   [Woke going broke...] Bud Light's trans

   Get woke, go broke.   
      
   That’s the danger facing beer giant Anheuser-Busch after the company’s Bud   
   Light brand — the top-selling US beer — chose trans TikTok influencer   
   Dylan Mulvaney for a promotional stunt, sending her cans with her image to   
   celebrate the one-year anniversary of her transition.   
      
   The cost?   
      
   A staggering drop of around $5 billion in value as Anheuser-Busch’s stock   
   price took a dive on news of (ex-)Bud drinkers’ fury.   
      
   Proof positive that if consumers tired of everything being woke-ified   
   raise their voices, the market listens.   
      
   Celebs joined in. Country superstar Travis Tritt struck all Anheuser-Busch   
   products from his tour hospitality rider.   
      
   Kid Rock blasted cases of the brew in a widely circulated target-practice   
   video.   
      
   The little guy made his choice known too.   
      
   A Missouri bar owner reported a massive 50% crash in sales of draught   
   sales and a 30% drop in sales of bottled Anheuser-Busch brews.   
      
   A Massachusetts barkeep reported an 80% collapse.   
      
   A Hell’s Kitchen pub, i.e., a bar in the heart of the Big Apple’s LGBTQ   
   community, saw 58% and 70% drops for draught and bottled respectively.   
      
   And the movement’s just getting started, as search interest in the phrase   
   “Boycott Bud Light” is up massively.   
      
   This response isn’t anti-trans, by the way. It’s anti-indoctrination:   
   Don’t make my beer into your political statement.   
      
   The Anheuser-value bloodbath shows that despite the best efforts of gender   
   loons, up to and including the Biden White House — which has embraced the   
   most radical positions on these issues and been buddy-buddy with Mulvaney   
   herself — most people don’t want to be shoehorned into a culture war.   
      
   Just as they prefer their movies to avoid clumsy preachments on “equity.”   
      
   Or their kids’ elementary schools to teach reading and math instead of   
   lefty propaganda.   
      
   Now, the predictable, mirror-mirror reaction from the left is already   
   underway.   
      
   I.e. that it’s conservatives turning Bud Light into a culture war   
   battlefield, not them.   
      
   No: Bud Light chose to embrace a massively divisive figure in what the   
   brand’s own marketing veep described as an effort to penetrate the Gen Z   
   demo.   
      
   Are 20-somethings these days so robotically politicized as to switch to a   
   trans-inclusive beer? More likely, the marketing “geniuses” behind this   
   debacle are just clueless products of the left’s long march through our   
   universities.   
      
   More important, the brew’s existing consumers recognize rank agitprop when   
   they see it, and answer with equal contempt.   
      
   Cue Bud Light’s sudden social-media silence.   
      
   This is a hugely important lesson for average Americans: You’re not   
   powerless.   
      
   And your beer doesn’t have to be a political medium.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden   
   fiasco, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.   
      
   President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed   
   dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
