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.

If and when they decide to return to business and not social / sexual revolution, they may return to profitability.

Normal people don’t want to drink a beer that reminds them of perverted fetishes.

I think it’s a mistake, and a lost opportunity, to describe these as “conservative boycotts”.

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

No force involved. Target is perfectly free to display an entire store full of pedophilic transgender items...and take the consequences.

Blackrock is putting the screws to them and trying to buoy them with cash infusions. Eventually Blackrock will feel the pressure.

Yes, they probably will. And they’re whining about losing money?! They should’ve thought of that before embracing alphabet nazi propaganda!

maybe we are going about this the wrong way

blackrock seems to be the source of the problem

maybe we should be taking a look at all of blackrock’s holdings

and see how many of them they can prop up at one time

Just came out of a beer distributor guy leaving with a case of bud. Anyone paying attention out there? This is the problem with the majority we don’t stick together like the pukes do

During the revolution colonists painted the store fronts of those loyal to the king with pig poo. This way they knew who not to support.
The rainbow flag serves the same purpose.

George Washington was raising an army and Sam Adams asked him what they should do in the meantime.

Washington replied, “R E S I S T “

A full-blown boycott involves irate protestors showing up in person and marching back and forth before the place of business or corporate headquarters with signs and preventing the entry or departure of clients. What has happened to Target and Anheuser-Bush is much more diffuse and decentralized, but probably no less devastating to the bottom line of either, more like “shunning” than an active open protest.

Target should have been boycotted a long time ago. They were among the first to allow men in the restrooms and dreesing rooms as your wives, daughters and mothers. Interesting though, the majority of people are go to church with are big target fans.
So I expect this boycott to be like the others. Ineffective in the long run.. because who wants to be caught shopping at Walmart like the unwashed.

Hold the line. If it succeeds, we can stop a lot of this evil.

Bud’s insulting advertising has become a joke among the product’s (former) chief demographic. Insults and jokes can last a long time in a society. They become part of the common culture. It is very unlikely that more than 5 or 10 percent of the patronage could be recaptured.

Target will never see our money again - at least as long as Target invites or permits full- grown men into the store’s little girls room.
Whoever dreamt that up had to be insane, perverted, or an agent mole for the competition

Can you imagine the outrage if a store like Cabelas or Bass Pro Shops had a gun display at the front of the store that was geared towards kids?

The left would be burning them down.
