(Patriot Command Center) Resentments are growing! Many have wondered why the boycott against Bud Light, Target, Kohl's and others are gaining steam!

The Simple Answer Is Resentment

American core buyers want beer, clothing and goods and don’t want to be schooled on how they should think! Impulse buying is interrupted by the infusion of offensive political and sociological propaganda. The infusion is viewed as intrusive, disagreeable, offensive and unwanted.

Now these boycotts are turning into all out rebellion!

The buyer resentment expressed  towards Anheuser-Busch, Kohl's, and Target has led to a combined loss of $28.7 billion in market value since April and is growing.

The unpredictable fallout backlash against what they perceive as "woke" policies and marketing strategies puts companies at risk of being targeted at any time. Anheuser-Busch faced backlash for a Bud Light promotion involving transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, but the CEO, Brendan Whitworth, offered no apology in a statement.

The controversy resulted in a significant loss in market capitalization and a 20% drop in stock, though it has partially recovered. Target also faced controversy for selling LGBTQ-themed clothing and had to remove some of its Pride Month collection due to threats to employee safety.

The retailer lost $10.15 billion in market capitalization due to the backlash against its LGBTQ line of kids' clothing and other merchandise. Kohl's shares have underperformed and faced calls for a boycott after releasing Pride Month merchandise, including a baby bodysuit featuring an illustration of a lesbian couple and their children.

The stock initially dropped over 20% but has since rebounded. The intensifying culture war makes companies more susceptible to backlash despite their long-standing participation in Pride celebrations, according to analysts.

Final Word: This must be restated: American core buyers want beer, clothing and goods and don’t want to be schooled on how they should think! Impulse buying is interrupted by the infusion of offensive political and sociological propaganda. The infusion is viewed as intrusive, disagreeable, offensive and unwanted. Now these boycotts are turning into all out rebellion!

This says it all!
