I haven’t heard much from QAloon lately. Probably drowned out by the GQP adopting their world view. Kind of like The Onion satire/parody being overshadowed by Republican “reality”. ---

Tbh I must admit I think less of people who drink Bud Light. Not because they support trans rights (which is a point in its favor), but because it’s just a terrible beer. ---

Bud Light shouldn’t be allowed to label their product beer. It’s just some weirdly flavored water. Some people will drink anything as long as there’s a little alcohol in it. ---

I’ve sad it before…I have to defend Bud and Bud light. Busch the man went to a lot of trouble to get a beer that appealed to the most people. By definition, these people think Bud (and BL) is what beer should taste like. They made their choices, they voted with their money, Are they really wrong? To say they are is the height of beer snobbishness. ---

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > beer snobbishness Guilty as charged. Actually, I don’t mind a Bud once in a while. But I never need alcohol so badly I’ll drink Bud Light. ---

Beer is for the wokes; wine is for the elites; liquor is for the lushes. That leaves moonshine for Red-blooded Republicans. Or the teetotaler bandwagon. ---
