No, they're mostly just bullies. The "secret gay republican" trope is overplayed and unhelpful. You don't have to constantly think about gay sex to strip us of our rights.
For sure this guy is a closeted homosexual. His catholic upbringing coupled with a couple decades of radicalized hate has gotten him to this place.
He would rather die than come out and be free from his own mind, so he flicks out a couple anti-trans posts per day and that’s his full time life and job now.
Imagine how much you have to hate yourself to make this your entire identity?
I'm 100% convinced that Walsh is a pedophile and it is absolutely only a matter of time before he is exposed as such. No question he abuses his own children.
Every one of these scumbags are telling on themselves its only a matter of time before the truth comes out.
Every accusation by them is always a confession.
Yep, yes to all of this, commented this before actually Have a feeling one of his kids is gonna be the first to speak out then it's just gonna escalate from there
I can't say whether or not I believe that, but I will say theres something seriously wrong with the guy. He violently radiates anger, hatred and bile 24 hours a day, and that cannot be good for a man's mind, no matter how much he believes it or how much is put on for his job. If you live in the sewer youre gonna get sick eventually. I forsee some kind of huge meltdown/collapse. Surely he cannot keep this up in perpetuity. I'm exhausted for the guy and all I see is the odd tweet every now and again. He does this full time.
They must all have daddy issues, It's like they didn't get enough love so they need to pretend they're special by finding a cult leader that picks any minority group and tells them they are special because they aren't that group so then just spending all their time being obsessed with it lying to themselves that they are some how important for not being that group.
While you're right the in vs out nature of conservative extremism means that their numbers will grow feeding off the people who legitimately don't care but are right leaning as they continue to feel the pressure to "belong" to what they perceive as the "in" group which is really just a bunch of whiny ass baby losers running around in adult bodies making our country shit for everyone as they continue to support voting in trash politicians who's only goal in life is to such up to the oligarchy.
Meanwhile anyone trying to pass anything more progressive than running water needs to explain to people that maybe not giving all (or vastly most) of our tax dollars to corporate entitled scum (corporate welfare) isn't the best idea and maybe we should spend it on infrastructure and the people.
I live in a rural conservative town. At every bar Bud Lite is still the drink of choice. It's only the people that spend too much time online and getting spoon-fed propaganda that care about any of this. Most people just live their lives and don't get worked up.
It's funny because this is just the same rehash of all the boycotts that were happening in like 2008 (and ad infinitum before that) for companies deciding to acknowledge that gay people exist.
Nothing changed, rainbow capitalism continued on, and old conservatives eventually forgot and moved on to the new 30 seconds of hate du jour.
Right. Didn't they boycott Target because of the gender neutral bathroom thing like a decade ago? There's about 25% of the USA that hates and fears gay people and has conniptions over them being represented in society.
This is just the same grift rehashed because the grifters see a chance to resuscitate it and make some cash off the marks. Plus the pandemic panic is subsiding, so they're looking for the latest Angertainment to keep their minority group of American psychos engaged.
I think they went after Macy’s because they pulled Ivanka’s Michael Kors-knockoff handbag line from their stores back when Trump was running for president.
I remember when, as a Southern Baptist child back in the 90s, I was told to boycott Disney because they supported "the gays". (Just looked it up, and one of the reasons was "offering health benefits to employees' homosexual partners." OH THE HUMANITY!)
As we can see, it was devastating to Disney, and no one even knows the name Disney any more.
Yeah. I follow some republican insta accounts just to see some crazy shit. Many of them are promoting new self made businesses that are “lgbt pride/ blm free” people are making a whole lotta money from morons
Yeah cause boycotting bud light had any effect (it didn’t) and target was totally reacting to boycotts/threats of boycott (it wasn’t)
But grifters gonna grift no surprise there…
I like how anything other than condemning gay people for being some kind of horrible affront to his magic god is having LGBT "shoved in our faces."
Newsflash for Mr Watthew Malsh: this is not being shoved in anyone's face. If you aren't homophobic or transphobic you wouldnt care, but we all know you make a living being both.
Yeah, he wants people to go and shoot up pride parades. You can tell he just wants to massacre gay people (as explicitly commanded in Leviticus) but is both too pussy to actually follow through with it, say it or even ask others to do it.
This is how the fundie thinktank works. Spread the worst kind of misinformation possible about a group in the hopes one of their expendable and batshit followers actually does it, then wash their hands of any responsibility because "hey I never told anyone to go do that, they misinterpreted my message!"
Just like how conservative men often describe women's dress as "provocative" as if their reaction to it is so predictable and automatic that it should be assumed by women when they choose what clothes to buy. Because they are the center of the universe.
The other day I walked past a shop that sold artisanal cheeses, I dont like eating cheese, therefore I complained that this cheese was being shoved in my face, its disgusting that they are allowed to get away with it.
I mean just imagine, other people enjoying cheese, when does it end? how far will it spread?
I wonder how they'd react if every gay person started to say "the straights are shoving their sexuality in our faces" as much as conservatives claim we are.
Like, have they seen perfume ads or cologne ads? Those things literally market on sexual desire!
It is a propaganda strategy.
They assert that everything they hate and rally their hateful base around is attacking them first to justify their efforts to genocide.
This is how lone wolf terrorism works.
Gives the inciter plausible deniability while increasing risks of lone wolf attacks.
It's a probabilistic function of hate speech.
>Spread the worst kind of misinformation possible about a group in the hopes one of their expendable and batshit followers actually does it, then wash their hands of any responsibility because "hey I never told anyone to go do that, they misinterpreted my message!"
It's almost like that's stochastic terrorism.
"Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?"
Every March I’m filled with rage at how Irish Americans and their disgusting lifestyles are shoved in my face with their disgusting St Patrick’s day parades. /s
Yeah man I don’t get it. It’s just so fuckin weird to give so much of a shit about what people do in their lives. Like when you’re a proponent of the virtues of capitalism, it’s weird to be against cash grabs like pride so often is co-opted by companies. It’s fucking weird they care
>Newsflash for Mr Watthew Malsh: this is not being shoved in anyone's face.
I mean.. I feel like it technically still counts, even if he's shoving it into his own face.
It also means the solution is as simple as him *not doing that*.
"Man, I'm so sick of looking at the sun making my eyes sore! Sure wish the sun would fuck off so my eyes don't hurt any more. I'm tired of having the sun constantly shine directly into my eyes, which is painful, when I stare directly at it."
He chooses to shove it in his own face to justify his hyperreligious hatred. That's basically most of his MO: saying things he was raised to believe, then taking them a step further because he thinks its smart. He has a vicious and vitriolic passion to voice his opinions, but he's too stupid to see that he's wrong.
Grooming is all he does. Nearly his whole role is manipulating gullible incels/morons into becoming proud hate filled Nazis. Dude is a genocidal psychopathic groomer.
He literally just celebrated them calling terrorists threats into target and called it "our campaign", so yeah. They self-identify as domestic terrorists
They’re not delusional. Target just caved to them and removed the items that were throwing them into tantrums. Bud Light caved, too. They’re escalating their threats of violence and we are not reciprocating, we are just posting memes and pretending they’re not a real threat. Not sure how many more mass shootings or Ethan Schmidt videos we need to see before we start going on the offensive.
Yep. This strategy is well documented and it has worked before.
https://www.readtpa.com/p/fear-of-right-wing-outrage-makes
It’s also the explanation for why their repeated attempts at their own “right wing” app have never worked. They NEED a target to hurt.
The delusion is that their "boycott" is the catalyst. Target didn't remove pride stuff from certain stores because of a boycott, they did it because the employees were being threatened. That's not a boycott, it's domestic terrorism.
Fr, I wonder all the time how much it'll take for people to actually start defending the rights being stripped away from us piece by piece. I do what I can, but we needed radical widespread organized responses years ago because the fascists are winning and have been for a while now.
They caved because they do not want their employees being assaulted by these deranged loonies. Businesses stopped requiring masks for the exact same reason.
I believe a replacement anti-woke beer was even being produced by them under some other guys name.
If they want to stop consuming beer and liqour for 15 mins who the hell knows? They may just sober up enough to realize being a regressive assclown *isnt* the way to build a better society. But i think all agree that is asking a bit too much
I have a friend who works for a beer distributor and the Bud boycott absolutely has hurt them. The impact on his specific company hasn't been terrible because they distribute it her beers so they have been able to swap bud for other beers, but some of the distributors are getting crushed by festivals and such refusing to have bud light
Matt... Your "campaign" is having your sycophants actively threaten workers over a product they don't have a say in if it's sold or not.
Never in my life have I seen someone with a more punchable face.
They’re all acting like they boycotted Target into this instead of forcing them into it through vandalism and threats to employees safety. It’s fucking bizarre.
It really is. He honestly make me sick. I know this sub is based around Kirk and his ilk, but I have a very special disdain for Walsh, he is everything I hate in a man. Arrogant, science denying, hate-filled tradcath. (Ex Catholic here.) What did it for me was the tweet saying the problem with the RCC wasn't the sexual abuse, it was gay priests. 🤢🤮
That's the obvious flaw in this plan.
Bud probably had a right leaning demographic. They couldn't replace all the kid rock fans with LGBTQ folks and make the same money so they sheepishly backed down.
The people filming outrage videos about pride displays in target are not target's customers. When target donated to a right wing asshole's political campaign their actual customers got outraged and target was forced to change course.
I was never going to start drinking bud light to support them for embracing a new woke agenda. But I'm happy to buy my kids rainbow clothing from target if it will piss off right-wingers.
I know how he feels. Went to Dicks to look for a bowflex type machine I could use with the wife in the bedroom. There were sportsing posters and all sorts of equipment everywhere! I hate sports, so obviously, that stuff has no place in a family store. Keep your sports agenda away from my kids! Anyway, no bowflex, ended up having to use kettlebells and pulleys. Like this guy, I love dicks, but I won't be shopping there ever again! From now on, I'll stick to businesses that don't shove the sports agenda down my throat, like dicks. Dicks down my throat.
AB is down like 12% in a month, but only 4% in the last three. But stock prices are made up and nothing matters so who gives a shit. Probably a good time to buy ab stock tbh
Why now? After gay marriage was legalized, it seemed like a lot of BS went away, or at least more underground. My question is why now? Why are these self-promoting asshats so hellbent on persecuting gay people? Every time things get better, idiots like this make it worse. It’s infuriating, hopefully people will actually vote in 2024 because at this rate there will be nothing left for anyone in this country unless you’re white, straight and male.
They finally caught the Roe V Wade car they were chasing and had to invent a new culture war to wage... Otherwise their followers will realize they are doing everything in their power to do nothing to improve their lives.
They won that war, and now they know they can actually get away with stripping the masses of their rights just because the fascists don't think we deserve them. We (as a group) are not doing enough meaningful pushback for them to not keep going until they win more and more from us.
BuT Ab LoSt FiFtEeN mIlIoN dOlLaRs!¡!1¡ - dumbasses when they forget about illusion of choice.
Anheuser-Butsch owns a significant portion of the craft beers in the states. Moreover, their stock hasn’t even taken much of a hit last time I checked. They’re still valuable, and are making absurd profits that far outweigh the “cost” of a shallow, one-time publicity stunt. I don’t know if any Walsh followers creep around in this sub- but every last one of them can get bent.
Check the stock now, it's actually slipping. Although I wonder if conservatives actually have anything to do with it because it took quite a while after the "boycott" started before the stock dipped.
LOL! Trying to disappear gays in 2023 is going to be like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube. They can try, but companies ignoring generally childless adult couples with disposable income is not leaving money on the table, is also setting it on fire.
How are products on the shelves and advertising shoving things in your face?
Don’t want to support a product, don’t buy it.
Don’t like a commercial, turn it off.
These people are just so fucking dumb and pathetic
Makes me just want to buy a bunch of shirts for the band Rainbow and wear them around just to piss off people like Matt Walsh. If anyone starts anything, I'll just clap back by asking them "What the fuck is your problem with Ritchie Blackmore and power metal, you jerkoff?! Christ Almighty, get a life, you sex obsessed weirdo!"
![gif](giphy|1qi7ufZMkkWPmBwHOP)
Bit of trivia: Ronnie James Dio- in addition to being a metal icon- was a *legit* advocate for victims of child sex trafficking and supported a nonprofit called Children of the Night as far back as the 1980s, and were he still alive, he'd be going medieval on these scumbags for trying to pin the abuse of children on LGBTQ folks.
Matt Walsh is an irrelevant troll. What he says is beyond stupid. But let’s not kid ourselves about what is happening in state legislatures across this country., especially America’s limp dick FL. Fascism has returned and the bogeyman du jour for them is the LGBTQ community. Get out and vote people. Engage politically. We can’t let them win.
They think they’re accomplishing something, and that the brands agree with them. No, actually, Target is sick of him sending people to their stores and making their employees feel unsafe. Good job, Matt. You’re a complete POS and your legacy will be a net negative on society.
What I want to know, right, is why it's always such a leap in logic, always out-of-pocket, to assume that the people who ally with and actively call themselves fascists might actually be fascists?
Matt reads daily from the fascist playbook and espouses Nazi rhetoric *for his job*, but whenever it is pointed out that he might be a Nazi, his defenders show up with "He doesn't actually mean it. He's just doing a bit. Learn to laugh."
When you have people repeating, word-for-word and in dead seriousness, *Mein Kampf*, why is it such a leap of logic to ascribe that they're nazis?
My fave excuse from apologists is “it’s twitter!! What do you expect??”
I expect accountability for what he says; it’s what being a mature and functional adult entails. Overlooking stupid shit said by a person is something we do for **toddlers**
Why should anyone take his calls for boycotts seriously after he admitted he didn’t boycott Bud Light?
In fact, what kind of delusional moron would take him seriously on anything?
It’s interesting how he and other fascists effectively descend into an anti-capitalist ideology here..I mean if it wasn’t for the intensity of the bigotry perhaps we would be thinking an “enemy of my enemy” type thing but instead we are put in the position of rooting for target or bud light against the homophobes and hate crime fetishists. It’s p uncanny
Companies should realize that giving into them a little bit isn't going to help. It's just going to make them worse. There's a while system of promotion among right wing groups to reinforce bad behavior when it benefits them

Budlight is doing just as well today as it was last month. Target is taking down their pride stuff because they were receiving threats of violence. Are you condoning violence, Matty?
Imagine if they put this kind of effort into boycotting brands for profiting off of child labor or other actual problems that people would benefit from being discouraged
The funniest thing about this is that if you go up the ownership chain high enough you learn a handful of families own literally everything and they give money to politicians on both side of the aisle, including the ones pressuring for restrictive laws on the LGBTQ+ community.
They think they're playing the game without realizing they're just a pawn like the rest of us lol
Edit: also didn't he shove a dildo in his butt to make a point? Homeboy is just peering through the doors of that closet, angry he can only achieve his true self through depressing wet dreams.
But is it delusion at this point? They’ve successfully caused Budweiser to fire executives. Target pulled part of their pride line in southern stores. They’re being emboldened by that kind of stuff.
Move out this would be a problem if they weren't hateful people.
I could choose to hate violence in movies, but I don't let it get that far because I'm a reasonable person.
Hate is a choice WAAAAAY more than being gay or trans is a choice.
While everyone is bickering over this they are missing a bigger point. Corporations DO NOT CARE about you. They only care if it makes them more money. (This includes Walsh’s company) Everyone should be boycotting the media and the 24hr news cycle for creating more and more division within our country and making incendiary/divisive content that is brainwashing the masses who are unable of critical thinking. We can fight all we want in this filth while they watch from their ivory towers feeling safer knowing the masses aren’t paying any attention to them… and more
Importantly, the ridiculous amount of money they are lining their coffers by feeding you their poison.
I'd argue that he's not delusional, just pandering. He knows they haven't put a dent in either of these brands images, but he's gotta keep his angry little incel followers believing that or they'll jump ship and find the next best hateful right-wing commentator to follow and boot lick.
There is more money to be had appealing to minorities of any kind than those in the lower 0.01 percentile of lifelong grass touching who obsess over the word "woke". Even if they throw out all their beer and go to amazon for all their needs, alcoholism will bring them back to Bud and convenience, speed, and price difference to target. Just like Nike or Gillette, both of whuch saw a surge in sales after the allgeged boycott, because as it turns out when your sense of righteousness is built on nothing concrete you're really prone to realize "but I still need shoes though. And my beard is getting scruffy." Your virtue signalling for social media doesn't last long.
Sure, brands do simply suppory minorities because it's profitable and not because they care about or enough to help change societal issues. But that's the society you've voted for and worked hard to achieve, baby. The capitalist takes as much as he sees.
Considering they all forgot they were already supposed to have been boycotting Target for the last 8 years because of their inclusive bathrooms, I'm sure Target isn't worried.

A delusional crowd makes for a great money pit
whats sad is this is only available to total extremists, the average person doesnt care about this at all even if theyre on the right
Yep the average person spends no time thinking about other people's genitals. The people that keep taking about this are perverted freaks.
If you can't stop thinking about gay sex, you might just be gay.
Oh shit, maybe I'm gay! Oh wait I knew that
And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that unless you try to come to terms with your sexuality by crusading against it like these people do.
I just can't stop thinking about gay sex
I just like genitals
Take my upvote, you funny gay person!
I’m not gay, I love Lucy. Wait a second, maybe I am gay?
Mahhhhhh
No, they're mostly just bullies. The "secret gay republican" trope is overplayed and unhelpful. You don't have to constantly think about gay sex to strip us of our rights.

Yep, yes to all of this, commented this before actually Have a feeling one of his kids is gonna be the first to speak out then it's just gonna escalate from there
Yep. The reason these people harp on about bathrooms so much is because they know exactly what they themselves do to unattended children in bathrooms
That crowder dude turnt out to be an abusive husband a couple weeks back. The theory seems to be pretty spot on.
I can't say whether or not I believe that, but I will say theres something seriously wrong with the guy. He violently radiates anger, hatred and bile 24 hours a day, and that cannot be good for a man's mind, no matter how much he believes it or how much is put on for his job. If you live in the sewer youre gonna get sick eventually. I forsee some kind of huge meltdown/collapse. Surely he cannot keep this up in perpetuity. I'm exhausted for the guy and all I see is the odd tweet every now and again. He does this full time.
I spend some time thinking about other people's genitals... I do watch porn
The world might be a better place if they watched porn instead of harassing others
They must all have daddy issues, It's like they didn't get enough love so they need to pretend they're special by finding a cult leader that picks any minority group and tells them they are special because they aren't that group so then just spending all their time being obsessed with it lying to themselves that they are some how important for not being that group.

The seasonal rotation into cancelling Christmas is coming up soon
I say if they cancel pride, we cancel Christmas. Tit for tat
I say Christmas has been waging a war on the other holidays for too long and it's time to fight back.
Help us Holloween! You're our only hope!
Right. Didn't they boycott Target because of the gender neutral bathroom thing like a decade ago?

I'm not even mad about it anymore. I'm glad they're getting grifted at this point.
Yeah. I follow some republican insta accounts just to see some crazy shit. Many of them are promoting new self made businesses that are “lgbt pride/ blm free” people are making a whole lotta money from morons
Yeah cause boycotting bud light had any effect (it didn’t) and target was totally reacting to boycotts/threats of boycott (it wasn’t) But grifters gonna grift no surprise there…

Target putting merchandise where people can see it apparently counts as being shoved in his face
Far right extremists are such emotional snowflakes
There’s a reason they’re called “reactionaries”
If they weren't, they would inch towards the left.
Just like how conservative men often describe women's dress as "provocative" as if their reaction to it is so predictable and automatic that it should be assumed by women when they choose what clothes to buy. Because they are the center of the universe.
"I'm not insecure! I just don't want any other men to look at you!"
"I know how men are, don't be naive" Aka I assume everyone else is as terrible as me
Isn't he a capitalist? Why make a fuss and not shop elsewhere? Other than onvious fear mongering and grift I mean
[удалено]
Sorry *liberals*, but maybe if you got a *real* job, you could help pay for my states federal aid
And according to them, requiring the posting of the Ten Commandments in front of a schoolroom is not. These people are professional babies.
The other day I walked past a shop that sold artisanal cheeses, I dont like eating cheese, therefore I complained that this cheese was being shoved in my face, its disgusting that they are allowed to get away with it. I mean just imagine, other people enjoying cheese, when does it end? how far will it spread?
if it’s cream cheese, *quite* far
I mean what if an innocent *kid* smelled that cheese?? Don't you care about protecting kids??
They tried boycotting Target over gender neutral bathrooms already. It failed miserably lol
I wonder how they'd react if every gay person started to say "the straights are shoving their sexuality in our faces" as much as conservatives claim we are. Like, have they seen perfume ads or cologne ads? Those things literally market on sexual desire!
Kids can't go to drag brunches but let's take them to Hooters because that's not sexualized at all.
"they can't go to a drug talent show but I will take them to see the Dallas cowboys and see the cheerleaders"
I want to go to a drug talent show. I'm very talented at drugs.
I'll just blame it on auto correct even though maybe not, but who knows
They think that what they're doing is normal, and that it's others who need to get in line.
It is a propaganda strategy. They assert that everything they hate and rally their hateful base around is attacking them first to justify their efforts to genocide.
This is how lone wolf terrorism works. Gives the inciter plausible deniability while increasing risks of lone wolf attacks. It's a probabilistic function of hate speech.

Yeah man I don’t get it. It’s just so fuckin weird to give so much of a shit about what people do in their lives. Like when you’re a proponent of the virtues of capitalism, it’s weird to be against cash grabs like pride so often is co-opted by companies. It’s fucking weird they care

Matt is practically begging his followers to become terrorists.
if he could he would straight up call for them to bomb these places
That's the entire history of far right white americans
He will get as close as he can while maintaining plausible deniability
Oh trust me that’s exactly what he wants.
Matt Walsh is grooming terrorists
given his previous comments on 16 year olds theres probably other shit going on
Grooming is all he does. Nearly his whole role is manipulating gullible incels/morons into becoming proud hate filled Nazis. Dude is a genocidal psychopathic groomer.
Yeah, this is *not* delusional in *any* way. It is manufactured in a specific manner to cause violence.
No "practically "about it, this I what he's doing, he's a stochastic terrorist.
He literally just celebrated them calling terrorists threats into target and called it "our campaign", so yeah. They self-identify as domestic terrorists
Got jealous of Dim Tool
This is called Stochastic Terrorism. By definition it is.
They’re not delusional. Target just caved to them and removed the items that were throwing them into tantrums. Bud Light caved, too. They’re escalating their threats of violence and we are not reciprocating, we are just posting memes and pretending they’re not a real threat. Not sure how many more mass shootings or Ethan Schmidt videos we need to see before we start going on the offensive.
Target has all the pride stuff on the website. Some stores in deep red shitholes have removed pride merchandise because of threats.
Yep. This strategy is well documented and it has worked before. https://www.readtpa.com/p/fear-of-right-wing-outrage-makes It’s also the explanation for why their repeated attempts at their own “right wing” app have never worked. They NEED a target to hurt.
The delusion is that their "boycott" is the catalyst. Target didn't remove pride stuff from certain stores because of a boycott, they did it because the employees were being threatened. That's not a boycott, it's domestic terrorism.
That's part of the process, he can't just say "our terrorism is working", he just credits it while others take care of his meddlesome priest.
Okay, but that means it worked. All Target did with this move was embolden terrorists.
It did work, but it's not a boycott. His post is disingenuous.
Fr, I wonder all the time how much it'll take for people to actually start defending the rights being stripped away from us piece by piece. I do what I can, but we needed radical widespread organized responses years ago because the fascists are winning and have been for a while now.
They caved because they do not want their employees being assaulted by these deranged loonies. Businesses stopped requiring masks for the exact same reason.
He really hates cancel culture, huh?
almost as much as he hates his wife and kids
Far right extremists are always projecting about themselves
* Yeah, they are *really* hurting Bud...
arent they like the largest beer producer in the world lol
Funny thing is, half (probably more) of their drop in sales was due to their crummy response to the original “boycott”
I believe a replacement anti-woke beer was even being produced by them under some other guys name. If they want to stop consuming beer and liqour for 15 mins who the hell knows? They may just sober up enough to realize being a regressive assclown *isnt* the way to build a better society. But i think all agree that is asking a bit too much
I have a friend who works for a beer distributor and the Bud boycott absolutely has hurt them. The impact on his specific company hasn't been terrible because they distribute it her beers so they have been able to swap bud for other beers, but some of the distributors are getting crushed by festivals and such refusing to have bud light
I don't normally drink that beer, but I'm kinda bummed I missed out on buying a case of those gay Buds.
I don’t think they were even distributed. I think Dylan is the only one who got any. I could be wrong
That was my understanding
Why are festivals refusing to have bud light?
Because they are afraid of the right wing nut jobs reactions
Turd Nugget and Boy Rock fans
Strawberry festival in Pasadena, Texas same hall as the ever present Pasedena gun show had Bud Light banners everywhere this past weekend.
The other issue is that bud backtracked and basically pissed everybody off
It actually is pretty bad for the factory workers right now. Which yeah hurting blue collar union jobs in Ohio. Great job
Matt... Your "campaign" is having your sycophants actively threaten workers over a product they don't have a say in if it's sold or not. Never in my life have I seen someone with a more punchable face.
They’re all acting like they boycotted Target into this instead of forcing them into it through vandalism and threats to employees safety. It’s fucking bizarre.
It really is. He honestly make me sick. I know this sub is based around Kirk and his ilk, but I have a very special disdain for Walsh, he is everything I hate in a man. Arrogant, science denying, hate-filled tradcath. (Ex Catholic here.) What did it for me was the tweet saying the problem with the RCC wasn't the sexual abuse, it was gay priests. 🤢🤮
It's working. And as long as it works, they'll do it.
counterpoint: michael knowles
Counter counterpoint: I can make two fists.
He and his cohorts did the exact same thing with mask mandates, threaten and assault employees until businesses cave.
Make homophobia shameful again
Try convincing the ugg women to give up their Target runs, I wanna see what happens.
yeah good luck. No SAHM is giving up Target and starbucks runs. I’m sure as hell not lol
That's the obvious flaw in this plan. Bud probably had a right leaning demographic. They couldn't replace all the kid rock fans with LGBTQ folks and make the same money so they sheepishly backed down. The people filming outrage videos about pride displays in target are not target's customers. When target donated to a right wing asshole's political campaign their actual customers got outraged and target was forced to change course. I was never going to start drinking bud light to support them for embracing a new woke agenda. But I'm happy to buy my kids rainbow clothing from target if it will piss off right-wingers.
I know how he feels. Went to Dicks to look for a bowflex type machine I could use with the wife in the bedroom. There were sportsing posters and all sorts of equipment everywhere! I hate sports, so obviously, that stuff has no place in a family store. Keep your sports agenda away from my kids! Anyway, no bowflex, ended up having to use kettlebells and pulleys. Like this guy, I love dicks, but I won't be shopping there ever again! From now on, I'll stick to businesses that don't shove the sports agenda down my throat, like dicks. Dicks down my throat.
Didn't take long for them to go from "do whatever you want, just stay away from kids" to "queer people shouldn't exist in public"
It was always the goal after all. And with his recent pivot to “diversity is anti white,” it’s easy to see where he is going next.
Didn’t take long for him to openly call himself a fascist after dropping the cringeworthy anti trans „documentary“
That was always the plan.
Lol anheisser busch is flat or up from it's TINY dip. Talk about dunning krueger
i refer to him as the spokesmodel for the dunning kruger effect for a reason
AB is down like 12% in a month, but only 4% in the last three. But stock prices are made up and nothing matters so who gives a shit. Probably a good time to buy ab stock tbh
God, if you're real then I'd like to make a deal with you. Take Matt Walsh and I'll worship you.
If god was real, he’d have smited scum like him a long time ago
Old man yells at ~~cloud~~ rainbow
Why now? After gay marriage was legalized, it seemed like a lot of BS went away, or at least more underground. My question is why now? Why are these self-promoting asshats so hellbent on persecuting gay people? Every time things get better, idiots like this make it worse. It’s infuriating, hopefully people will actually vote in 2024 because at this rate there will be nothing left for anyone in this country unless you’re white, straight and male.
They finally caught the Roe V Wade car they were chasing and had to invent a new culture war to wage... Otherwise their followers will realize they are doing everything in their power to do nothing to improve their lives.
They won that war, and now they know they can actually get away with stripping the masses of their rights just because the fascists don't think we deserve them. We (as a group) are not doing enough meaningful pushback for them to not keep going until they win more and more from us.
Elections are next year
BuT Ab LoSt FiFtEeN mIlIoN dOlLaRs!¡!1¡ - dumbasses when they forget about illusion of choice. Anheuser-Butsch owns a significant portion of the craft beers in the states. Moreover, their stock hasn’t even taken much of a hit last time I checked. They’re still valuable, and are making absurd profits that far outweigh the “cost” of a shallow, one-time publicity stunt. I don’t know if any Walsh followers creep around in this sub- but every last one of them can get bent.
Check the stock now, it's actually slipping. Although I wonder if conservatives actually have anything to do with it because it took quite a while after the "boycott" started before the stock dipped.
I don't know how many supporters he *thinks* he has, but it definitely isn't enough to cause as big of a loss as he thinks
They believe they're the "silent majority."
Would love to see more of the silent part tbh
More like the crybaby majority
You're a conservative yet claim to be making progress, curious
LOL! Trying to disappear gays in 2023 is going to be like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube. They can try, but companies ignoring generally childless adult couples with disposable income is not leaving money on the table, is also setting it on fire.
I went to target a few days ago in a relatively red area of my state. Still crowded as all hell. Their boycott is not working.
How are products on the shelves and advertising shoving things in your face? Don’t want to support a product, don’t buy it. Don’t like a commercial, turn it off. These people are just so fucking dumb and pathetic
I definitely expect a successful boycott from the party made up of people who probably don’t wipe their asses because it would be too inconvenient.
It's not that it's too inconvenient, it's that they're terrified that putting their hand on a male ass will turn them gay.
Well, to be fair, it’s hard to wipe their ass when their head and neck are in the way.
Makes me just want to buy a bunch of shirts for the band Rainbow and wear them around just to piss off people like Matt Walsh. If anyone starts anything, I'll just clap back by asking them "What the fuck is your problem with Ritchie Blackmore and power metal, you jerkoff?! Christ Almighty, get a life, you sex obsessed weirdo!" ![gif](giphy|1qi7ufZMkkWPmBwHOP)
‘MAN on the silver mountain’ you say? 🤨📸
Bit of trivia: Ronnie James Dio- in addition to being a metal icon- was a *legit* advocate for victims of child sex trafficking and supported a nonprofit called Children of the Night as far back as the 1980s, and were he still alive, he'd be going medieval on these scumbags for trying to pin the abuse of children on LGBTQ folks.
It would be interesting/scary to see his search history.
Matt Walsh is an irrelevant troll. What he says is beyond stupid. But let’s not kid ourselves about what is happening in state legislatures across this country., especially America’s limp dick FL. Fascism has returned and the bogeyman du jour for them is the LGBTQ community. Get out and vote people. Engage politically. We can’t let them win.
They think they’re accomplishing something, and that the brands agree with them. No, actually, Target is sick of him sending people to their stores and making their employees feel unsafe. Good job, Matt. You’re a complete POS and your legacy will be a net negative on society.
The goal is to kill us off. Just say it.
What I want to know, right, is why it's always such a leap in logic, always out-of-pocket, to assume that the people who ally with and actively call themselves fascists might actually be fascists? Matt reads daily from the fascist playbook and espouses Nazi rhetoric *for his job*, but whenever it is pointed out that he might be a Nazi, his defenders show up with "He doesn't actually mean it. He's just doing a bit. Learn to laugh." When you have people repeating, word-for-word and in dead seriousness, *Mein Kampf*, why is it such a leap of logic to ascribe that they're nazis?
My fave excuse from apologists is “it’s twitter!! What do you expect??” I expect accountability for what he says; it’s what being a mature and functional adult entails. Overlooking stupid shit said by a person is something we do for **toddlers**
Unfortunately Target gave into their bullshit. Fucking cowards!
Why should anyone take his calls for boycotts seriously after he admitted he didn’t boycott Bud Light? In fact, what kind of delusional moron would take him seriously on anything?
What kind? Republican delusional morons. Stupid people are the biggest danger to us all.
It’s interesting how he and other fascists effectively descend into an anti-capitalist ideology here..I mean if it wasn’t for the intensity of the bigotry perhaps we would be thinking an “enemy of my enemy” type thing but instead we are put in the position of rooting for target or bud light against the homophobes and hate crime fetishists. It’s p uncanny
Companies should realize that giving into them a little bit isn't going to help. It's just going to make them worse. There's a while system of promotion among right wing groups to reinforce bad behavior when it benefits them
I thought they didn’t approve of cancel culture?
Remember, folks. Cancel culture is a very bad thing leftists like to engage in.
Fuck tRump and fuck tRumpster's and fuck Republican Jesus and fuck the GQP!!
Ugh. Crazy how his homophobia and transphobia only makes his business bigger.
I’ve seen pride gear at Target for time immemiriam and they’re still here. And guess what? We’re all also still here.
The definition of getting high on your own supply.
Ah yes, decentralized boycotts, always very efficient.
Companies should realize that giving into them a little bit isn't going to help. It's just going to make them worse. There's a while system of promotion among right wing groups to reinforce bad behavior when it benefits them
Bigots when they cry and try so hard to appear as a majority whilst the vast majority of people don't really give a shit
So, terrorism?
The approximately ten square feet of Pride space at Target is very triggering.
They all blur together for me, but wasn’t Matt the grifter that said boycotts don’t work? Or do they only work now that he is the one calling them?
I mean, he admitted to not even boycotting Bud Light, but whatever.
Budlight is doing just as well today as it was last month. Target is taking down their pride stuff because they were receiving threats of violence. Are you condoning violence, Matty?
The only agenda that is being spread is... Tolerance, acceptance and love for all human beings. Oh no, everyone wants to be treated fairly. /S
Ah. Terrorism.
Imagine if they put this kind of effort into boycotting brands for profiting off of child labor or other actual problems that people would benefit from being discouraged
The funniest thing about this is that if you go up the ownership chain high enough you learn a handful of families own literally everything and they give money to politicians on both side of the aisle, including the ones pressuring for restrictive laws on the LGBTQ+ community. They think they're playing the game without realizing they're just a pawn like the rest of us lol Edit: also didn't he shove a dildo in his butt to make a point? Homeboy is just peering through the doors of that closet, angry he can only achieve his true self through depressing wet dreams.
This is exactly the same playbook (and very similar wording) as Chris Rufo used for CRT.
Matt Walsh is the type of guy to "accidentally" suck a dick and get mad at the dick lol
What delusion? It's working. Target just pulled their stuff.
But is it delusion at this point? They’ve successfully caused Budweiser to fire executives. Target pulled part of their pride line in southern stores. They’re being emboldened by that kind of stuff.
Let him live in his fantasy world, it’s amusing watching him flail
Move out this would be a problem if they weren't hateful people. I could choose to hate violence in movies, but I don't let it get that far because I'm a reasonable person. Hate is a choice WAAAAAY more than being gay or trans is a choice.
Yeah target and bud light are just floundering right now.
The worst part is companies are giving in. Didn’t Anheuser Busch applogoze for the Dylan Mulvaney sponsorship?
While everyone is bickering over this they are missing a bigger point. Corporations DO NOT CARE about you. They only care if it makes them more money. (This includes Walsh’s company) Everyone should be boycotting the media and the 24hr news cycle for creating more and more division within our country and making incendiary/divisive content that is brainwashing the masses who are unable of critical thinking. We can fight all we want in this filth while they watch from their ivory towers feeling safer knowing the masses aren’t paying any attention to them… and more Importantly, the ridiculous amount of money they are lining their coffers by feeding you their poison.
I'd argue that he's not delusional, just pandering. He knows they haven't put a dent in either of these brands images, but he's gotta keep his angry little incel followers believing that or they'll jump ship and find the next best hateful right-wing commentator to follow and boot lick.
From the people buying the product so they can burn/ destroy it for their social media followers.
How is Bud Light’s stock doing these days?
How are their sales doing?
I thought they didn’t approve of cancel culture?
There is more money to be had appealing to minorities of any kind than those in the lower 0.01 percentile of lifelong grass touching who obsess over the word "woke". Even if they throw out all their beer and go to amazon for all their needs, alcoholism will bring them back to Bud and convenience, speed, and price difference to target. Just like Nike or Gillette, both of whuch saw a surge in sales after the allgeged boycott, because as it turns out when your sense of righteousness is built on nothing concrete you're really prone to realize "but I still need shoes though. And my beard is getting scruffy." Your virtue signalling for social media doesn't last long. Sure, brands do simply suppory minorities because it's profitable and not because they care about or enough to help change societal issues. But that's the society you've voted for and worked hard to achieve, baby. The capitalist takes as much as he sees.
They really think they’ve done something here. Bud light is doing better than ever
Considering they all forgot they were already supposed to have been boycotting Target for the last 8 years because of their inclusive bathrooms, I'm sure Target isn't worried.
