“We need OFFENSE.”

We conservatives need to stop talking about abortion. It is an issue that the Dems use to fire up their base. This was the main reason for the much higher liberal/Dem turnout in last years midterms.

I helped count votes last November in my small town in NH. We had the highest turnout of registered voters ever(82%). As soon as I heard the turnout count from our town moderator I knew that US Senator Maggie Hassan got reelected.

Younger people(twenty and thirty somethings) want access to abortion. Even if they or their girlfriend will never get
one. We won in the Supreme Court. We need to leave it up to the state legislatures and stop talking about it.

We need to talk about the economy(inflation) and the stock market and the cost of energy. Most people that earn a living and get a W2 vote with their pocketbook. The price of all energy is up because of the direct results of Biden policies starting on day one.

Here in NH Eversource increased their electric rate 100%. This is a direct result of the cost of Natural Gas.
Heating oil and diesel fuel are up.
Propane and gasoline are up.
The price of oil is up.
The price of groceries are up.
A Scotts 15m bag of fertilizer was $95 last weekend at Lowes(I did not buy the two I usually buy).

These are the talking points we and the Republican politicians need to pound EVERY DAY.
These are real things that the average American does not like. Things that effect their standard of living.
ALL of these are a direct result of BIDEN policies.

Companies don’t need customers when they have ESG investors.

Then I guess I am not programable, I told LEVI to FO when they went anti second Amendment, I now buy my jeans from prison inmate producers in Oregon they are called “PRISON BLUES”, better quality, cheaper price and F#CK LEVI STRAUS!

The companies I boycott and ignore are to numerous to write up here, just know there are many.

I will never go back to a company that goes QUEER, ANTI SECOND AMENDMENT, or WOKE in any way.

There are lots of companies out there that don’t get involved in politics or social bullshit, you just have to research them.

I would probably call it a “qualified success”.
Bud Lite was a seller, perhaps not huge but still bringing in money to the company.

If Bud Lite goes extinct it brings in ZERO MONEY to the company and that is going to last.

Plus the fact the the brand name will forever be associated with the Budweiser brand as a whole.

A lot of folks will just migrate to a brand that doesn’t piss them off with stupid woke bullcrap, lot’s of alternatives out there.

I liked Bud Light. It was my favorite lite beer.

I won’t be drinking it any longer. Ever...

The AHB Management seems SCARED TO DEATH of something, or they’d simply respond by firing her, retracting the ad and apologizing. After all, if they accidentally hired a MAGA and he put out an ad saying (or implying) that Trump won in 2020, they DEFINITELY would not stand behind that - instread they would respond just as I stated - and that’s despite the fact that a pro-MAGA ad could be VERY EFFECTIVE, given the people who drink beer. In this case, they’re tanking, and they WILL NOT recover from this, for a number of reasons.

So what is it? Why are they paralyzed? I can think of two possibilities - direct threats from Leftists on them and their families, or threats from European (and maybe also American) governments.

Any other thoughts?

I drink Coca Cola. I don’t do boycotts. There are so many leftist companies that I would have to stop buying many things. I stopped buying from Amazon many years ago. That’s the only boycott I do.
