   Bud Light’s social-media accounts have resumed regular postings after a   
   hiatus that followed the ill-fated marketing tie-up with transgender   
   influencer Dylan Mulvaney — and they’re drawing brutal comments from   
   critics.   
      
   The feel-good posts which feature images of people enjoying Bud Light   
   received negative replies from Twitter users, including one who wrote:   
   “I’d rather drink urine.”   
      
   Over the weekend, Bud Light tweeted out images depicting beer-drinkers   
   enjoying themselves.   
      
   Sunday’s tweet included a photo of two women walking outdoors — one of   
   which is holding a 24-can case of Bud Light.   
      
   “Summer Sunday made easy,” the caption of the tweet read.   
      
   The tweet prompted one user of Photoshop to crop an image of a large trash   
   bin — making it seem as if the woman was about to toss the case of Bud   
   Light into the garbage.   
      
   Another cropped image made it appear as if the two women were walking   
   through a garbage dump.   
      
   The tweet that was posted on Saturday features an image of a man holding   
   an open bottle of Bud Light.   
      
   “It’s Saturday. Let’s have a good day,” the caption of the tweet read.   
      
   One snarky responder tweeted: “You haven’t had a good day in almost four   
   months.”   
      
   Each of the tweets were deluged with negative responses from those who   
   have vowed to boycott the brand over its Mulvaney partnership.   
      
   “The best ratios are Bud Light ratios,” one Twitter user wrote.   
      
   On Twitter, a ratio refers to a tweet that generates more comments than   
   likes or shares — a surefire sign that the post will be met with a largely   
   negative reception.   
      
   Another Twitter user joked that whoever is managing Bud Light’s social   
   media accounts has a difficult task in front of them.   
      
   “Shout out to the bud light intern who has the difficult job of hiding   
   every reply,” the Twitter user wrote.   
      
   Another Twitter user wrote: “You lost your customer base. The only people   
   drinking your beer are those who don’t know about the boycott and think   
   they’re just getting a great deal on beer.”   
      
   The Twitter user continued: “You did this, and continue to do this, to   
   yourself. You made drinking beer political.”   
      
   The Post has sought comment from Anheuser-Busch.   
      
   Last Wednesday, the official Bud Light Twitter account posted an image   
   showing cans of the beer resting in an icy cooler.   
      
   “Wednesday night beers,” read the caption of the tweet.   
      
   Another beer drinker vowed: “Ah yes. Gonna grab a Blue Moon.”   
      
   Bud Light’s efforts to win back hearts and minds have been met with stiff   
   resistance from boycotters who vow to shun the beer at least until its   
   parent company offers up a full-throated apology.   
      
   Sales of Bud Light fell by 23.6% over the Fourth of July holiday —   
   continuing a weeks-long trend that has seen a steady decline of the   
   brand’s popularity at checkout counters nationwide.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden

   queer liberal democrat donors.   
      
   President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed   
   dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
