Bud Light suffers bloodbath as longtime and loyal consumers revolt against transgender campaign

Bud Light suffered a bloodbath this past weekend.

Consumers nationwide revolted against the nation's top-selling beer brand after it stepped "recklessly" into the culture wars last week with its new spokesperson, transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney, according to bar owners and beer-industry experts around the country.

"I think society flexes it muscles sometimes and reminds manufacturers that the consumer is still in charge," Jeff Fitter, owner of Case & Bucks, a restaurant and sports bar in Barnhart, Missouri, told FOX Business.

BUD LIGHT SAYS PACT WITH TRANS ACTIVIST DYLAN MULVANEY HELPS ‘AUTHENTICALLY CONNECT WITH AUDIENCES’

"In Bud Light's effort to be inclusive, they excluded almost everybody else, including their traditional audience."

He cited sports fans, working people and women as loyal Bud Light consumers the brand suddenly excluded in its race to go woke.

Gillette did it after their ‘toxic masculinity’ ad, but they’ve stopped that for the past two years after losing a chunk of market share.

Bud Light is Gay Beer—I am not Gay so I will not drink it. It is only for people who see themselves as Trans or gay. Good luck marketing to that narrow group. Make Bud Light go extinct.

They have made a huge comeback with new marketing and packaging. The other brewery which is finding new life is FX Matt in Utica, They brew Saranac which is mighty fine, too.

“I do NOT think Target did.”

Think again. In the past five years the Target share price has gone up 140%!! That’s way more than NASDAQ and the S&P 500.

And about double what Walmart has delivered.

“Would be surprised if they made such a move.”

I was making reference to this earlier disaster by Lands End.

Every organization feels compelled for some reason to embrace this insanity. None are immune. Banks, telecommunication companies, associations, and even some churches.

Just finished watching to not so great movie (s) version of Atlas Shrugged. Perhaps we end up with one beer coalition where profits are shared? A bit tongue in cheek but who knows these days.

And how many more companies are jumping on the SJW, Go Woke, Support Trans bandwagon RIGHT NOW!?

Look. You’re an idiot with no clue how to fight an aggressive enemy.

You have no clue of the serious long term value of making an example early on so you don’t have to deal with this crap over the long term.

You are unable to relate cause to effect over time.

You do not understand the part your own mindset has played in assisting the depraved and degenerate from making this much progress against us.

Stop talking to me.

There’s no point.

I noted you evaded, ducked, dodged and danced around the question.

Heh. Yeah. Because everyone is supposed to spend every minute of every day waiting breathlessly for your next utterance of idiocy.

You simpering suck. You and your mindset are a LOT of the reason we are where we’re at. And no. Your concept of cause and effect in the corporate world is not meaningful nor accurate. Make an example and make it painful. and make it stick. Please. Sit down. Shut up.

Looks like Grimmy was calling for his own boycott...Hmmm..

General Motors CANCELS advertising on Twitter after Elon Musk takes over while other companies consider pulling out if Donald Trump makes a return

Grimey; Companies doing this should be remembered for it.

Calling for a boycott were ya?

Hypocrite much Grimmy?

Stop talking to me.

LOL! Shut up you nasty hypocrite. Anyone can read back and see you making a complete hypocrite of yourself. Get lost Grimey.

Everything is NOT awesome at Lego. They’re the latest company to go woke by pushing the trans agenda on kids. Check out their latest IG post . My family will NEVER give
@LEGO_Group
another dollar. The left wants to sexualize your kids and confuse them about their identity.

Btw, you really might want to look up the word hypocrite. It doesn’t mean what you seem to think it does. And flining it around like a leftists throwing the *phobia or nazi tag...

Kinda fitting with the way you fail to argue, actually.

I’m starting to smell the stink of a closet leftists coming from you.
