Uh right now it’s only going one way you are living in that country unless you’re a democrat.

You’re still missing the big picture, which is, after this, will they continue slapping pictures of transgender mental cases on their products?

I’d bet they don’t. And that right there would be a big victory.

I don't know if budweiser will keep targeting the trans community, The post is meant to show how the MSM is lying about the "Bloodbath" AB is taking. AB is not hurting from this. A bloodbath is what happened to Coca Cola when they introduced "New Coke" in the 80's.

People are not dumping stock, sales arent that far off from projected, there is no "Bloodbath".

Disney has lost 25% going from $138.00 to $100 in the last year, thats a huge hit. AB , is higher than a year ago. AB is not feeling anything.

I was in the local big grocery store yesterday and made it a point to check out the beer aisle. Unless the Bud product delivery truck just left after stocking the shelves there was a very large amount of AB products filling their assigned shelve spaces. Other beers were 40-70% full.

The woke crowd that I've been exposed to wouldn't be caught dead with a beer can in their hand. They are all about hard liqueur and cocktails.

Look, you claim this has not hurt Budweiser in the least. But the point is, will they stop slapping pictures of transgender mental cases on their products after this? I'd guess they will.

If so, would this boycott not be a win for our side?

Yes or no?

@stupid/zeugma.Anheuser-Busch stock recently hit new 52-week highs despite controversy surrounding its Bud Light brand.

The woke institutional investors are not going to be able to prop them up long term. Real numbers will eventually start coming out. Bud Light is completely screwed. Keep shilling for the supporters of faggots and trannies. It helps to identify agendas.

Worth Reporting:

They also pushed ‘the envelope’ so we were always discussing their ideas. It would go from intolerance to tolerance to acceptance to being cancelled if you don’t celebrate their position. The purpose of these situations was NOT to make people ‘tolerant’ is was to set up ‘learned helplessness’ against them.

$10 Million loss so far, by the numbers The Numbers Are in on Bud Light’s Decision to Go Woke

GO WOKE, GET BOYCOTTED.

Eighty percent of Bud Light drinkers ordered something else this week, Brewhouse owner Alex Kesaris said — while the 20% who did order Bud Light “weren’t on social media and hadn’t heard yet” about its new transgender pitch person.

Well yes BUT. Sure bud light sales are in the toilet. But between the brands they own, and the subcontracted brewing they do, half the beer in America results in ABIB getting money.

Well keep in mind the picture cans were a special run and not even for sale. So there’s a question of did they really slap a picture on the product? I mean if it’s not for sale it does it really count? If Mulvaney hadn’t done the video nobody would even know. So I’m not even seeing something to win.

Let me word it this way for ya.

Do ya think after all this Budweiser will *consider* slapping pics of transgender’s on their products for sale?

If not, would this boycott not be a win for our side?

Yes or no?

You keep turning it into a false choice that doesn’t relate to what ACTUALLY happened. And I already gave you the answer to what ACTUALLY happened. They DIDN’T put it on cans for sale, they probably give these kinds of cans to spokespeople all the time with no intention of them ever being shown to the public. And really, who cares what they do to cans they give to people they pay? I don’t. Really people, it’s crappy beer anyway. You already should have respected yourself to much to drink it.
