Memorial Day customarily kicks off summer and the beer beverage industry generally looks forward to the enhanced sales that come from summer. However, if the recently published reports of Anheuser-Busch sales are accurate, which includes a stunning 60% sales drop during the holiday, the brand position of Bud Light is in freefall.
While the impacts do have a regional trend based on consumer boycotts and patterns, when the Daily Mail reports, “numbers are suffering primarily due to a decline in Bud Light sales that reached as high as a 60 percent drop off over the week that ended on Memorial Day,” we can be certain the executive offices of A/B are watching closely. The feedback from wholesalers and distributors to the parent company must be something beyond alarm.
Worse still, the forward-looking data trend doesn’t offer any hope. Things are getting worse for the parent company.
(Daily Mail) – […] For the week ending May 20, Bud Light sales across the US fell nearly 26 percent compared to the same period last year. For the week ending May 6, in-store sales plummeted 23.6 percent. And the week before that, ending April 29, sales dropped by 23.3 percent.
This follows declines in sales for the week ending April 22, which saw a 21.4 percent decline. Seven days earlier, the dip has been 17 percent, according to NielsenIQ data provided to Dailymail.com by Bump Williams Consultancy.
The data – showing that US sales of Bud Light are dropping by as much as 20 percent each week – is being uniformly viewed by industry experts as a negative trend that may not reverse itself anytime soon.
Beer Business Daily editor Harry Schuhmacher told Fox News Digital that the ‘whole industry is in shock’. (read more)
It is safe to say the Bud Light brand is now firmly connected to the image of transgender ideology. As a result, it would appear that anyone who holds a Bud Light beverage is essentially identifying themselves as a transvestite pickle-puffer, and that could potentially draw considerable side-eyes from anyone in a public place outside the region of San Francisco, California.
As further noted by the New York Post, “Demand for Bud Light over the crucial Memorial Day weekend — the official kickoff of the summer beer buying season — was lukewarm with many store shelves still holding cases of the once mighty beer, Williams said after a spot check of local stores. At least one store was trying to unload a 24-pack of Bud Light for just $3.49, according to Beer Business Daily.”
Anheuser-Busch InBev CEO Michel Doukeris reportedly addressed the ongoing boycott’s impact on delivery drivers, salespeople, and wholesalers on a recent earnings call. It is a little bit odd to see A/B positioning themselves as victims of their customers.
“This situation has impacted our people and especially our frontline workers: The delivery drivers, sales representatives, our wholesalers, Bud owners and servers,” Doukeris said, according to ABC News. “These people are the fabric of our business. They are our neighbors, family members, and friends. They are in every community in America. We’ve been doing everything we can to support our teams.”
It would appear that Anheuser-Busch the corporation, are refusing to accept or acknowledge their responsibility in creating this crisis for their brand. The brand image issue was not forced upon them. These were decisions made by the marketing division of the company, and now they place blame for the consequences on their customers.
Every time, in every story, in every print and broadcast update, as the ongoing events are told or written – every visual aide that accompanies the news includes that weird guy with the Bud Light beer in his hand. This is now a bizarre marketing self-fulfilling prophecy. The articles and news telling updates to the story are now optically affirming the Bud Light brand as a beverage exclusively for transgenders.
This level of ongoing public relations failure is something for the record books. I wonder if Target Inc is paying attention.
Go woke go broke.
Go g_ay and go away.
Right on free and sane America, keep up the good work.
I was in the local Walmart yesterday, and just inside the front entrance to the store, there was a display filled from top to bottom with cases of Budweiser and Bud Light beer.
NOT ONE SINGLE CASE HAD BEEN SOLD.
Half an hour later, i passed the same display as i left the store.
It was still completely full.
STILL NOT ONE SINGLE CASE HAD BEEN SOLD.
Groomer Grog isn’t popular.
Go figure.
This bad news for Bud Light is actually good news for conservatives in my opinion. It has to be a morale booster of the 1st order to know that we actually do have the power to punish those that continue to demonize conservatives, Christians, and other people that hold traditional beliefs of what’s moral and right.

They really screwed the pooch. I’m surprised sales are only down 60 percent.
Come on people, you can do better.
Send its other brands to destination bye bye as well.
Screwing pooches is a favorite activity of some Alphabet people.
Here is the hidden lesson: Boycotts work if they are not organized. An organized boycott can be attacked and defeated at the point of organization. Random, dispersed, individual decisions create disorganized boycotts. They cannot be created. They can only form. And because there is no boycott creation mechanism, there is no single boycott destruction mechanism. The irony is that usually the creator of the disorganized boycott is also the entity that is its target. A-B has created the boycott that is now hurting them.
I agree…no centralized organization for boycotting. In fact, I do not really see this as a boycott but people just not buying the product anymore. They can’t force people to buy something they don’t want. Also, at this point, and the longer it goes with people not drinking their beer, the less likely the former customers will ever go back.
AB still doesn’t get it I guess as there is something on TGP about AB contributing to a gay people of color organization.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/06/bud-light-donate-200000-lgbtq-business-owners-color/
If there are so many gays around there should be enough to go out and buy Bud Light….clearly gays don’t drink Bud Light so this stupid company is supporting them over their customers. How dumb can you get…keep up the good work people. I don’t drink beer but if I decide to have one I will make sure it is no AB…we have a lot of breweries here so there’s lots of local beer but I heard one of them was owned by AB. Don’t like their beer anyway.
Imagine if public schools saw a 30% decrease in their customer base… boycott public schools!
Homeschool! Destroy the indoctrination centers! Bud Light is just a symptom of the fomenters of the anti-science!
Why do we have children spend so much time in school??? George Washington went to school from 4th through 8th grade! And I dare say he would perform better than 99% of H.S. graduates and 99.9% of college grads. We homeschooled our children – 1.5 hours/day. And no night ever saw them do more than 1/2 hour of assigned homework. They all scored over 32 on the ACT’s, got full ride academic scholarships to Washingon University and St. Louis University. Sending them to University was the worst mistake we ever made as parents!
I homeschooled two special needs kids through high school. We were frugal and only my husband worked a paying job. It was worth everything we gave up, and I’d do it all over again. Both my kids plan to homeschool and thanked us for it. We were unschoolers, facilitating what our kids wanted to learn. Both are critical thinkers who love to learn as adults.
Not just what’s moral and right, but also what’s possible and not possible, and what’s real and not real.
Boy: “The emperor has no clothes.”
Brandon: ” Come on, person…we’re not an emperor, we’re a democracy.”
Yeah, but black rock and vanguard own everything.
They’ll make it up on other brands.
It is shame for the workers if they take the hit .
It’s lame top excutives won’t own their poop .
Too embarrassing to hold an AB product in your hand.
You don’t want to get the “side eye” at the bar.
🤣🤣🤣
Let’s boycott the rest of the AB/InBev vampire squid empire while we’re at it!
It takes some effort to avoid the hundreds of InBev brands.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AB_InBev_brands
InBev has now acquired one of my favorites, Stella Artois, so farewell Stella!
The deep sixing of Stella is unfortunate but there are many other great options. Bye-bye Stella. The power of the purse is alive and well.
I’m certain over the last holiday weekend, millions of 20 somethings who could give a damn about anything but a buzz, got a lesson in political correctness. For sure at least a couple suicides were involved. Tranny Fluid is a killer.
You’ll drown before you get a buzz off of Bud Light.
Ms. Heinerscheid made it clear that she wanted to replace the icky existing demo. They were told they were not wanted, so they responded accordingly. Their attitude is similar to Pink being angry that her record sales fell off after saying she did not want conservatives to buy them.
The fact that, as far as I know, Ms. Heinerscheid has not been fired, merely placed on Leave of Absence, tells me the A/B does not disagree with her direction.
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
I was just thinking about what Pink told people myself…Don’t listen to my music…NO PROBLEMO!
The list is long, David , the penguin, Crosby comes to mind. These people are so full of themselves they will never learn. to just Leave us the F alone.
Wokies are all a bunch of Narcissists. They destroy everything they get involved with, then blame their victims for the outcome. Best to just stay as far away from them as possible or you will be sucked into a no win situation where they try and make you look like the bad guy. That is always their game plan.
Side note on how these people have no sense of humor. I have an attorney who is a total leftist, I know, but I’ve known him since grade school. He is a giant of a man, and he was just telling me his son, even gianter, was just given a full ride to Notre Dame to play football. I said great, when he gets there and they ask him his pronouns he can tell them Fee Fi Fo Fum . He got mad, so I said OK, They it is. I can’t wait to get his next bill.
Same here I had a left leaning friend…he does an open-mike so he has a sense of humor. But he got mad at me for an insensitive joke of mine. To him it was racist.
The joke?
“I was in a conversation with a guy from Aftica about the greatest NFL dynasty of all time. His response was: ‘Greatest team? Gotta be the 1990-93 Buffalo Bills. Four straight Super Bowls. I got the t-shirts to prove it!'”
😆😆😆😆 Great joke!
I was a YUUUUUGE fan of The Boss! Now when his songs come on the radio I cannot listen! Basically he told me (conservatives) he didn’t want us to listen either. It was difficult, but I said, “Goodbye”.
He was always anti-American trash. Born in the USA is a trash America song and he craps all over Vietnam veterans. Old Brucie got out of the draft by pooping in his pants at the induction center. He walked around all day like that and got out of the draft on being mentally ill.
Yeah. I was more a fan of No Surrender and Bobby Jean off that album. I was 17 when that album came out and even then I recognized that born in the USA was an anti-American song.

The “replace the icky existing demo” thinking has been around for years. It first popped up in the gaming/comic book circles about ten years ago, spread from there into the movies, and from there into the consumer goods industry. Comic book writers were telling consumers not buy their products if they didn’t like the politicized “art.”
Comics fans listened, and now it is a dying industry. The superhero genre, which has dominated the movie industry for 15 years, relies on comics for source material. Now the movies are infected and in a terminal decline because the end product invariably turns out to be a smug lecture full of self-righteous nonsense. The relatively new streaming services also rely on comics and pop culture for material. They are in big trouble as well.
The woke crowd loves to complain, but its hates to buy things. Even if it did there are not enough individuals to replace the customers and fans who been excluded by this modern concept of inclusion.
True. And I say good riddance. When the movie industry has to rely on comic book characters (and Lego toys) for source material, their ship has sailed.
Movie makers no longer need the comic books as source material. Now that Marvel has jumped into the “multiverse” story lines, the original source material is no longer useful. The producers can simply reboot any Marvel character from another “multiverse”. The storyline can be nearly identical to the original and it still makes money. Three different Spiderman in the same movie proved it. Spiderman No Way Home was a monster hit at $1.9 billion.

Alisaa heidersheid whatever, that is
Many ask “why” a company would do this that of the other.
It’s really quite simple, follow the money; BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street own controlling interest of 700 of the Fortune 1000.
Then look at who owns them? The Western Central Bank, The Bank of International Settlements, The Bank of Rome, The City of London (The Square Mile), The Bank of Rome and their PR firm the WEF and their leader Klaus Schwab. Let’s look at their some of their agenda;
“The WEF, which has ordered the mainstream media to begin pushing the narrative, wants to introduce an international policy that will require the majority of countries to decriminalize or at the very least relax their laws against pedophilia.
The New York Times, always at the forefront of the globalist agenda, ran an op-ed arguing that pedophilia is not a crime.
According to the Times, civil rights protections must be extended to pedophiles. “Without legal protection, a pedophile cannot risk seeking treatment or disclosing his status to anyone for support.”
Not to be outdone, CNN countered with an article proclaiming that pedophiles are not “monsters” or “social deviants living in the shadows.” According to CNN, it’s high-time for society to update its image of pedophiles.
CNN followed up this article with an even more explicit call for sympathy. Rather than considering child molesters the lowest of the low, we should reach out to them and seek to understand them, according to CNN because, they claim, “One cannot choose not to be a pedophile.”
And the BBC, which famously spent decades covering up for Britain’s most notorious pedophile Jimmy Savile, also wants us to think positively about the new generation of pedophiles.
Make no mistake, a co-ordinated attempt is underway to present pedophilia as “harmless.”
This is why they are committing corporate suicide, orders from up high…the bankers.
The only good pedophile is a dead pedophile. We will never accept this and will go to war with the left over it if they keep pushing this sickness. The Bible is pretty specific on how to handle these degenerates. Our kids need to be protected from the WEF. Somebody please whack Schwab and remove this ilk from the face of the earth. Also add Soros and the rest of the globalist cabal to that list. Sickens me to no end.
The great devaluation of corporations hurts the employees & stockholders the most. Which is us.
Destroying our jobs & our wealth is the means to get the most people into a position to owning nothing. We may not be happy when we get there but we’re certainly celebrating the mechanism that’s taking us there.
And destroying what was once Americana. Had someone suggest to me that Vanguard, Blackrock, et al were forcing companies to do this to destroy American culture with the intent of replacing it with something else, like the LGTAVDFWS b.s. being forced on us or globalism. Many of the companies in recent headlines for going woke were pillars of Americana, Coca-Cola, Budweiser, Disney, Hershey et al and now that they have gone woke and are destroying their brand by adopting a fringe ideology invented by mentally unstable and criminal parts of society. The argument being they, BlackRock, Vanguard, et al want to destroy the American culture and replace it with something more sinister and degrading. Doing this requires erasing anything that hints of the uniqueness of America and that could be what is happening behind closed doors. Never accept anything at face value there almost always is something more insidious at play. I will continue to boycott these products.
If the BBC was a party to covering for Jimmy Savile, are they worried about being sued?
“One cannot choose not to be a pedophile.”
I read that and am immediately reminded of the strong push, “born this way,” to successfully brainwash the population that these people have no agency, they are not responsible for their actions, their choices, their lives, or the results of same. They are not sinful, they are not choosing to sin, because they simply can’t hep it.
I notice leftists are big on removing agency or any sense of responsibility from all areas of life, no matter whether you’re talking about abortion, fiscal irresponsibility, drug use, welfare/unemployment/entitlements, etc.
“One cannot choose not to be a pedophile.”
perhaps.
but one CAN choose not to act on it.
agree with you completely, c4a.
i draw the line at being told these people have no
functioning ability to make decisions.
In a way, they’re right about being “born this way.” The Bible teaches that they are “children of darkness,” “slaves to sin,” “enemies of God,” “separated from God,” and children of satan. But that’s the state of all humans until Jesus redeems them!
As for acting out their sinful desires, there used to be laws and punishments that curbed that! I suspect those are in the process of disappearing as society becomes even more lawless!
Believable. Most of mankind’s prideful actions can be traaced to the worship of genital pleasures. Satan’s angels started this when they fell to earth and “finding the daughters of men attractive, went into them”.

Yep, they will be refused loans etc But, it all goes back to having spied on the corporations for blackmail purposes.
Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street are not owned by the banks that you list. Blackrock and state street are publicly traded companies and their largest shareholders are other public investment firms. Vanguard is owned by the investors of their products such as mutual funds.
Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street DO NOT own controlling interest in 700 of the Fortune 1000. The asset managers vote the shares contained in mutual funds and ETF’s., they Do Not own the shares, the investors in the mutual funds and ETF’s own the shares. Blackrock for example has about 8.5 trillion dollars under management but only about 37 billion dollars of their own money.
The way that Blackrock and State Street exhibit control over companies is through ESG investing and scoring. Vanguard no longer does ESG investing because it was not as profitable to the shareholder. For example the best preforming stock sector for 2020-2022 were oil companies. If you were a ESG investor you missed out on this. The 2 best preforming stocks of the S&P 500 in 2021 were Devon Energy and Marathon Oil.
If you want to fight the woke corporations make sure that your investment or retirement money is NOT invested in a company that does ESG investing. Not only will you be fighting woke companies, but you’ll have better returns too!

It’s about control, ignore it and it will devour our nation, without question. This is how you get blanket sexual confusion throughout corporate America.
Those “banks” listed own everything even you and I provided you’re American born in the last 100 years.
Ignore it and we will equivocate the USA and the West as a whole into oblivion.
Nothing in your rebuttal debunks anything I wrote on my post. There’s a website called “Investopedia” you may want to take a look at it.
BINGO!!! Winner, winner chicken dinner!!!
The so-called elite (I refer to them as parasites) are satanic pedophiles. No conspiracy theory. Just fact! It is genuinely a spiritual battle!!!
Did DEI obligations sort of force it on Anheuser-Busch?
ESG, DEI, CEI, etc. is all corporate credit nonsense.
There is no DEI OBLIGATIONS. It is all self-inflicted!
Yeah, that!
I don’t this should be labeled a boycott anymore, we need a new term that conveys how the whole nation, without being harangued by “influencers” or paid by haters, and without a drop of hate in our hearts have independently and simultaneously agreed to shun Anheuser-Busch and the whole oppressive “agree with me or else, perverted movement.
A/B and Bud Light have been “Exiled”
Sent to Coventry.
Kinda funny. Through their pushy arrogance, they have made themselves the target of our anger. Targett. Haha.
Call it an Exit. Stop using the product and don’t go back
Sounds like we’re learning something from the Amish (shunning those that are no longer welcome). 🙂
It won’t be long before another woke CEO or corporate executive will virtue signal his/her support to the trans community and destroy its brand.
These execs do not realize that trans folks are a tiny percentage of the population, and lefty journalists drive all the hysteria surrounding them. I guess that many calling themselves trans are either gay, mentally disturbed, or just seeking attention.
To these people and their mission to normalize child predation and destroy womanhood, market share is irrelevant.
We cannot devise strategies to defeat an enemy whose mission we fail to – or refuse to – comprehend.
I can’t be part of the boycott since I never drank that disgusting stuff in the first place.
American “lite” beers are bottled bunny pee.
Better yet, pi** in a can!
You certainly can. You can stop doing business with stores that carry it…and tell them.
The multinational corporations don’t have any respect for people in the US or around the world. They think that they are powerful enough to force us into our own destruction as a society. We can be forced to accept Satanism, transgenderism, and the despoilment of our future generations.
They are attempting to force this ideology around the world. Countries that are not compliant with their depravity are punished.
Why shouldn’t they think that, the State Department seems to be powerful enough to force their toxicity on other nations.
So…you give the middle finger to your consumer base and expect them to buy your product????
Personally I don’t care what brand of beer I drink or order, but golfing this past weekend there was no way I was ordering Bud Lite from the beer cart in front of my buddies. I see how this is going to accelerate.
Conservative boycotts WORK when they are faithfully followed. Target is also losing millions. Keep up the boycotts!
KEEP IT UP…and I have always liked the two Target stores equidistant from my house. One is a Super Target.
We had just received the week previous to all this, a heating pad ordered from them online.
100% stopped going to Target some years ago when they went to unisex bathrooms.
Never looked back.
I had my doubts this would stick, but I’m starting to become hopeful…

Didn’t they just exacerbate the problem by offering significant additional monies to the alphabet progrom of mind control?

It is great to see and hear true Americans standing for patriotic and conservative values. And that our actions are being felt corporates pocket book.
I wonder if there is also outside pressure to stay the course, aside from the screeching harpies…maybe from the global corporate DEI, LGBTQIA yadda, yadda, yadda borg.
AB could MAYBE stanch the bleeding now, but they would have to publicly and loudly disavow their stance, and that is the bridge that the rest of the corporate DEI world cannot countenance. It would be the canary in the coal mine…acknowledging the power that WE have, and would embolden conservative groups to expand their boycotting efforts.
The global DEI community will happily sacrifice AB in order to hopefully, in their minds, protect their positions.
I’m sure that AB is being counseled, and may actually believe, that this will blow over.
Who knows, but the longer it goes, the more blood AB loses, and it becomes less likely they will survive this.
Unfortunately for AB, I think that the longer the boycott goes, the stronger the will is to keep it going.
How long until AB is given the CNN-at-airports treatment at sports stadiums?
If Bud Light is the only beer made available at the stadium/arena, people are likely to consume it.
People shouldn’t be in the kneeling stadiums of bread and circus!
INBEV CEO Michael Doukeris should not have allowed the willful destruction of the “fabric of the business.”
Unfortunately the conglomerate’s leadership will not suffer any consequences but the company & front line employees certainly will. That’s the way it always works.
The target picked, personalized & polarized itself. We can certainly isolate it, freeze it & PLOW IT UNDER.
“This situation has impacted our people and especially our frontline workers: The delivery drivers, sales representatives, our wholesalers, Bud owners and servers,” Doukeris said, according to ABC News. “These people are the fabric of our business. They are our neighbors, family members, and friends. They are in every community in America. We’ve been doing everything we can to support our teams.”
You should have thought of your employees before you hired Alissa Heinerscheld and let her deliberately sabotage your billion dollar business!!!!
“Doing everything we can to support our teams” EXCEPT FOR telling Larry Fink to eff off.
The large walk in beer cave at Total Wine this weekend was almost cleaned out of Miller and Coors products. Then spoke with someone at a picnic that day who was drinking a Coors Banquet and said he had switched from only Bud Light. It was not only for him the Mulvaney campaign but he discovered how mediocre BL was. There are many who will NOT return to BL after trying better beers they had no idea about.
Molson-Coors is even more woke than Transheuser-Busch. Just read their website.
Just remember that in September all the retailers evaluate their shelf space and reallocate them based on sales. With such a big drop in Transheuser-Busch’s sale that they’ll lose shelf space to their competitors.
‘Scuse my saying this, but …. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I have to laugh at liberal claims of “economic terrorism” being levied against people who are boycotting Budweiser and Target.
It seems that they (folks supporting extreme liberal causes) seem to like to shake down corporations for donations (y’know, lest anything happen to them), or losing access to financial markets if they don’t sign on to ESG and DEI movements and compliance markers. For example, BLM, green new deal, suppressing China-critical supply line human rights violations, etc.
And they don’t see THAT being more terroristic in nature?
And haven’t there been calls to boycott Christian businesses?
Whatsamatter? You don’t have the numbers to make much of a dent?
And that’s our fault for using the same tactics to express our disagreement with the direction of a company and their products? Money talks. BS walks.
Economics 101. You want to sell products? Give the customer what they want. Otherwise, they’ll find other options.
Economic terrorism? Is that like blacklisting Trump owned golf courses and other properties?
“These people are the fabric of our business. They are our neighbors, family members, and friends. They are in every community in America. We’ve been doing everything we can to support our teams.”
These people, by virtue of their employment, support AmBev’s sexual deviancy agenda and I hope they all reap the rewards of their support.
Oh, but the new Harley motorcycle can is being heavily advertised to get the “red neck”, homophobe beer drinkers back in the fold. At least that’s how AnHb views those who drink their canned cow diss. Hope they go broke. Their beer has always sucked.
It won’t work because HD is fully onboard with the trans agenda. Read their website.
https://www.harley-davidson.com/us/en/about-us/sustainability.html
Time for Harley to go broke.
They already are. HD riders are doing their own boycott. I saw a video about it on YouTube by a rider discussing all the ESG stuff combined with the AB can.
Its the purposeful destruction of American culture. We may not consume them, but iconic American Brands are being destroyed on purpose. In Europe they intend to demolish historical buildings. Just like the demolition of statues, art. They are destroying culture and history so they can rebuild a disgusting and perverse Sodom and Gomorrah
Brands are not culture though. Our culture will survive regardless of what they do and they’ve pushed us too far that we’re starting to fight back. Very few of the brands that existed in 1776 survived till today.
Have you never seen all the dykes on bikes?
The Cost of ESG and DEI is now out in the open. These people are destroying people’s retirement investments.
ESG needs to become a HUGE BIG BAD BULLY THAT ALL AMERICANS WISH TO KILL!!!! IT’s THE BEAST.
I haven’t been inside a Target Store in more than 10 years. I was not boycotting anything. I just never liked those stores. The arrangement of merchandise made no sense to me, and a typical foray into the store mostly ended up by me finding only a facsimile of what I was looking for. The sales help was almost universally non-existent and the few you could find were overwhelmed by people trying to find the merchandise they were searching for.
Worse than anything, the parking lot was loaded with compact car spaces, an annoying problem for a shopper in a Toyota Tundra. The last time I went there, there was no place I could safely park, so I turned around and left and swore I would never go back. Businesses don’t want me to be severely inconvenienced before I can even make the short walk to the doorway.
I am boycotting Target, but I can’t make any difference because of it. As for beer, I had to swear off of that stuff 30 years ago, with exceptions being only when my son’s would like to have a beer with me. That just makes me feel too happy have a beer to resist it. But, even then, I seldom want more than one. So far, my boycotting transgender crap is having almost no affect.
Anyone else notice that they never had much contact with transgendered folk before and still don’t. There are actually very few of these people in our population, and certainly not any who should qualify as a downtrodden minority. Whatever their reasons for thinking they deserve special treatment for being members of an under served minority, they are living a lie. If this a fact of their lives, they have nobody to blame except themselves for it. And nothing ever entitles anyone to provide adult entertainment to children, so yes, I am predisposed to dislike them and I also think of their behavior as being totally non-productive on any level. Only a Communist would think there is any useful place for these ‘useful idiots’. Change my mind. Next subject.
You can make a difference by emailing them saying you will NEVER shop there or online until they change their policies, pay no attention to their “ESG” score, which you find to be a tool of totalitarianism by Marxists, and that you’ll spread your message to all your neighbors about ESG and CORPORATE bullying of the consumer.
At .001% of the population, you likely will NEVER run into a “Trans” freak.
You see plenty in Walmart. They love hiring women with beards, and men in dresses. Its truly disgusting, and the only saving grace to their perversion, is their genetics die with them.
I believe you are referring to natural selection except that I don’t see any of these freaks in my small backwater town’s Walmart. I hope you are not preparing me for the future, here in Hayseed, USA. 🙂
You have to go to the public schools and you will see many and get edjumacated in the world of Trans!
Thankfully, my last parent teacher conference was 25 years ago. I am now insulated from the fiasco we call the Public Schools. Except for my County taxes, of course. 🙂
“Victims of their customers.” Of course! Would not be spun any other way. If you’re ‘woke’ you always get to play the victim card. I’m waiting to hear/read of drivers who are quitting because they don’t want to be associated with the company (especially if they are having to drive a Bud Light logo’d truck), and retailers who say they no longer want to stock the beer as it’s taking up shelf space for something that is selling. And no, Target hasn’t been paying attention for years.
I’ve boycotted Target for many years. When they kicked The Salvation Army off their property at Christmas and told their employees to use ,Happy Holidays. Never missed them since….
Let’s hope this happens to Target as well as the CEO jabbed as us logical thinkers last week.
He should have been fired by now.
All these corporate executives have been trained for 20+ years of woke brainwashing in our educational system. They probably actually believe all the crap they spew, as do their peers. They have been hired and promoted because of leftist beliefs. They are probably shocked when the real world smacks them in the face
Methinks you are right. 🙂
Look on the bright side their ESG score when way up!!! What good is a perfect ESG score if the company goes out of business for being extremely “woke”??? Beer drinkers shouldn’t be confused with the liberal “woke” Chablis and brie crowd!!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Right on, MAGA’s! Keep it up!!
How many pickles could a pickle puffer puff if a pickle puffer could puff pickles?
FYI, T-Mobile just went woke with a “Can’t we all get along with Tranny’s” commercial.
Bud Light never again. Anheuser Busch products never again.
Both companies appear to be doubling down on stupidity. Target is now a target of a lawsuit concerning company “social policy” wrecking investors in the company.
Yeppers, Target is a target. The list has gotten very long. But here is a tip. Little Debbie’s products are still made in the USA and they make great snacks. 🙂
AB can be run into the ground. The ONLY thing that matters is that they do right by the Clydesdales.
In the midst of all the insanity and hate swirling around us life seems to have lost some of its luster.
But I still do get some warm fuzzies watching Mama Karma at work.
I want to see these people reap what they’ve sown over and over and over again.
The entire executive suite at Budweiser and InBev need to be fired, salaries clawed back and shares forfeited. The damage they have done to thousands of their employees, distributors and contractors is immeasurable. THEY ACT LIKE THE HIGH AND MIGHTY POLITICIANS! We have had it from Start to Finish; angry over Covid and no consequences, a rigged election and no consequences, an intentional petroleum collapse and inflation with no consequence, a phony ass war in Ukraine with no consequence. If Budweiser had any brains and courage, they would get their lily asses out to the bar-stools of Mid-America and find out what our life is all about. I’m sure, if they’re smart, they can adjust their business model, walk away from the WEF, get some SANE advertising, but keep the beer good. If they don’t change; THEY’RE TOAST!
The decision to use a “transgender” man to market Bud Light was NOT a mistake or an aberration. It was perfectly consistent with AB InBev’s DEI policy. Read it below.
AB InBev is no longer in the beverage business. They and other transnational corporations are now in the social change business that has been forced upon them by Blackrock and Vanguard. Their legacy products are now little more than marketing vehicles for delivery of prescribed social narratives. They would rather destroy a brand than get crosswise with …. whom?

Target Inc is not paying attention…yet.
It’s a shame that we are witnessing the destruction of American icons 😔
All part of the globalist plan to Destroy America!
Bud Light and Budweiser are owned by a European globalist company named InBev.
Not American anymore.
Please publish the list of all A-B InBev beer brands everytime you write on the story. I don’t want to buy ANY beer from this company ever again.
It is around 400 brands. Most of my at – home consumption is exclusively from an independent brewer in Hershey, PA. (Troegs). When I attend a minor league hockey game in my area I used to buy Labatt Blue but that is a InBev brand so I switched to Yuengling.
There’s more of us than them…
One of the goals of marketing is to get current non-customers to think about buying your product. However, that must be done while making certain that your existing regular customers buy the product without thinking about it. It is a delicate task requiring intelligence, an understanding of human nature and intimate knowledge of your existing customers. There is no danger in making people that do not buy your product to think about not buying. What A-B did and compounded with doubling down was to make their existing customers think about why they were buying Bud Light and they thought they no longer wanted to buy Bud Light. A-B created a negative marketing ratchet.
Sales usually go up and down in waves. Customers come and go for different reasons. However, a negative marketing ratchet is created when a person decides to not buy a product while simultaneously deciding to never buy again. A customer lost is a permanent loss. This is marketing suicide and was entirely preventable.
FBL!
