A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

and when has a left boycott ever been effective? Never.

That said, I thought the exemption for bakeries was strange.

Greg Flynn doesn't own Panera. He owns some franchise units. JAB holdings is the one that owns Panera.

This also isn't even true.

This is a cool website. Importantly, the effectiveness many of the boycotts didn't manifest until after several years! So when we hear about a boycott and when it achieves its goal seems to often have considerable lag time.

That's actually really useful to know.

Yet when the right boycotted bud. It was noticeable in less than a month. Their market share and stock dropped like a rock. That’s how you boycott.

Didn't everyone end up boycotting them for a while because they walked back the stuff that the right got mad at pretty quickly?

That detail is irrelevant for OP. Showing the right to be strong is more important than recognizing that bud light ended up getting boycotted by everyone in the end.

Everyone ended up boycotting.

I didn’t because I don’t care about the whole trans ad. Trans people drink beer too.

Also I don’t drink bud light. Can’t boycott something I don’t drink.

That was a marketing lesson learned. They ended up pissing everyone off. They should have either not done the marketing ad or defended the hell out of it after they did it.
