    What is this weird as fuck idea these people have that they’re entitled to a company’s advertising money?

    Maga really doesn’t like freedom of speech, does it?

    No one is owed you any advertisement on your platform. Bunch of snowflakes.

      Remember, conservative logic is literally “I’m allowed to tell you what to do; you are not allowed to tell me what to do.”

    I remember seeing on Shitter the founder of Home Depot was supporting Trump and people were saying they wouldn’t shop there anymore.

    The snowflake Trump supports were upset people would do that because it was hurting the workers. I guess it only matters when it is their cause.

      Any argument they make is just what they think will have the most chance of getting others to agree with them. They didn’t give a fuck about the workers in either case just like BP didn’t really give a fuck about the retirees that depended on their survival.

    “LET THE MARKET DECIDE!”

    “Yeah, the market hates you!”

    “Wait, not like that!”

    I’m confused about this lawsuit. Haven’t advertisers always been allowed to not advertise in places they don’t think align with their brand?

    The Bud Lite treatment: “boycott” for a few weeks and then go right back to buying their stuff. In fact I’d be surprised if they did that much in enough numbers to make even a wiggle in Dunkin’s bottom line for the quarter.

      I mean Bud Lite was significantly affected, but that’s mostly because the people boycotting it were the only ones buying it in the first place. I don’t think the right has a monopoly on Donuts and Coffee in the same fashion.

    The last time I was in a Dunkin, there was a maga shithead explaining to a group of Brown people, why the tax policies of maga were good for them. I don’t know if his diatribe was welcome or if he had them trapped as hostages by being next to them. It was a bit surreal. Anyway, I welcome the knowledge that Dunkin won’t have the likes of him around anymore.

      Rumble/Locals is a video sharing platform, like YouTube, and you don’t have any of the ridiculous no-no words & censorship of YouTube to abide by (under threat of age-gating, deletion, demonetization). You can say words like: suicide, depression, covid, vaccine, Hitler, porn, pedophile, etc etc etc without people getting all weird.

      You can stream copyrighted content & watch a movie together, as long as there’s some banter & you’re not straight ripping movies. It’s fun, it’s like watching with friends.

      Each creator can enforce THEIR OWN censorship & values on their community as they see fit, the only thing(s) Rumble/Locals does not want to see are: porn, child porn, and idk probably like extreme gore.

    Whatever blip Bud Light experienced was due to their flip flopping. I was ready to start stocking up for our annual July 04 bash and would have gone out of my way to buy some (even though I don’t normally) until they rolled over for the magas and fired the person responsible for sending that single can of bud light to a trans influencer. I know others had a similar thought process, because I’ve seen it discussed online and in meatspace.

    I’m sure I’ve bought products that they own since then unknowingly, but haven’t knowingly bought an AB product since then. All they had to do was take a stance, but they proved to be exactly what all megacorps are - greedy and spineless. Edit: Just like Target, I might add.
