Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser) has been the subject of a lot of consumer ridicule after its corporate marketing decision to feature transgender Dylan Mulvaney as its new spokesperson (“spokestrans”?). This is remarkable timing considering a gender dysphoric woman asserting she was a man just murdered three young children and three adults at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee.

Common sense and decency would seem to dictate a more thoughtful reaction to the Nashville tragedy, but Budweiser’s indifferent leadership decided to “boldly” market their commitment to the LGBTQ+ “community” despite the tragedy. Supporting the “trans” movement is an attack on our children, grandchildren, and our traditional family values. This is an issue manufactured to divide Americans and to specifically confuse our children as they mature through their adolescent years when what they need is affirmation of their biological sex and unique design by God.

For those commonsense Americans who are rightly appalled at the actions of Budweiser, this is a good time to consider the broader political agenda of Anheuser-Busch (AB). At 2ndVote, we have researched corporate social activism/politics for over 11 years. We score companies on a scale of 1.00 to 5.00, with a score of 3.00 being ideal (politically neutral) and lower scores indicating greater radical political activism. Budweiser has earned a composite score of 1.00, indicating it has no room left to become more politically active and is committing itself completely to the anti-American, pro-communist agenda seeking to destroy America.

On the issue of LIFE, AB scores a 1.00 due to its support of multiple organizations that perform and support abortions. In essence, the brilliant corporate board room executives have decided that a great business strategy for future growth is killing in the womb future customers, employees, and shareholders of Anheuser-Busch. On the issue of BASIC FREEDOMS (1st Amendment), AB scores a 1.00 and supports multiple groups that attack religious liberty and Christians specifically. On the issue of 2ND AMENDMENT, AB scores a 1.00 and supports radical groups attacking the constitutional right to personal protection, and especially “stand your ground” laws. On the issue of CIVIL SAFE SOCIETY (border security, sanctuary cities, law enforcement), AB scores a 1.00 and supports sanctuary cities, which has created the tragic situation at our southern border and greatly increased human trafficking, sex trafficking, and drug trafficking. For the issue of EDUCATION, AB scores a 1.00 and is a longtime supporter of denigrating our children’s education by supporting non-traditional education practices. Finally, on the issue of ENVIRONMENT, AB scores a 1.00 and is a supporter of the extreme non-science and anti-capitalist Paris Climate Accord.

You can visit 2ndVote to review the research on AB that determines these scores. Keep in mind that the composite score is not a simple arithmetic calculation but is determined by geometric mean analysis, reducing both subjective and objective data into a numerical score.

The AB story is more complicated, and decidedly worse in total, than the recent trans promotion and advertising. As you make your next beer purchase decision, please consider not only the AB trans advertising but also all the other ways in which AB may not share your values.

In fact, investigate what locally owned brewed beers you may be able to buy instead. At 2ndVote, we promote “Shop Local, Give Local, Love Local,” which means you will more likely spend your money with folks who share your values, and it keeps the business profit in your community. You can also send a message directly to AB from the 2ndVote website to let it know your opinion regarding its political activism. That’s better than just silently being angry.

Silence and the continued purchasing of its products are affirmation that you agree with its political agenda, which is harming our children and unique American culture. For over 11 years, 2ndVote has encouraged commonsense Americans to vote with their wallet to make a positive difference for America and to stop funding the radical anti-American agenda promoted by the always angry and hate-promoting mob.
