How many of the “woke” make bomb threats?
Ben Collins of NBC News last night posted to the Bird site a photo of himself “downloading” the Woke Mind Virus (by drinking Bud Light). Collins was satirizing the right’s latest paroxysm of outrage over capitalism platforming anyone other than big, white swinging dicks.
The right-wing fever swamp’s hair-afire fury over rainbows on beer cans and a video featuring a transgender influencer is beyong parody. But it’s not beyond felony (Patch):
LOS ANGELES, CA — The Anheuser-Busch Budweiser factory in Van Nuys was targeted with a bomb threat Thursday, prompting a sweep of the sprawling campus, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed.
An Anheuser-Busch employee confirmed to Patch that several Budweiser facilities across the nation were targeted with bomb threats as the company faces massive backlash for an advertising partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

The partnership with Mulvaney triggered intense rightwing backlash and informal boycotts of the brand, leading to a nearly $5 billion drop in the Anheuser-Busch stock value Wednesday, Fox News reported.
“We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people,” Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth said Friday in a formal statement on the controversy. “We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.”
It wasn’t enough for those infected with the MAGA Mind Virus to machine gun and crush cases of the company’s beer with heavy equipment. Someone(s) moved on to domestic terrorism:
“The safety of our employees is always our top priority. We are working with local law enforcement to ensure the security of our people and our facilities,” an Anheuser-Busch spokesperson said in a statement to Vox.
These clowns think of themselves (and some may be) the type who, on the sergeant’s orders, would march into a hail of enemy machine gun fire for God, country, and freedom. But they can’t abide sharing the country (or political power) with people free not to be just like them.
