The Bud Light kerfuffle, and the moment it all crossed the line

[Mac1958]

Some of us -- okay, well, I'm admittedly talking about me here -- have been screaming about the perils of political correctness and identity politics for over a decade here. "We" have been saying that the American Left has been blowing it by pushing these wide-ranging cultural issues FAR too far, and that the presidential election results of 2016 were a DIRECT result of those tactics.

So now the Right is pissed off at a beer and is boycotting it and shooting guns at it 'n stuff. And yes, now the Right is every bit as spectacularly hypersensitive to PC/Identity Politics as the Left has been to racism over the years. Ironic. As I've said many times, the two ends can be so similar in their behaviors.

After paying close attention (as usual) to what the Right actually says about things, I think that there was one moment, one turning point that the Left crossed the line with all this stuff: When we started seeing children (especially schoolchildren, who essentially are captive participants) fully exposed to transsexuality, drag queens, drag shows, and the like. This was done by adults who knew damn well that there would be MANY parents who would object, but they ran with it anyway. That's when the shit really hit the fan, and the Left asked for it. BOOM.

Just the latest example of the damage caused when ideologues ignore contrary opinions and go too far. And what's the response? The Right is now going too far in response. Go figure.

"Right is every bit as spectacularly hypersensitive to PC/Identity Politics as the Left has been to racism over the years."

So, you are stipulating that RACISM is only from the right?
The Right's reaction to the Marxist PC/Identity Politics is "spectacularly hypersensitive"?

So much projection.....how profound.

3) Guess you showed them.

Projection? Remember the America the Beautiful outrage?

Conservatives attack multi-lingual ‘America the Beautiful’ ad

Coca-Cola’s Super Bowl commercial Sunday night was at first glance a moving tribute to America’s diversity.

Those of us with memories remember.

My thoughts are that kids are the 3rd rail.

And they should be.

They pushed it to this level and are now playing the victim card. It is absurd, and should be treated with the disdain and blowback it deserves.

Right wingers have that right...........NOT to buy anything, they don't want to, just like everyone else.
But to discontinue buying an item, you bought and enjoyed for years, is stupid.
Do they think a trannie is pissing in bud lite cans now?

The epitome of SNOWFLAKES.

So by your own admission children are being groomed and sexualized and mutilated sexually by the democrat party, but the reaction to it from the right has been too extreme?

LOL.

Idiot.

They boycott so many things...they can no longer keep track of what they are supposed to avoid in the name of faux outrage.

COUNTRY ?
One bad cover of sweet home alabama, so he is considered country?

Sure. Everything we do now is an overreaction. Overcompensation.

 

[Mac1958]

Wow, look at all those things you think I said.

Yours is the mind of a zealot.

 

[Mac1958]

So I nail it on the OP, and the right wingers STILL attack.



Always a good sign!

 

[Votto]

Wow, look at all those things you think I said.

Yours is the mind of a zealot.

So you have no problem with children getting a lap dance in school by a drag queen or beginning to transition before they are an adult that causes sterilization or them looking at porn at their school library, etc.?

You think I'm the zealot?

Do tell.

I'm just glad some in the GOP seem to at least have a pulse and show some outrage you fool.

And you do it again: Planting things I did not say.

You literally can't help yourself. Yes, that's the mind of a zealot. Precisely.

 

[Smokin' OP]

I will continue buying Budweiser, been my beer of choice for 40+ years.
Still watch the NFL.
Still like chick -fil-a chicken nuggets.
Don't know what they did to their chicken, it's just terrible.

Yeah, I remember that Chick-Fil-A thing, and thinking that politics were really seeping into our culture in a bad way.

Politics ruins everything it touches.

So no objection to the actual point of the thread.

Good!

The only "point" I see in your op is your personal opinionated false narratives. Your saying demented leftist PC is a reaction to the, in you opinion, the racism of the right.
That's how YOU set this table.
What the FUCK is your point?

The third paragraph of the OP. It's right there. That's the point.

Try to calm down, control your emotions, and read it. Or not. It doesn't really matter.

Well my main thought is that you're a moron and a pussy but I suppose I can be more specific.

In 2016 the Democratic Party nominated the face of the establishment, Hillary Clinton. Ms. Moderate herself. I don't know anyone on the progressive side of the aisle that would characterize Clinton as extreme other than extremely disliked by both the right and the progressive left.

The point of exposing children to diverse communities, cultures and perspectives is to promote empathy and understanding. These are the goals and to that extent it has worked as generation Z is the most progressive and inclusive generation there is.

Now, it isn't a compulsion of mine to operate out of fear of what the Right will do or how they will react. I don't give a shit what they do. I act according to my values. If you value momentary and immediate political victory over values well then you are as misguided and short sighted as the Right. They are sacrificing their political future to secure precarious victories.
