As Bud Light Goes Woke, Customers Go Away

For years, major American corporations have been moving to the far left, embracing radical causes and showing disdain for their customers. A perfect illustration occurred in 2020, in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death. The Claremont Institute discovered that major corporations gave $83.1 billion to the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and “related initiatives.” As noted by Claremont Institute, this amount is “more than the GDP of 46 African countries.”

Of course, it did not matter to the “hundreds” of corporate donors that the co-founders of BLM espoused Maoist ideology, purchased luxurious mansions, and gave massive salaries to family members. Even more troubling is that the stated mission of BLM includes an attack on “the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure.”

It seems the corporate leaders of America no longer care about fiscal responsibility to shareholders and are more interested in embracing concepts such as “social justice” and pursuing “diversity, equity, and inclusion” standards.

Another example of corporate wokeness was the Georgia boycott after the Republican majority in the state legislature passed mild election reforms in 2021. The fallout was intense, as Major League Baseball moved the All-Star game from Atlanta, and Delta and Coca-Cola vigorously criticized the new law.

Supposedly, the reforms were going to “suppress” voter turnout. Well, precisely the opposite happened in 2022, as voter turnout in the midterm election was record-breaking according to the Secretary of State’s office.

Despite this disastrous track record, American corporations are still affiliating with left-wing movements. The latest episode was revealed on April 1^st when transgender activist and social influencer Dylan Mulvaney released a new video drinking cans of Bud Light to celebrate “March Madness” and “day 365 of womanhood.”
