MAGA fans? More like MAGA cultists based on their behavior (in this particular instance for example).

Costco will be so much nicer without all the maga mouthbreathers clogging the aisles
Is this boycott being pushed by US MAGAs or by their foreign thought leaders?
I wonder which countries these boycotters are from. 70% chance these are bots from Russia, India, or South Asia.
costco's doing the right thing
Costco is doing the correct thing.
It's the right(wing) who are wrong.
that's what i mean
Ugh, whenever I hear about Bud Light I feel sorry for Dylan Mulvaney and the shitstorm she got dragged into
"grrr, costco is giving in to the woke agenda, i'm just gonna go shop at sam's club instead"
"Yeah! Let's go somewhere that'll charge us way more money to pwn the libs!!"
- maga punching themselves in the balls again
What's a magats favorite gun?
A footgun.
Owning the libs so hard.
Gotta love it
GOOD.
Get MAGA out of my Costco. Won’t miss you assholes even for a second.
So you're telling me we won't have to deal with trash at Costco anymore?
The new Bud Light? Annheuser-Bush is up almost 16% for the year. Sounds like that boycott didn't go so well. I'm sure Costco wouldn't mind a 16% boost to their stock price.
It's almost like the people who attacked Bud Light aren't even intellectually capable of understanding concepts like "parent companies" and how much of their world has been consumed and consolidated by corporate forces.
Most of them literally think that they hurt "Bud Light, the beer company" and have never even looked up any actual information or details.
I also think the outrage was talked about more than it's actioned on. And the talk may have also come from foreign troll farms.
How did they even hurt them. By purchasing tons of it and then destroying it. Yes purchasing their stuff is the way to hurt a company.
They did it with some coffee machine company a number of years ago, smashed all these brand new coffee makers for being "woke" or having a commercial that said "be nice to others" or some such manufactured outrage.
The coverage just made the brand name rise to top of search terms, the videos that went viral of people smashing coffee machines became so trendy that people were buying the things just to smash or burn them on camera for views. It was hilarious and only helped the company.
If I were the coffee maker company, I would have used the opportunity to buy into the advertising/ display programs, and put my coffee makers on sale in all the big box stores, and encouraged even more sales.
That's... just basic marketing
Yes, it is, I used to be the guy who sold, and then later, bought those in-store marketing programs.
The point is, when weird PR things like that pop up, companies tend to hide out for a while, and let the craziness die down. I'd do exactly the opposite, and take advantage of it. Sure, they're buying my product to destroy it, but the key word is "Buy," so I got their money, and the second key word is "destroy," which means they'll be buying a new one when this is over.
If MAGAs are going to be stupid, then it's my corporate responsibility to fleece them as much as possible.
I guarantee they forgot about it a week after it was out of the outra- the news cycle
I thought these dumbfucks wanted low prices, LOL?
Now they are butthurt if companies like Costco sue to get that money back that Taco illegally added to the cost of so many things?
Must be Redhat Logic (TM).
I thought these dumbfucks wanted low prices, LOL?
Nope. They never cared about grocery prices. They never cared about border security. They never cared about the economy. They never cared about protecting children and the whole laundry list of "huge conservative issues" because they are getting their values from FOX-feelings-news, not any carefully thought-out positions.
They're just dumb people. Every population is going to have a dumb segment. Our ire and desire for destruction should be focused squarely on the grifters and networks and pundits on Youtube who are feeding this stupidity-powered machine.
The dumb people themselves? We can turn them. It's not that hard, they are... and I cannot stress this enough, dumb. What the left broadly forgets though is that you don't turn dumb people with smart arguments, you have to influence them the way you would a toddler. Change how they feel, then you can point them at a new target. People like Sanders have been doing this for decades and has huge success. The whole plot is right there, easy to use, we have tyrannical oligarchs who are stealing our money and hiding in boats in other countries and so on.
It's just that said people in boats have designed a culture war so that the dumb fucks don't realize who the real enemy is. It sounds stupid simple to anyone who can read, but I have to remind everyone, nearly a quarter of US adults are functionally illiterate. We have to stop expecting smart arguments and preaching and scolding to work. We have to say dumb shit to make dumb people attack the right targets.

I'd bet real money that most of the "people" threatening to boycott don't live on the same continent as a Costco store anyway.
