A week after Anheuser-Busch unveiled its Bud Light partnership with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, customers and distributors alike have already begun commenting on the impact the woke ad campaign has had on business.
Notable celebrity responses from Kid Rock and Travis Tritt, for example, have decidedly made a difference on Bud Light, and by extension all Anheuser-Busch, sales through their vociferous reactions to the LGBT-infused ads.
Kid Rock dropped a short video that has since accumulated over 50 million views that shows him blasting away at cases of Bud Light. Travis Tritt announced on Twitter that his tour would no longer make products available if they came from Anheuser-Busch.
This is on top of the countless individual reactions from regular beer drinkers who shared on social media that they were done with the woke company and would start drinking someone else’s beer.
While the lament of many conservatives has always been that boycotts don’t catch on (think: woke NFL sports that millions still tune in to see or millions more who still vacation at Disney or watch their movies), perhaps the Bud Light situation might actually be different this time.
One alcohol distributor released a short video saying his job has now been noticeably impacted after just a single week, saying he might “not be able to feed” his family if beer sales don’t pick up. Take a look below at the real-life consequences of going woke.

“I work for an affiliate company. I am a merchandiser,” the man begins. “And the sole product of the company I work for is Anheuser Busch products. So with all this canceling going on there’s, I mean, I’ve never seen such little sales in this past few days on these products, and it’s sad because people don’t buy this beer.
“I don’t make money and I can’t feed my family,” he continued. “So it’s kind of heartbreaking. I guess, that Anheuser Busch did what they did. They don’t know their clientele. So it’s kind of heartbreaking.
“Thanks Anheuser Busch, I may not be able to feed my family coming up here soon,” he finished.
For reference, here was the ad spot that infuriated millions of customers:

To be sure, this is the impact of boycotts. Regular people who didn’t create or promote the campaign will be affected. Anheuser-Busch will survive as a company, but everyday Americans might be out of a job. Still, as sad as this story is, it’s still necessary.
“Better get another job then dude. We are not gonna support a company that does not respect women. Not men who pretend to be women, REAL women. My family and friends will never buy amhauser [sic] will again. And I imagine there a lot more who agree with me,” one Twitter user commented. “So… Buckle up Buttercup it’s gonna be a hard ride for ya.”
“It’s sad, but I refuse to blame the customers. If he wants to vent, he needs to go straight to his manager and explain the facts of sales to him. You do not increase sales by denigrating your base for the sake of Blackrock’s ESG/CEI scale. This needs to stop,” said another.
“We feel bad for you, but we aren’t ever going back. At least we who have principals. Still no sports (except UFC) Target or Chik-fil-a, for my family,” a third opined.
Indeed, this is the only way to stop the madness. Until enough people vote with their feet and wallets, the cultural Marxism that has infected every last inch of society will march unimpeded.
For reference to the Kid Rock video, here is how the American Tribune covered the hilarious video response. The American Tribune wrote:
Patriot rockstar Kid Rock reacted to the recent news that Budweiser had made Dylan Mulvaney one of its spokespersons by propping up a few cases of Bud Lights and lighting them up for target practice in a now-viral video circulating social media.
Rock has made it clear he despises the woke movement, and for this particular video, he simply turns around and says “Grandpa is feeling a little frisky today. Let me say something to all of you and be as clear and concise as possible.”
He then proceeds to open fire on the several cases, sending cardboard, aluminum, and beer flying – or outright disappearing in a barrage of lead.
Take a look at this hilarious response to one of the most outlandish woke campaigns yet.
