "escorted out."
What he needed was to be carried out, as in, on a stretcher. Because one of the women there broke his dangly non-woman bits (and maybe his nose, too).

what part did Target Stores have in the George Floyd situation, to justify the destruction seen in the video clip?

527 But conservatives don't culturally engage in boycotts; conservatives change their habits. That's why these companies are so fucked. There is no path back

Posted by: Rusty Nail at May 26, 2023 12:34 PM

I do not believe this. Conservatives are as fickle as anyone else and have short term memories as anyone else does. And are just like anyone else jumping on a popular bandwagon and riding it for a while and then getting off when it gets boring or less popular.

Just look at every professional sports league still going strong, look at Disney World still as popular as ever. Look at the acceptance of the homosexual agenda going strong 20 years after the supposed outrage in the early 2000s.

Conservatives do not stick with movements very long. Part of that is because they get put down by the Deep State and overall culture that the Marxist Left has taken over. And part of it is because politics does not rule the lives of conservatives. We can't possibly boycott or stay outraged at everything the Marxist Left infects, because that would affect every aspect of our lives. And so all the Marxist Left has to do is weather the early outrage storm.

528 Oh, I'm just poking a stick in the ribs, through the bars of the cage.

They would have rioted over any excuse, because, as Theodore Dalrymple wrote, they jumped at the opportunity, and enjoyed breaking other people's stuff and stealing other people's things.

After all, national permission was granted by Dims: "They need to have room to destroy..." according to one affirmative action mayor.

Just wait until the 'reparation' checks all bounce.

530 George Soros and son are getting a chuckle out of figuring out what bullshit they are going to spring next.

Posted by: Auspex at May 26, 2023 12:41 PM (Zu3ok)

Yep, they are laughing their asses off at the fact that not only are they destroying Western civilization from within, but they are getting conservatives to gleefully help them do it. Destroying brand after brand, corporation after corporation, institution after institution. Instead of defending Western civilization, conservatives are joining with the Marxist Left in its destruction.

Soros and son have to be thrilled with this outcome. Better than they could have hoped. Absolutely no one is standing up to defend anything they are working to destroy. They just keep infecting brands, corporations and institutions with cultural Marxism and the "woke mind virus" and watch as conservatives, instead of trying to destroy Marxism and eliminate the "woke mind virus", they join in destroying the infected brands, corporations and institutions.

Once they are done here, they will move on to the next. "First they came"...

532 These companies have to fear their customers at least as much as they fear Woke Capital. Shaving a tenth of a point of your financing costs so you can pocket the difference doesn't work if your customer base collapses.

Corporations will never fear customers again, because customers are no longer their focus. The focus of all institutions and corporations now is The Great Reset. The focus is to push the WEF agenda. The new normal. The message and agenda are the focus. And every Western nation institution and corporation is the tool through which to push the message.

The Marxist Left is bankrolling these corporations and institutions through Blackrock and Vanguard and people like Soros and all the corrupt money out there through the multitudes of Discover the Networks organizations. The Marxist Left will use these corporations to spread the message and indoctrinate and brainwash Western culture for as long as the corporations survive. And if they don't, so be it. The Marxist Left does not care about the corporation anyway, as it represents traditional Western culture. They will either use it to spread their message or destroy it.

533 The InvBev marketing "strategy" is to fire their former customer base and replace it with a customer base just a fraction of the size of the former buyers.

The "we don't want you, we don't need you, knuckle-draggers" and replacing them with fringe social groups who wouldn't be caught dead drinking Bud Light reflects the quality of top-tier business schools today.

Posted by: mrp at May 26, 2023 12:55 PM

It actually is a perfect long-game strategy that every corporation and institution is using. Consider that the traditional right-of-center generations of boomers and gen-x are soon to be irrelevant, the Millennials and gen-z are majority Marxist Left and the USA has been flooded with majority leftist illegal aliens to the tune of 10s of millions over the past few decades.

As a result, going forward, the USA is an at-best center-left population and likely soon to be leftist population. So this "marketing" is partially an indoctrination campaign to push **the message** and the Marxist Left agenda and partially to cater to the growing center-left/leftist population.
