Honestly, I don't even have room to be mad at Budweiser. They did what I knew they'd do. Corporations obviously were really only thinking about trying to make more money by trying to appeal to as many consumers as possible, and when members of the far right seized this opportunity to run off their hate, of course Budweiser only did what they thought would save them the most money.

Like, wow, a shitty corporation does something shitty. Not surprising.

Yes, Budweiser should have stuck by Mulvaney and supported her but I'm not surprised. Just rolled my eyes and thought, "yep another day at the giant corporation factory".

And this is why we need to step up and push back on hatred of bigots really wanting to hate on minority groups with no repercussions.

No one should EVER expect any corporations to do the right thing.

Like,a bit off topic but Neymar still has a career after a Nike employee accused him of attempted rape. He remained at the company after the event and then it wasn't until much later after they investigated the whole thing did they sever ties with Neymar.
And they didn't even come forward with WHY they severed ties with him.

We can take the corporation money because how else will any of us live our lives and be active participants in society if we don't (corporations made sure that'd happen), but I stopped giving a shit if these companies will "do the right thing" because oftentimes, they won't.
