HERE IT IS FOR THE FINAL TIME

There are things people do to escape from life's realities.
Relaxing and enjoying a beer is one of those things.
So when those simple pleasures in life have a woke agenda thrust upon them by some woke dumbass like the person who was on charge of Bud Advertising they get angry.
Does the beer taste different if there is a 'woke agenda'?

If they are angered because the beer company is being inclusive, then hate might just have something to do with it. anger and hate are kind of intertwined.

The beer company was trying to be accepting to everyone.
The chicken company was doing things to be not-accepting to everyone.

If bigots are angry, f' them.

If acceptance is angering evangelicals, f' them.

If a company was actively not accepting evangelicals, I'd not support that, but that doesn't happen. If accepting a gay person is considered 'not accepting to evangelicals' then they're just playing the victim without any victimization.

Chic Fila has one of the best sandwiches their fries are best in the fast food industry and they have revelationized the drive through.
People boycott them because of their Christian beliefs.
Bottom line is Jordan said it best Republicans buy shoes too.

Companies should keep their beliefs quiet. As for Bud I am 100pct sure that lady went out and did that on her own without the knowledge of people above her. She injected her personal beliefs onto her job.

Saying she was trying to open up a niche market is BS. There aren't enough people in that group to make it reasonable.

People do not want politics involved in every aspect if their lives. Especially in the things they do to escape from life's realities. Like enjoying a beer while relaxing.

In this country, everything has political overtones. That’s the challenge.

It is when it overlaps with things like abortion,gay rights or other political issues.

OK, but what Bud did impacted nobody's rights.

No. It didn’t impact anyone’s rights. That’s true. Obviously it alienated some of their customers. I doubt they anticipated that much of a reaction. I don’t know what they were attempting to achieve but clearly it didn’t work out for them. While their intentions may be good, they are in the beer selling business and I don’t see where this campaign is working for them.

The trans woman had over 2 million followers. That's reasonable to throw a few bucks at.

And again, exactly how does that campaign interfere with your enjoying a beer while relaxing?

You keep asking the same question over and over like a child.
It doesn't effect my beer drinking. I was attempting to give you the perspective from those it does bother.
But as usual you can only see things from your own perspective.

No, you haven't. It doesn't affect them at all. But hatred is what fuels the right. And you defend it. Hatred.

So here we go again opposition from liberals is based on beliefs and principles.
Opposition from conservatives is based on hatred.

Pretty much.

That's why they're boycotting a beer that made an ad with a trans person. That's why they're boycotting Chick Fil A because they have a policy on diversity and treating employees with respect.
