Bud Light, Ulta, Target, and Disney are big companies showing us that boycotting doesn’t work.
Dylan Mulvany, a boy dressing up as a girl and pretending to like Bud Light in his bathtub, enraged most of America, and a boycott was trotted out. People were reporting it was working. Yet, they are still in business. The only good thing about the “boycott” was that that dingbat woman was no longer in Bud Light’s marketing; Alissa Heinerscheid was placed on leave. I tried to Google where she is now and came up with a big fat nothing. I think she was eventually fired.
And now that The Don has spoken on the topic, all is forgiven.

I’m all for second chances since they eliminated that horrid woman. Someone on the news the other day, I think it was Greg Gutfield, argued a good point – that the thousands of workers at Anheuser-Busch had no say-so in that ridiculous decision to have a trans influencer be the spokesperson for Bud Light. And he’s right. So, for those employees alone, that is the only reason Bud Light should receive redemption. Then again, those employees haven’t lost their jobs because of a boycott.
The simple truth is that people want to drink Bud Light. They’ll make excuses and justify why they should be allowed to drink the beer once again with liberty. They are tired of the self-induced restriction.
Ulta
Speaking of Dylan Mulvaney, I decided to stop shopping at Ulta (boycott or not) when they decided to portray a male as a woman, all in the name of the diversity of women. No. Ridiculous. The Ulta podcast titled The Beauty Of… is hosted by David Lopez, a gender-fluid hairdresser whose Instagram is full of weird selfies. Dylan was on the podcast with his preposterous sketch of The Joy Of Girlhood. That’s enough. No more Ulta for me. I know I won’t break the giant makeup retailer, so it’s just the principle of the matter for me.
But I still get a Starbucks occasionally. And if Oreos are in front of me, I’ll eat them. But I buy my makeup online from Amazon or at our local Walgreens. I know there are probably things people can bring up about those two companies, too.
The Super Bowl is coming up. Another franchise people said they’d no longer support is the NFL, yet here we are. The NFL is doing just fine. People are liars.
It looks like this year’s Super Bowl will save Bud Light. Well, not save it because it doesn’t need saving, but it will make it okay now for you to be okay with drinking it again in public.
You know, a skinny Post Malone makes everything better, right?
It does look like all the Super Bowl commercials will be woke-free this year. Since I don’t have a team in the game this year, I’ll enjoy the commercials instead. But I will say this: GO SAN FRAN!
