The conservative boycott against Budlight was actually successful. Why the fuck should we give Budlight a second chance when they didn't even apologize for pushing transgenderism? This is a terrible idea. (truthsocial.com)

Being devil's advocate here; it's a brand which has been around for decades and bud light is a pretty well known American beer.

From the actions of one marketer who tried pushing the ideology who has since been sacked. They've felt the sting of their customers and it'd be unlikely that they'd do it again. So if anything they'll be more inclined on making a product and focusing on their primary customer base again, no?

It cost them billions. They won't pander to the minority again- so why not give them a second chance?

Budlight's parent company is a Belgian company.

The main issue here is that they didn't even apologize at all.

Trump wants us to stop a boycott without us getting anything in return.

Trump is getting sweet donor shekels from Budlight and we should bend over for that?

Fuck no.

If the Right bends over without even extracting an apology, corporations will learn that all you need to push whatever leftism you want is do it and then get forgiveness by giving a few Shekels to Trump and he will make his supporters clap for it like seals.

This is a terrible idea.

Trump is a billionaire, it is pathetic to see him shilling for this.

Because the more this hurts, the more they and everyone else learns from it.

Because they haven't apologised.

Because the 'beer' tastes like shit.

Tactics, morals and product quality are all in alignment on this. There is no reason to drink that swill.

(E: AND gates is heavily invested in it now)

I want an apology, and I don't even drink

Actions have consequence, it is time they learn. They shall be an example for any foolish business that do not know best.

Do what again? Put a tranny on a can? Ok..

Well that's great, but what about their HR department, who was sacked there? Or the other people in advertising that hired or tolerated that one person? You think in an interview she's going to trash the customers, but at work she's guarded in what she says? They knew and they were okay with it.

Why not give them a second chance, because they only fired 1 when they should have fired 100. It's the same people there, the same snakes in HR.
