Why Did Bud Light Choose to Follow the Hershey Highway to Hell?

The same reason that Nike did?

Nike angers feminists after choosing controversial trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney as new face of its women's SPORTS BRA, days after Bud Light was slammed for putting her on can

Apparently, they don’t know their target audience very well. Sales will plummet after this stunt.

Damn good question.

They must know 90% of the country think this is BS, 100% of Bud Light drinkers.

I’d love to know what they are thinking.

Budweiser and all its brands are now owned by a Belgian company. The Busch family still has influence, holds considerable stock but does not have day to day control. Nevertheless Gussie Busch is rolling madly in his grave. This is what globalism looks like.

When they are woke it’s like the exact opposite.

They live in a dream world where everyone is trans, and so they can mutilate the existing image of men and women and it will all be appreciated. They aren’t woke, they are mutimerized.

Then they wake to the nightmare of customers fleeing and they are so transconfused.

Because they’re owned by the enemy, that’s why.

“I’d love to know what they are thinking.”

It’s what happens when your up and coming crop of executives are college indoctrinated leftists.

Unfortunately, I can’t quit them any harder. I’ve got my own “corn squeezin’s.”

I’ve read AB Execs are blaming a rogue lefty in Marketing.

Intentional or not, Bud Light is about all AB had going in the mass market. They just slaughtered the Golden Goose.

Hiring losers who push this crappola — and then not having a pair (enough) to say “Waitaminnit”.

These are “process people”, those who follow the guidebook even after finding it destroys them.

Focus on goal, not the process someone else has dictated that you must follow in getting there.

Or maybe they do know their target audience and don't care about losing a big chunk of it, especially if they think they're betting on a future composed of millenial consumers who are OK with men pretending to be women.

Look at Hollywood in the last 20 years - woke trash movie after movie which producers know will never have any box office appeal, but will garner praise from the media and woke studio shareholders. Look at late night television - clones of each other, all left-wing rants, tiny fractions of the old Tonight Show's audience. They don't care - they get social credit from the left-wing establishment, and that is more valuable to them than pleasing viewers and customers.

“I’d love to know what they are thinking.”

I’m sure they’re thinking that a little bit of pain now is worth it going forward. As I wrote in a post yesterday, Get Woke, Go Broke, is really more Get Woke, Who Cares. Conservative outrage has been mostly impotent. Nike, Keurig, Hershey, and the NFL have all survived. With the population of conservative Boomers and Gen-Xers aging and dying, it’s a calculated risk to increase appeal to the Millennials and Gen-Zers. The number of actual trans people is very low, however, the majority of Millennials and Gen-Z support them.

I have a theory, but I’m certainly not the first to say it

American power and empire, over the last 70 years have built us a very nice, comfortable society, which has made people arrogant, and conditioned them that they will never suffer consequences of bad decisions and bad character.

Printed money and massive debt have allowed vast segments of US government and society to promote a bizarre ideology in the name of perverted “freedom” and “human rights.”

The world is working to bring real consequences back to the USA. We’ll see them soon enough

At this point our so-called “boycotts” don’t matter to these companies (Nike, Hershey, Disney, Anh-bud, the big banks, ESPN, NBA, Meta, Amazon, etc…) because they have ALL the power! The institutions that control the intellectual, educational, governmental, entertainment, financial etc infrastructure in the US (and Western countries) are in the hands of Leftists, Socialists, Marxists, and Globalists. The “Right” has virtually little to NO power outside of spiritual self awareness. We conservatives (and Libertarians) need to STOP looking at the past as if it’s somehow coming back because in the “next election” we’ll get them…that’s nonsense! If we are to build a better future it NEEDS TO BE about what a NEW future can be (pro- God, pro-morality, pro- asset based currency, etc). This also means looking at seriously splitting the country into different countries. No system has EVER been able to re-establish its past much or less held on, indefinitely, to their “traditional values”…it’s NEVER happened over the long term. It’s time, for us “conservatives” to think about what a NEW future could look like. The irony is that even the word “conservative” derives from the word conserve which has now become abundantly clear that our past will never be able to be conserved….let that sink in my fellow FRs…🤔🤨
