 Believe it or not we're now just two months away from the one-year anniversary of the right-wing freakout over Bud Light and at this point a Lot of prominent conservatives have pretty much just moved on even kid rock announced that he's forgiven the company And he's no longer boycotting Bud Light after spearheading the initial boycott against them And even Donald Trump is telling conservatives that it's time to forgive and forget writing on truth social quote The Bud Light ad was a mistake of epic proportions and for that a very big price was paid But Anheuser-Busch is not a well company, but I can give you plenty that are now He goes on to make the case for them by explaining how they've spent money supporting farmers and also given away thousands of dollars of Scholarship money and concludes by saying Anheuser-Busch is a great American brand that perhaps deserves a second chance What do you think well? Trump? I think we should all consider what would Jesus do and I think that Jesus would want us to forgive Bud Light for their sins He would want us to forgive this beer company for doing the unthinkable and Featuring a trans person in one of their sponsored social media posts. That's what I think he would do But I mean I've got to say it almost sounds like Bud Light sent Trump a can with his face on it and paid him to Do a social media post with the way that he was gushing about them But they didn't sponsor him at least not in that way But Anheuser-Busch's lobbyist is hosting a fundraiser for him So there's that and it also doesn't hurt that he owns between one and five million dollars in stock in the company So you know part of me wonders if he would still be willing to forgive and forget if it weren't for that conflict of interest But who knows you know Trump is usually a pretty straightforward honest guy So I'm assuming that he's just really speaking from the heart here But I mean Trump basically said what a lot of other conservatives were already thinking I think that secretly most conservatives think that the Bud Light freak out is fucking stupid But they don't want to say that because they'd get flamed by conservatives who feel really passionately about this But since Trump said it now a lot of conservatives think it's safe for them to say it as well For example, Caitlyn Jenner decided to share Trump's post and echo his remarks writing on Twitter quote as someone that worked for This incredible American company and got to know them very well. I raced for Anheuser-Busch in the 80s I agree with real Donald Trump look at what the company does for so many Americans and their track record over the years They made a huge mistake and I've paid a large price. I think it is time to move forward I'm saying we should focus on big picture agreeing with 45 now It's been a while So I just want to take a little bit of time to remind everyone what this supposedly huge mistake was Bud Light sent one trans woman a single can of beer with her face on it for one social media post It wasn't a commercial that aired everywhere. It was a sponsored social media post But according to Caitlyn Jenner that right there is tantamount to the company making a huge mistake Now I'm not gonna defend a corporation because corporations in general are bad. They dodge taxes They buy off politicians But in this instance the fact that they did a sponsored social media post not necessarily my priority not necessarily Something that I would bring up in a criticism of large multinational corporations But I don't actually think that Caitlyn Jenner believes that they made a huge mistake because if she actually believes that Then she'd also have to think that a Fox News made a huge mistake by hiring her to be a contributor But she's not arguing that Fox News went woke for hiring her because she's also trans right of course now That'd be preposterous. So what is she trying to do here? Well, she's trying to placate conservatives by throwing another trans woman under the bus in hopes that they'll accept her as The only good one, but it doesn't work that way Caitlyn because the conservatives who are still outraged at Bud Light Aren't simply mad because they think the company went woke or something to them. It's worse than that the company Indirectly acknowledged the inherent validity of Dylan Mulvaney's transness and they celebrated her gender identity That to them is unacceptable because they don't think that trans people should exist in the first place including you Caitlyn But Caitlyn Jenner has deluded herself into thinking that her conservative comrades might actually accept her if she says what they want her to say But they will never accept her unless she renounces her own gender identity and disavows everything that she ever said about trans people Now I'm not saying this because I have some unique unique insight into the minds of trans folks I'm saying this because that's what they're saying It's evident because of the way that they treat her for example She was absolutely skewered for that post and unsurprisingly many of the conservatives replied by misgendering and dead naming her One person says bro come on if you want to know what dissent is meant by listless vessel Here is a prime example. No dead name. They had their chance now You have another person that misgenders her this person tells her she lacks self-awareness This person says a transgender person says Bud Light isn't woke great endorsement This person also misgenders her saying dude, you aren't helping his case lol fair enough dead name I may have a Bud wiser again if it is the last one in the cooler You however are not the guy to make the case for them So just being completely cruel and this person shared a gif making fun of her But at least they had the courtesy to not misgender her I guess so I mean There's that but the most viral response I saw came from this person who tried to hypocrisy burn her writing Bud Light screwed up by working with the trans influencer But they're not woke to prove it. Here's a message from our trans influencer Now that was retweeted by Matt Walsh another ringleader of the Bud Light boycotts Who then responded to Trump's original post by saying Anheuser-Busch has not issued an apology backing off of the most effective conservative boycott in history without even an apology would turn one of our biggest recent victories Into one of our dumbest self-owns So these are the kinds of people who she is pandering to and I love how he's just so proud of this Just to kind of put everything into perspective when leftists try to organize boycotts It's because the corporation is union busting, right? Or they're treating their workers terribly or they're doing something donating to politicians Who are doing evil things? Leftists are currently organizing unions for tenants and protesting police brutality and calling for a ceasefire for humanitarian reasons and Gaza and Right-wingers meanwhile are organizing boycotts of woke beer companies I mean one side is completely unserious and the other side is actually trying to improve the lives of people The difference is stark But to get back to Caitlyn Jenner You would think that she'd learned by now that it is literally impossible to ingratiate herself with the right so long as she's trans But she's not taking the hint and rather than opposing people who don't want her to exist She's instead parroting their transphobic talking points. It's actually really sad if you think about it Now at the end of the day what this comes down to is freedom Trans people just want to be themselves We all have the right to pursue happiness as human beings And that's exactly why trans people choose to come out and transition in the first place In fact lgbtq nation reports the following quote 94 percent of transgender people said that they were either a little or a lot more satisfied with their lives Since they transitioned at the 2022 us transgender survey by the national center for transgender equality found Now to put that in perspective lance from the serfs explains for comparison People who get knee surgery can report dissatisfaction at rates as high as 30 percent But there's no one protesting outside of their doctor's offices and that is exactly correct So being trans is beautiful because transitioning is a radical act of self-love It requires courage and drive and I find that incredibly admirable But that doesn't mean that if they transition their lives are going to be easier despite being more happier with themselves Because that same survey also found the following lgbtq nation continues while transgender people were overwhelmingly Satisfied with their personal decisions regarding their transitions. They often found that others around them were not supportive Only 67 percent of adult respondents whose families knew that they were trans So that their families were supportive of them and 12 percent said that their families were unsupported. That's so sad That number increased for 16 to 17 year old trans people 29 percent said that their families were unsupportive The study also found evidence of widespread anti trans discrimination 18 percent of respondents said they were unemployed far higher than the 3.6 Percent unemployment rate for the whole us population in november of 2022 Additionally 34 percent said that they were living in poverty and 11 percent said that they had lost the job due to their Gender identity or expression three percent said that they were physically attacked due to their identity in the previous 12 months And 30 percent said that they were verbally harassed because of their trans identity in their previous 12 months 5 percent of us ts respondents said that they had already left their state Due to anti trans legislation and 47 percent said that they considered leaving their state Since even more anti trans legislation was introduced and passed in 2023 than in 2022 The numbers could be higher now Alabama, arizona, florida, georgia, missouri, north carolina, ohio, tennessee, texas, and virginia Were the most likely states for trans people to leave and it's so sad but not surprising And as silly as the hysteria over bud light is we can't just dismiss it as conservative snowflakery Conservatives being stupid even though that is what it is But what this is about Is them trying to eliminate trans people from existence Don't take my word for it. Listen to what they say. This is what michael nulls said the goal is they want to Eliminate them from existence. I think that the specific word that he used was eradicate And the reason why hysteria over this boycott matters and is really serious is because the people screaming the loudest about the bud light boycott Are the constituents of republicans enacting laws that criminalize trans existence in these states and this attack on trans existence Isn't merely political it is an act of violence both directly and indirectly for example NBC news reports NBC news identified 33 instances starting in november of 2020 When people or institutions singled out by libs of tiktok later reported bomb threats or other violent intimidation The threats which on average came several days after tweets from libs of tiktok targeted schools libraries hospitals small businesses and elected officials in 16 states washington dc and the canadian province of ontario 21 of the 33 threats were bomb threats which most commonly targeted schools and were made via email The threats have been taking up government resources and have been highly distracting in response to the threats Some schools canceled classes for days while others stayed open following quick sweeps from law enforcement Now chai reichic the stochastic terrorist who inspired these threats has been embraced by republicans and been embraced by transphobes They like what she's doing. They don't mind that she is inspiring bomb threats against any schools or libraries that are supposedly indoctrinating kids into lgbtq plus Things that's not how it works. You can't make someone be gay or trans. They just are or they're not But they like that she's terrorizing people essentially in fact She was just appointed to the oklahoma department of education library media advisory committee meaning she's going to get to decide For your kids what's appropriate even though she doesn't have kids So they're not trying to hide their desire to violently eradicate trans people by any means necessary But katelyn genner thinks that they're going to stop at her for some reason It's delusional But let this be a lesson to her and anyone else who's still in denial about the right genocidal intent Their goal is to eliminate all lgbtq plus people and these fascists Cannot be reasoned with anyone who tries to negotiate with these terrorists about the terms of the existence of an entire group of people Is just as bad as them as far as i'm concerned So even though it is really disheartening to see any lgbtq plus person be subjected to that much hate and vitriol Simply because of who they are katelyn genner She's the one who chose to prioritize her class interests over her own humanity This is the bed that she made for herself and now she has to line it i'm gay i'm transgender
