Budweiser's new pro-America ad sets social media ablaze: Can't put the 'genie back in the bottle, guys'

Budweiser's new pro-America ad set Twitter ablaze over the weekend as critics derided the company for a misguided attempt at quelling the backlash over Bud Light's endorsement partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Budweiser's latest advertisement, which was released on social media Friday, features one of the brand's famous Clydesdale horses traversing the country from New York City to the Grand Canyon, passing by scenes in the American heartland as a narrator delivers a patriotic message.

...

The patriotic ad comes as Anheuser-Busch, which owns Budweiser, continues to deal with backlash over a partnership between another one of its popular brands, Bud Light, and Mulvaney. The partnership has caused a significant financial loss for the brand as calls to boycott the beer have spread across the country.

...“inclusive” ads are really just “exclusive” ads. They are designed to minimize, alienate and marginalize more than 50% of the population through openly embracing 1% of the population...

That is a very wise and very accurate observation.

They need to fire their entire marketing department and issue a formal apology and disavow any support for men who pretend to be women, or in Mulavandy’s case, silly little girls.

Mulvany is his own Jail Bait. He is beyond perverted.

It’s the latest woke effort on mental manipulation. They think we are too stupid to figure out what they are up to. They only further insult us.

There is a reason it’s hard to find recent sales figures they will try to bury those numbers into a larger period to offset the actual impact.

The notion that a b can just run a patriotic ad and all will be okay is as insulting as when dems wear flag pins ( or astronaut suits) when we suspect a gratuitous gesture is the more likely case.

Brandon can wear an astronaut suit, no problem! He can pee and crap in it and no one would know. It would also be easier for the Easter Bunny handler to lead him around.

Advise to Budweiser - When you start you apology with some form of and include all three of the following:

- we were wrong
- we will no longer feature trans people in our advertising
- the executive that approved this campaign has been fired

Then and only then, will you customers begin to allow you to walk back your “woke-ness”.

I wonder how many people even know about this, relatively speaking? How many beer drinkers even pay attention to the news?

Just like Cuties and Netflix - very few people even knew and still don’t know about Cuties.

You probably will not see those figures until June when 2nd Q earnings come out.

AB stock is being artificially propped up by the usual globalist crowd.

A significant possibility, and possibly part of a plan like Soros' manipulation of currency markets.

Additionally, are American Dollars sent to Ukraine being used to Prop Up AB? There's a whole bunch of 'em unaccounted for.
