Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had hoped to elevate Mexico’s detrimental impact on the U.S. economy this month by airlifting Venezuelan migrants seeking asylum near the Texas border to the “havens” of Sacramento and Los Angeles. It turns out that the far right of his own Republican Party was thirsty for another fight. Outraged that Bud Light had partnered with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, conservative luminaries such as Kid Rock launched a boycott just as DeSantis was making his California move.

WTH, this "journalist", is putting himself in pretzel contortions.

Immigration and woke corporations are both issues to conservative voters.

All these woke nonsense phobic terms are self serving crappola.

Trans are crazy. Those championing trans are crazy and evil.

Modelo is the number one beer because Mexicans are great beer drinkers. And eleven million illegals couldn’t be wrong.

Nothing transphobic about anything. We know what we see and hear.

A “transphobic Bud Light boycott”. This is the same as saying anyone not willing to date a trans person is transphobic. I don’t have to buy any product I don’t want.

Yeah and if I happen to find transsexuals disgusting, that’s not hate or fear. That’s free will to decide my own preferences.

Remember always, the tyranny ladies in Hawaii are a real favorite of a former president and his buddies. He has a special love for those T-Ladies.

I’m pretty sure this article was written Joe Biden. Or a 3rd grader. No way a Pulitzer recipient wrote this.

 transphobic 

No 'phobia' involved > trans-disgusted, trans-nauseated, trans-revolted . . .

Take your pick.

A twisted equivocating mess of propaganda here. Regardless, if Bud Light drinkers switched to Modelo, then they are drinking a far superior beer anyway. They must be confused by a beer that actually has flavor. Maybe they will begin to appreciate good beer, and start drinking some better crafted American beers than Bud Light and Coors Light. Calling Bud Light “beer” is like calling Taco Bell “Mexican food”. Apologies to those freepers who enjoy crappy, flavorless beer...

This video is a bit deep in the weeds but definitely worth a watch.

I’ve given up on DeSantis for 2024, for numerous reasons, but this is simply PATHETIC. If anything, conservatives are HELPING Mexicans to stay put, by buying billions of dollars worth of what is universally considered and EXCELLENT beer, at least compared to Dylan Lite.
