Conservatives Have Found Their Power

Being a conservative in America has rarely, and only then for short periods of time, been an empowering experience. Most of the country and its institutions are against conservatives — the administrative state and federal bureaucracy, mainstream media, Hollywood, the music industry, sports leagues, higher education, labor unions…the list goes on and on. 

Every now and then, however, conservatives find themselves driving change in a way that the world can’t ignore. Such has been the case in recent weeks in response to a number of large corporations choosing to embrace and engage in transgender activism. 

Americans of most political stripes, but especially with conservatives at the helm, launched significant boycotts of both Bud Light over its partnership with biological male Dylan Mulvaney and Target over its new swimwear line that includes “women’s” options made specifically to allow biological men to “tuck” their definingly male features away. 

The result: massive losses for both companies. 

Bud Light’s reputation has been tanked, with plenty of anecdotal evidence of the boycott’s success via photos of untouched rows of the suds in grocery and convenience stores, at sporting events, and pretty much everywhere the beer is sold. Beyond the photos, there’s hard data to prove the success of boycotts against the Anheuser-Busch brand.
