Target and Bud Light have lost a whopping $28 billion combined amid marketing decisions geared toward transgender individuals, according to a report from Fox Business.

Bud Light promoted transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney for its March Madness contest, costing parent company Anheuser-Busch nearly $19 billion in fallout, Fox Business reported Friday. Shares are also down 14% amid the boycotts.

Target was forced to pull some of its LGBTQ-themed items that catered to transgender individuals, cutting off more than $9 billion in market value with shares down 12.6%, according to the outlet.

This stuff disgusts all normal people, including many who would reject the label “conservative”.

This is how you begin to break up the solidarity of the liberal coalition. There are lots of people who sign on in order to advance a particular cause or belief, but don't subscribe to the more whacked-out philosophies of some members. This may very well be the issue that drives them away.

I have not read the whole article, but I am wondering if either company has lost any employees over this. I myself have not been in Target for years and years and have never ever bought a bottle of any kind of beer. That’s my personal preference.

I saw a picture of a guy wearing a bikini that had a spot to tuck his stuff in. It was disgusting but what made it worse is it was marketed for children. Good people from all walks of life should attack every company that uses transvestites to cater to children. If we punish the politicians and companies enough maybe they will leave the children alone. I doubt it but we should still punish them.

Someone needs to tell Target to hire an Ad Agency that 'looks like America' and dump the one that 'looks like a San Franciso Gay Bathhouse'...

Boycott implies if they change, we’ll come back. They wish it was a boycott.

You have actually put your finger on the problem. All the Ad Agencies look like a bath house. They present these campaigns to the board and no one in the room has the stones to object lest they shouted down and cancelled.

the article said ...”transgender individuals, cutting off more “


The cowardly men, are afraid to cut it off. Plus, they are so afraid of being a man, that they dress like a woman.

Like I said,the dykes have it good. They just wear a short haircut and dress like a man. The lesbos are smart people.

It's simple. If the corporate, ahem, "brains" running the show there think it's a good idea to, ahem again, target their marketing strategy to the alphabet mafia demographic have at it. Personally, I think it's weird but when it comes to sexuality among CONSENTING ADULTS IDGAFF. When they try to make the children part of this, WE HAVE A PROBLEM. And another thing:

No matter how staggering the amount is, it is not enough. It is time to destroy these woke companies...completely.

Well at least the Budweiser Clydesdales know what a real mare looks like. And it looks like Target really screwed the pooch this time
