Trump Jr. got it wrong, DeSantis got it conservative right

Some people on the right have decided to support Bud Light and end the boycott that began when the VP of Marketing, Alissa Heinerscheid decided to use a guy in drag to promote the beer while flipping off the "fratty" and "out of touch" folks who made up the customers who bought that beer. 

Even Donald Trump Jr. wants the boycott to end because Anheuser-Busch gives the GOP more in campaign financing than they give the Democrats. As I've said before, if you are going to boycott a company, boycott one that depends on you as a customer, where it counts. Woke corporations don't really care about your business as much as Bud Light does, which is why they lost $5 billion in one week of the boycott.

And now, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has gotten it right.

While RINOs and the meek on the right have lost their nerve and now want us to support Anheuser-Busch, DeSantis unequivocally supports conservative efforts to boycott them.

So don't allow any GOPer to sway your thinking. Make it count and change beers if you're a Bud Light trans-beer drinker. At least give it up until things change, such as an honest apology from the Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth rather than his wishy-washy "let's go America" balderdash. And maybe wait until they fire Heinerscheid because she sucks at marketing and sucks at decency. 

And remember that it is Ron DeSantis who seems to hold honest conservative values, at least from what I see. I'm not saying he's better than Trump, just more conservative. And no, Jews don't hate DeSantis--just the ones who showed up to protest, and they probably weren't even Jewish. If they are, they're likely Democrats in disguise.

DeSantis has guts and took a different path than the RINOs and Don Jr. 

On two separate occasions, he made clear that he’s not wavering against these woke corporations, whether it’s Disney or Anheuser-Busch.

"Why would you want to drink Bud Light?" DeSantis said.  "I mean like, honestly, that’s like them rubbing our faces in it, and it’s like, these companies that do this, if they never have any response, they’re just going to keep doing it. So if you as a consumer are like, “yeah, they’re basically,” and it’s such a fraud what they’re doing with that, “like yeah, they’re doing that, but I’m going to keep drinking it anyway,” well they’re just gonna keep doing it.

"So I think we have power as consumers to make our voice heard, and not on every company because sometimes conservatives consumers aren’t gonna make a dent in some companies. This one is one, if you don’t have conservative beer drinkers, you’re gonna feel that.

"And so, I think it’s a righteous, uh, I think it’s a righteous thing. You know, some of these controversies, they come up, and people can kind of just say, “Oh well, it’s kind of a one-off, yeah it was stupid to do.” But it’s part of a larger thing where corporate America is trying to change our country. Trying to change policy, trying to change culture, and you know, I’d rather be governed by “we the people” than woke companies. So I think pushback is in order across the board, including with Bud Light."

When asked whether he would ever drink Bud Light again, he said that he did not believe he would.

He didn't call the Heinerscheid "Horseface" or say anything bad about the CEO of Anheuser-Busch. His answers are thoughtful, even when he doesn't use a teleprompter, which he didn't. 

I've said it before but I'll say it again, if Trump gets the nomination, I would vote for him in a heartbeat. But I like DeSantis from what I have seen of him and what he's done for Florida.
