There are studies that have show that leftists were always much more sensitive to a corporations political standing and if a company did something liberals don’t like (e. g. chic-fil-a, hobby lobby, etc.) they quickly go ballistic, boycott, push negative media and protest.
But conservatives typically have “well this bullshit but I don’t want to inconvenience myself” attitude. We complain but we don’t change our buying behaviors.
Then came along bud light. I don’t know what kind of Down syndrome idea the Anheiser Busch marketing team but they decided to put transsexual Dylan Mulvaney’s repulsive face on beer bottles that are typically bought by working class men and Latinos.
This time the boycott came and bud light got crushed. They lost 25% of their YoY sales which is devastating.

Now it’s easy to do this to a beer brand. I don’t even drink beer but if I did I could easily buy something else that doesn’t support an insane ideology.
But unfortunately wokeness has infected everyday brands that are hard to avoid patronizing. I usually shop at Target and buy Starbucks coffee. But Target is now promoting transgender clothing for children.

Just saying that makes me want to vomit in my mouth.
I am going to boycott Target and Starbucks for the entire holy month of pride starting now and until July 1st. This isn’t easy because I often frequent both establishments. However I’ll make my own coffee (I even got a latte maker). I’ll drive further away to Walmart if I need goods/groceries.
It will be an inconvenience but if you are conservative it’s time wake up to the insanity that’s going on and do the sacrifice and hard work. Hit corporations where it hurts (bottom line) and don’t give them any of your money.
