    It was the fact that Bud Light openly advertised using a trans person. It was an image that could be flaunted and would rally even moderate republicans.

    An executive respectfully writing a response detailing why they would not want their brand associated with a platform that had extreme right wing views is much harder to rally around…

    Fundamentally it’s because there is no convenient image to rally behind… they would have to read and think to be outraged.

      When they figure out how to use AI to generate picture book propaganda for their followers, watch out. (Wait, is that why they are obsessed with meme images…)
