From Bud Light to Nike, Brands Are Facing Conservative Backlash for Featuring Trans

I think that last sentence illustrates just what is going on, and why it will fail. People are sick to death of the division, bigotry, hate that the RW promotes. In particular young ppl are far more accepting and open-minded, and are turned off by that rhetoric. They understand that accepting that LGBTQ ppl pose no threat to themselves or to children, and they know that merely being who you are is not shoving some agenda down someone's throat.

We should set up a poll here. I bet you very few, if any, of these Jethros hopping up and down and screeching about trans ppl even know one in real life. (I'd also bet that if there are any trans ppl in their family or circle, they are aware of the bigotry and keep quiet.) But to hear the Reichwingers on this forum and other social media venues talk, they're as common and in-your-face as the Hare Krishnas used to be at airports.

It is actually much bigger than that.

Young people are generally very hesitant voters. A tiny percent register and even fewer vote. They generally take very little interest in politics. And as they aged and got in to the work force and began to vote, many would have become more conservative minded and now vote that way.


this hate agenda, being pushed by the GOP is rousing them to vote in record numbers, but also rousing them to take passionate positions. These positions are far more likely to become sets parts of their identity, with many adopting a view of 'never going to vote GOP'. The GOP is creating a next generation of GOP haters, they will struggle to ever reach.

So while the GOP is focusing on an ever shrinking cohort of regretful white supremacists who want a do-over for the civil war and to roll back rights of POC and women to the mid 1800's, they are also creating a massive wave of voters at a young age, who likely now will never stop voting.

Trump, like Obama before him, roused enormous amounts of people to get up and vote, in an otherwise mostly declining voting market place. When Trumpism is gone, if prior voting patterns of 'low turnout' come back, Democrats could dominate in numbers rarely seen before. The hateful white supremacists, realizing they lost AGAIN will go back to being very low turnout and the GOP will have no other base to replace them.

The GOP actually had a real chance to capture the growing POC vote (latino's and AA) with their religious and conservative views and pivoting to embrace them. But they were jackpotted as that would cost them the hateful bigot votes part of their base.

Great analysis. I suspect that's why the big focus on "woke." Young ppl are woke, so they must paint it as a horrible thing to be, further dividing us.

Why They're Sticking to Their Decisions


Major brands are now increasingly partnering with transgender actors and influencers in their ad campaigns, with massive support from the LGBTQ community and its allies. Brands like Bud Light and Nike, however, have come under fire for featuring trans influencers like Dylan Mulvaney in the face of growing anti-trans hate and legislation.

Despite often being the targets of criticism from online trolls and conservative public figures, advertising shows no sign of slowing down in trans representation and continues to symbolize allyship.

“Including our community in marketing is nothing new, but what is new is the extreme right-wing politicization of a company’s creative and business decisions,” Sarah Kate Ellis, president of the NGO Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLADD), said in a statement to TIME. “Companies will not end the standard business practice of including diverse people in ads and marketing because a small number of loud, fringe of anti-LGBTQ activists make noise on social media.”


“Brands know that LGBTQ inclusion is good for business. It reaches our community and also reaches the growing number of consumers who want to see their LGBTQ friends and family members in ads and campaigns,” Ellis said.

Good news Conservatards!


This conservative dad has launched a new beer to own the Libz and stick it to Bud.

And don't worry about the cost, as the Right owning the libz should never be concerned with how much it costs them.

Ahh, but don't look to closely. Without the make-up, the photo editing...you meet this joker in person and you come away with the impression that something is off about how that woman looks.

Nope. InBev has lost money also.

InBev has gained 11.4% value in only one month. That is as far from being in trouble as possible.

If they have really lost money, as you claim, then this is a fantastic investing opportunity for you. The stock market has not realized that InBev is in trouble, so you should short InBev.

InBev has gained $13.1 billion, and they have given a non-apology. If you want a real apology, then you need to figure out a way to hurt them.

Beer Colossus Anheuser-Busch saw its value plummet more than $5 billion since the company announced its branding partnership with controversial transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Anheuser-Busch stock fizzled more than 1.5% on Wednesday.

Bud Light has not lost $5 billion. InBev is down $4.4 billion from its all time high... Most stocks are slightly down from their all time high. Bud Light is not a stock.

The price is up 11.4% in one month, and is now bouncing around close to its high. This is not a stock in trouble.
