It would seem like corporations would know better than to offend a large percentage of their customer base. There must be people who think EVERYONE is woke.
“First, they must organize.”
Conservative organizations can and will be targeted.
In the case of Bud Light, it is a case of simple revulsion.
New small businesses must be created to create true consumer choice.
It is clearly possible to brew a better beer than Bud Light.
My mother drank much better beer for many decades.
I just saw a commercial of an possible male who says, “my parents tell me to quit trying to grow a mustache. I tell them to quit using wifi.”. Apparently this was trans pandering. Whatever the product was I wouldn’t buy it.
My boycott list is getting longer, too. It’s amazing how great Capitalism IS. If one vendor/manufacturer puts a foot wrong… go down the street, because for sure some other guy is selling the same thing and you don’t have to do without. And so what if you do??!!
Me: If people go along with the boycott, what will happen to the price of lettuce?
Her: It will fall.
Me: I agree. And given the lower price, what happens to the growers' ability to give a wage increase?
Her: (Long pause...) It will go down.
Me: Now, what would happen if McGovern had said: "I'm going to eat 5 salads a day until the strike is over and I want you to also." What would happen to the price of lettuce?
Her: (Another long pause) It would go up.
Me: With the higher price of lettuce, the cost of letting it rot in the field unpicked goes up, right?
Her: Yes.
Me: At the same time, the higher price not only induces the growers to settle more quickly, it gives them the funds to pay a higher wage.
Her: (Longer pause) Well, that may be, but I don't believe it!
And she stomped out of my office.
Moral: Don't confuse Liberals with the facts...it just pisses them off.
If an organization set up the Bud Light, Target or Disney boycotts then the companies and cultural leftists could have come against them. There would have been slander and libel lawsuits against them, protests at the homes of the leadership, and death threats against them and their children.
A leaderless revolution gives them no target. It is very hard to to make threats against a cultural zeitgeist. It's like using a tennis racket to swat at a swarm of mosquitoes.

As a conservative consumer, it has been an incremental process. One cause at a time. That way it is not overwhelming.
* Target
* Disney/ESPN
* Bud (I don’t drink alcohol anyway)
* Costco (they give a lot of corporate money to ONLY Democrats, so please stop feeding them)
* Pro sports, and increasingly, college sports. Stop giving your money, time, and influence to Liberal causes. Put your time toward something Godly and productive.
* Movies/TV - the major studios are major purveyors of societal decay
Instead:
* Develop hobbies (music, fitness, remodeling, lawn and garden, etc.)
* Get involved in your church
* Volunteer to worthy causes
* Take a class, or at least learn something
Both lists are FAR from complete. Do what works for you. But get started. Taking action develops your mindset.
All-State Insurance with the transgender “ woman “ is boycott-able.
So is T-Mobile, with the 2 gay singing neighbors.
blackrock is driving this
they own large blocks are most major corporations
they put directors on the board pushing this crap
The activists are pissing in the wind if they don’t go after BlackRock.
BlackRock: Masters of the Universe

My favorite season of the year...I boycott pretty much everything, because I ignore Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s...blessed peace and quiet at home.
I used to love Marvel and Star Wars. Well, not so much Star Wars but I still went to the movies. I don’t like the way they have been going, so I stopped going to their movies. Same with the NFL. Ever since they opposed Trump and America I stopped watching. I haven’t watched a combined total of 15 minutes of NFL in 6 years. I haven’t been to a Marvel movie in 3 years. I don’t watch TV channels. I don’t read newspapers. I stopped going to Burger King because they pulled commercials from Rumble over Russell Brand.
It is not a boycott. I don’t expect them to change and in fact I expect them not to change. It doesn’t matter what they do. I simply will not participate in their economy. This is a permanent change. I don’t know how to make it more clear to people who insist on calling these changes “boycotts.” It just means they don’t understand what s happening. When I refuse to read their pieces, I am not boycotting them. I don’t expect them to change.
Leftists use threats and boycotts to force producers to behave a certain way. After the behavior changes they don’t go back to using the product because they weren’t using it in the first place. Companies that acquiesce to boycott protests do so to avoid negative publicity.
Conservatives see a “transgender influencer” on their beer can throw the can away with the beer still in it. Leftists aren’t the ones drinking beer anyway. They like wine. The disgust of the people who find their beer is propagandizing for deviant behavior will not unfeel that disgust for a very long time after the “transgender influencer” is long gone from the can and has tired of dressing like a girl and has gone back to being a guy.
“The data also indicate an additional benefit to having a large, professionally staffed activist organization lead the boycott. These “social movement organizations,” which have proliferated on the left, help garner media coverage, recruit high-profile allies, pressure corporate executives, and orchestrate on-the-ground protests to create additional leverage. “
This is how the left has been successful at installing their agenda. They are pros at this. Our side doesn’t even qualify as amateurs.
Activists define the agenda.
They understand very well that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
