    It also caused completely rational responses from the far right, like machine gunning cases of Bud Light. Also, at least for a little while, they stomped off in a huff to buy other brands of InBev for a while, LOL.

    Reading about it here…it’s interesting to note that their stock is now higher than it was before the boycott started - it’s around $84 a share for InBev right now, and $66 when the all the butthurt over trans started.

    I wonder if Gates still has all his shares that he bought at $56…

      I would applaud their stock increase after the blow up over Mulvaney if it hadn’t been for the fact that they dropped her like a fucking rock the moment that shit hit the fan. They left her in the cold while people were sending death threats and harassing the ever living shit out of her meanwhile Budweiser tried their damnedest to convince the country and the world that they had completely reversed course on any trans inclusion or sympathy.

      So the Budweiser corporation or whatever conglomerate they are a subsidiary of can get fucked I won’t touch that piss water for all the tea in China.

        Oh right, yeah. It resulted in them getting boycotted from both sides. I just have to laugh that the RW seems think they did any long-term damage to them…

          Yes, there is an old saying that any publicity is good publicity.

          And for about half a year Budweiser was on the minds and mouths of just about any media person who had a platform.
