Sigh. So this Bud Light thing is still a thing. Who would’ve thought that in 2023, one of the hot-button cultural issues would be a crappy beer? Full disclosure: I can’t actually say from firsthand experience that Bud Light is a crappy beer, as I don’t drink and think all beer is crappy beer. But the general consensus among the American public seems to be that Bud Light is in fact a crappy beer.
Aaaaanyway, I’m not suggesting that Anheuser-Busch doesn’t kind of deserve to get smacked around right now. After all, glorifying Dylan Mulvaney, who glorifies making a mockery of women, is probably not going to be the best PR move. And it’s been pretty weird to watch so many woke liberals (and Donald Trump Jr.!) rally to Anheuser-Busch’s defense. Maybe weirdest of all, though, has been watching Democratic politicians do it.
I’m talking about Democratic politicians like Ted Lieu and … is that Adam Schiff? Do any of these people actually drink Bud Light? Based on this tweet from Ted Lieu, I’m not even convinced that any of them have ever even held a bottle of beer in their entire life:

How long do you think they stood like that? I’m guessing they tried a bunch of different poses and that was the least-worst take. I’m embarrassed for them, though not so embarrassed that I actually feel sorry for them, because they’re annoying as hell.

I understand the impulse to highlight the absurdity of republicans boycott of Budweiser, but these kind of efforts are equally as infantile and unserious. Please stop it.

I mock stupid stuff by MAGA Republicans. Data shows that mockery is one of the more effective ways to get people to stop supporting extremists.

Yeah, no. That’s only the case if the mocker knows what he’s doing. And Ted Lieu clearly doesn’t have a clue.

They're all holding the bottles like they're in a beer commercial, making sure the label shows, because "message."#clownshow https://t.co/gG9LGEPQLY

“Hold on… let’s make sure the labels are facing out toward the camera” 😂 Idiots

also it looks like every single one of those bottles is filled, I bet they didn't take a sip.

“Hey, everyone… I’m gonna need you to pose with these Bud Light bottles as if we’re standing around and drinking.”
“Umm… we don’t really have to drink these, do we?”
“Oh, heavens no… we might be woke, but we’re not going THAT far…”

Oy vey. Could it get any cringier?
Actually, yes. Yes it can:

Gawd, Ted. Go home. You’re drunk. (But not on Bud Light.)
