Now Who’s A Snowflake?

It doesn’t take much to set off a Republicans in to a tizzy, just have a trans person as your spokesperson in an ad.

Kid Rock Buys Cases of Bud Light So He Can Shoot Them While Crying
Conservatives are desperately trying to convince themselves that Anheuser-Busch will go bankrupt for partnering with trans actor and TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER one-sided battle in the culture war.

This time, it’s transphobic right-wingers versus Budweiser, a beer brand known less for its great taste than for being more widely available than clean tap water in America. The issue? The brand partnered with trans actor and activist Dylan Mulvaney, who has documented her transition in a viral “Days of Girlhood” TikTok series. This past weekend, she posted a video in which she was jokingly clueless about March Madness and revealed that she’d received a special Bud Light with her face on it — to celebrate Day 365, one full year since her journey began. Again, this was a single beer can with Mulvaney’s likeness on it, and it didn’t even appear on the grid: You had to look at her Instagram stories to see it.

So like any Republican red-neck what does he do? He grabs his gun.

Apart from stumbling across this online ad, your typical Bud drinker would never know of such an endorsement. But prominent reactionaries currently engaged in a war on trans people have social networks that allow them to quickly amplify and exaggerate this kind of thing to each other until, for example, aging phony redneck musician Kid Rock believes that the beer itself is now a symbol of trans rights, and films himself weeping about it before blowing away a few cases with an assault rifle.

Wearing a hat emblazoned with the slogan of a former president being arraigned today in New York on 34 felony counts, Mr. Rock turned to a camera, his eyes brimming with tears and pain. Nevertheless, he claimed to be feeling “frisky” before announcing that he had a message that he wanted to make “as clear and concise as possible.” He then aimed his MP5 submachine gun at a display of Bud Light 12-packs and squeezed off a good number of rounds, exploding some while appearing to miss one box entirely.

“Fuck Bud Light, and fuck Anheuser-Busch,” he concluded while flipping off the camera.

So like a good little MAGA he retaliates with a gun to punish Anheuser-Busch!

Rock mentioning the brewer (which makes Budweiser) by name hinted at the possibility of a boycott. If so, the culture warriors have their work cut out for them: Anheuser-Busch is no longer just a good old-fashioned St. Louis beer brand but a subsidiary of AB InBev, the multinational conglomerate that happens to be the largest brewer in the world, with annual sales of around $50 billion.

But, as ever, the snowflake patrol did not seem to realize that buying a product just to performatively destroy or toss it out does not exactly hurt the manufacturer’s bottom line. Sebastian Gorka, formerly Deputy Assistant to President Trump, tweeted a video in which he dropped an entire six-pack of full beer bottles in the trash, also rejecting the concept of recycling. He seemingly did not realize he was recording for the first five seconds of the clip, and the hashtag he coined was mainly picked up by bots.

Here is what set him off with a machine gun!

Do you think he might have anger issues? And here he is going around with machine guns and assault type weapons!

That is the Republican answer to everything...Guns and violence!

From NBC News...

March Madness may be over, but the right-wing fury directed toward Bud Light and one of its partners during the annual NCAA basketball tournament is still simmering. 

[...]

In the two days since Mulvaney’s post about Bud Light, which is owned by Anheuser-Busch, countless videos have been shared online showing consumers dumping their Bud Light products in trash bins and down sinks — and even violently destroying cans of the beer. 

Hey guys, you already bought the beer they don't care what you do with it after you buy it.
