By that point, this whole fiasco will be a fairly distant memory for all but us hardcore politicos. It’s going to take a little time to bring the sales back up to normal, but by the end of the year, it will be business as usual for AB Inbev. I wouldn’t be surprised if the marketing exec that is currently on leave is back and prepping the next campaign to double down on the nonsense.

You sure are spending a lot of time defending AB, and trying to make this sound like it's no big deal. Do you have a financial incentive for this?

Nope. I'm just fed up with the breathless reporting that somehow this boycott is bringing down AB Inbev. All that does is get us all riled up, over what is & will be, nothing. Yep. Sales dropped. They will return in the not so distance future. Especially guilty of this are the more "conservative" outlets, such as the baitway pundit.

We rail against the midstream media for #fakenews that only serves to incite and divide, but we accept the opposite without any real research or actual logical thought. We see it all over this forum every single day. The BOOMS! and the BOMBSHELLS! and the TICK TOCKS from the worst of them all, Hannity.

I refuse to watch leftist media, including Faux News. Talk to me when AB Inbev stock falls below $40. Then it will actually mean something. Until then, it's all hot air. Sure, they lost sales. Lots of companies do after they do something completely out of touch with their customer base. Coca Cola did it.

It's like the whole "Republicans are against big government" argument. Well, no, they aren't. In fact, Republicans (politicians and voters alike) absolutely LOVE big government, just as long as it is THEIR big government.

It's time we stop the mouth breathing responses over nothing and begin doing a little research and perhaps even using a little common sense to find the truth for ourselves. NO media outlet, conservative, liberal or otherwise is going to tell the whole truth, unbiased. Not a single outlet out there will.

The lack of common sense, apparent inability to do a little research for ourselves and even think for ourselves makes us look just as bad as the left. God gave us a brain and the ability to think critically. It's time we use it.

BTW, I'm not defending AB Inbev at all. I think they made a huge mistake. I do find it absolutely hilarious and intriguing when a business completely disregards their customer base to pander to about 1% of the population. That's what you get when you put a liberal indoctrinated woman in charge.

I haven't consumed Bud Light or any AB Inbev product for many years, and for one reason only: It's horrible beer. Rice doesn't belong in beer. I learned almost ten years ago to brew my own, and I haven't looked back.
