The Bud Light boycott by MAGA nit wits basically worked. People who drink shitty beer moved on to some other shitty beer because Bud Light gave a trans person a case one time.
That success means everything MAGA decides is doesn’t like is going to be “the next Bud Light”. In Florida, for example, Farmers Insurance has announced that it is pulling out of the market because it can’t afford to underwrite the policies for a bunch of dolts who don’t think very hot oceans are a thing, and do think hurricanes can be moved by prayer.
Anyway, it wasn’t the shitty business forecast for insurance companies. No. Farmers Insurance is too “woke” and is now the next Bud Light.
The state’s chief financial officer, Jimmy Patronis, went further, accusing the company of leaving Florida because its business was too focused on “sustainable insurance” and aligning investments with its social values, like avoiding investing in polluters or companies that sexually or racially discriminate against employees, a process known as environmental, social and governance investing that has become a recent political target for Republicans.
“The more we learn about Farmers Insurance the more it’s clear its leadership doesn’t know what they’re doing. While they’re bad at helping people, they’re good at virtue signaling,” Patronis wrote in a statement Tuesday. “It’s clear that while Farmers was making plans to exit a significant number of policies out of Florida, they were playing politics, and weren’t focused on running a successful company. “I sincerely believe that with today’s actions, Farmers Insurance is well on its way to becoming the Bud Light of insurance,” he wrote, a nod to the recent controversy when Bud Light hired a trans woman to run a single TikTok ad for the beverage, triggering a conservative backlash and boycott against the company over its support of the LGBTQ community.
