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.

BUt if you want a real American beer or ale, that runs with the best, and cheap, wholesome and delicious?

Genesee Cream ale and others:

I don’t think that Iger has changed any of the woke policies. He’s doubling down on stupid.

I doubt that. I think the wound is mortal.

How were Gillette razor sales doing a year after their tranny ad? I don't know, but that information would be indicative of Bud Light's future.

There's a whole lot of hate crimes for 'failure to praise transgenders' going on here and we know what the FBI is nowadays!

Here is the best use of Budweiser that I can remember. My oldest brother wanted to do something about all the snails in the ivy. but he didn’t want to use poison. He used one of those aluminum pie pans. He poured the Budweiser beer into the pan and set it in the ivy. The snails slithered into the pan, consumed some beer, and cooked in the Sun.

Apparently there are some, even on FR, who still want to drink it. They just want it at a better price.

I don’t listen to country music often — usually only when driving through rural countryside.

Heard a song yesterday that included conventional CM lyrics about yearning for or supporting traditional things such as pickup trucks, country girls, dogs, and so on. It was all good until the singer mentioned good times with Bud Light.

And just like that the nice CM song become a Tranny Song.

There are other good ones out there. Consider this a blessing when you find your new choice.

Even if everyone switched to another InBev product, this is still going to hurt. A lot. They have too much invested in Bud Lite advertising material and campaigns, Think of all the trucks that need repainting, all the useless tapheads all across America, all the preprinted packaging materials, all the banners and signs for events, etc.

The most important thing that could come of this is for the people to see that they actually have power. It’s time to stop waiting 4 years to vote, and to understand the power of the dollar right here and now. The Bud Light story is the perfect example of isolating a target and destroying it. Then pick another one.

Bed Bath and Beyond made some terrible business decisions besides the Mike Lindell thing. They didn’t get to e-commerce fast enough. When the lockdowns happened, they didn’t have enough online business to help them get through the tough times. They’ve been playing catch up for a while, but they just can’t recoup those losses.

No he didn't. In fact he is the fool who started all the "woke" sh*t at Disney. But they *DID* fire the guy who was running it when the "woke" nonsense started biting them in the @$$.

He’s doubling down on stupid.

Yes he is.
