MAGA fans call for boycott of Dunkin Donuts: ‘The Bud Lite treatment’

MAGA influencer, catturd2

That really says all there is to say.

Isn't that the guy who's always chasing Elon Musk's dick around?
- No idea.
  
  But it's a grown-ass man who thinks calling himself catturd is the height of comedy.
Tinfoil hat time, maybe they're a false flag plant by the FDA to fight the obesity epidemic.
- It's clearly not working.
I want to be an influencer too.

What is this weird as fuck idea these people have that they're entitled to a company's advertising money?

Maga really doesn’t like freedom of speech, does it?

No one is owed you any advertisement on your platform. Bunch of snowflakes.

Remember, conservative logic is literally "I'm allowed to tell you what to do; you are not allowed to tell me what to do."
"Its only free speech when I get to say the N word."

*Sigh*, Kid Rock is about to shoot some holes in donuts, isn't he?

Kid Rock, the spiritual successor to Ted Nugent.
Kid Rock makes donut holes by fucking them
That sounds very mockable. A good PR team could get a ton of mileage off commercials about shooting holes in donuts.
To be fair if he can thread that needle then maybe he's actually gotten in some range time, maybe taken a class.

Of Jewish people, Fuentes has also said: “We will make them die in the holy war.”

Aren't these the same people who complain about being called Nazis

Isn't Fuentes one of the few guys who embraces the label?

Or do I just think that because he is one of those who doesn't dog whistle and is just saying.Nazi stuff openly?

Either way, that dude is super scary because he is not stupid, he knows exactly what games hes playing and he is better at it than for example Alex Jones.

Fortunately he is still too crass for regular people.

Ah yes, a boycott which will impact the company much like all the previous ones which were uh, wait no, they didn't do shit did they?

Yawn.

The Bud Light one was actually impactful for several months:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud_Light_boycott

"On June 3, Brayden King, a professor of management and organizations, gave an interview to CNBC calling the Bud Light boycott an outlier in the right's attack on "woke capitalism" because it is the first one to actually harm the company's sales. King studied 133 political boycotts from 1990 to 2005 and none of them accounted for more than a 1% drop in sales for a company; the Bud Light boycott had resulted in an estimated 18% drop in all AB InBev sales."
- Bunch of rednecks and angry fundies boycott a higher cost department store/coffee shop… meh. The same people boycott $2/gal alcoholic piss water? Real shit
- Interesting. I had assumed it went like the other 133 that source mentions.
  
  Wonder if there's just an extremely over-sized overlap between conservatives who were going to be offended about and willing to boycott and people who drink cheap beer that led to that statistically unusual outcome.
  
  Also maybe cheap beer is cheap beer and there's limited enough brand loyalty that other types of products don't?

"LET THE MARKET DECIDE!"

"Yeah, the market hates you!"

"Wait, not like that!"

I remember seeing on Shitter the founder of Home Depot was supporting Trump and people were saying they wouldn't shop there anymore.

The snowflake Trump supports were upset people would do that because it was hurting the workers. I guess it only matters when it is their cause.

Any argument they make is just what they think will have the most chance of getting others to agree with them. They didn't give a fuck about the workers in either case just like BP didn't really give a fuck about the retirees that depended on their survival.
- The right coined both “Cancel culture” and “Go woke Go broke” within 5 years.
Menards supports trump too.

What a bunch of easily triggered snowflakes

The last time I was in a Dunkin, there was a maga shithead explaining to a group of Brown people, why the tax policies of maga were good for them. I don't know if his diatribe was welcome or if he had them trapped as hostages by being next to them. It was a bit surreal. Anyway, I welcome the knowledge that Dunkin won't have the likes of him around anymore.

I’m confused about this lawsuit. Haven’t advertisers always been allowed to not advertise in places they don’t think align with their brand?

Elon Musk’s lawsuit over alleged X ad boycott “a very weak case,” professor says

Stupid people, who believe in "free speech" and resent "cancelation," don't think that should be allowed.
- And they're willing to cancel anyone who disagrees

The Bud Lite treatment: "boycott" for a few weeks and then go right back to buying their stuff. In fact I'd be surprised if they did that much in enough numbers to make even a wiggle in Dunkin's bottom line for the quarter.

I mean Bud Lite was significantly affected, but that’s mostly because the people boycotting it were the only ones buying it in the first place. I don’t think the right has a monopoly on Donuts and Coffee in the same fashion.

Good. Shorter lines for me.

Found the New Englander.
- Hey, they could be Midwestern too. We have the double-Ds too!

“To be honest ... I would be opposed to showing up on the current version of the platform—the right wing culture of the site is too polarizing from a brand suitability standpoint today,” the message read.

This seems perfectly reasonable.

If they are forced to advertise places, I’m going to sue them to advertise on my ass. I can provide metrics that show it has enough visitors to warrant at least a banner ad.

What is it woth the right and cancel culture? It feels like there's no free speech anymore.

Bunch of snowflakes.

What the shit is Rumble anyway?

Fascist YouTube.
sounds like the name of the right wing 'grindr' app
Rumble/Locals is a video sharing platform, like YouTube, and you don't have any of the ridiculous no-no words & censorship of YouTube to abide by (under threat of age-gating, deletion, demonetization). You can say words like: suicide, depression, covid, vaccine, Hitler, porn, pedophile, etc etc etc without people getting all weird.

You can stream copyrighted content & watch a movie together, as long as there's some banter & you're not straight ripping movies. It's fun, it's like watching with friends.

Each creator can enforce THEIR OWN censorship & values on their community as they see fit, the only thing(s) Rumble/Locals does not want to see are: porn, child porn, and idk probably like extreme gore.

Whatever blip Bud Light experienced was due to their flip flopping. I was ready to start stocking up for our annual July 04 bash and would have gone out of my way to buy some (even though I don't normally) until they rolled over for the magas and fired the person responsible for sending that single can of bud light to a trans influencer. I know others had a similar thought process, because I've seen it discussed online and in meatspace.

I'm sure I've bought products that they own since then unknowingly, but haven't knowingly bought an AB product since then. All they had to do was take a stance, but they proved to be exactly what all megacorps are - greedy and spineless. Edit: Just like Target, I might add.

That's going to be a problem for about a million fat-assed cops.

Another f-ing right-wing weirdo, lovely. I haven't been in a DD since I was 10 and we don't have them here on the left coast AFAIK but if there was any kind of boycott by these freaks, hell I'd mail order a half dozen boxes (if they do MO) and share at the local food pantry. DD donuts are awesome, loved them as a New England kid.

No, they're not. The donut quality has gone to the toilet, both in terms of workmanship (they come in frozen and par-baked, I think) and materials (they taste plasticine). The coffee tastes like dishwater.

Service is still quick and not terrible, and they're everwhere, and reliable. But by no means are they awesome.

(I still get a boston cream donut and medium regular after I've been away for a while. It's just a sign of home for me, but that's maybe twice a year at best.)
- Where I'm at, the service is slow and terrible in addition to the other points you've made. DD went downhill and then off a cliff.
- Agreed on this summary - however - DD's cold brew is significantly better than the majority of chain spots. Hell, it's even better/more consistent than a lot of small local shops in my area as well.
They're a disappointment these days. Few varities, often sold out. Thry really want to move towards the crappy food Starbucks sells and figure out $7 coffee.

I'd rather go to a local chain which has better variety and manages to have stock at 2PM.
- Also one open into the evening. Sometimes I want a coffee when I'm going somewhere after like 3 PM, but the only place open is Starbucks.
Unfortunately their donuts have gone way, way down in quality over the last couple decades.
DD donuts are awesome

Noting with high sugar levels is awesome because diabetes is terrible, and is causing people to lose limbs.

Well if they follow the Elon Musk model, can't Dunkin Donuts sue MAGA? LOL

wanking gesture

Oooooo hopefully this means lines will be a lot shorter in the morning when visiting the south

The Cancel Culture Party

I don't normally buy donuts for the office because the lines are long, but now... 😊🍩😋

Dunkin still has terrible donuts though.

Something something cancel culture…

I refuse to believe this will impact DD in any meaningful way.

What are they gonna do? Go to Starbucks? Lmao.

they still sell donuts? i thought they stopped

Say it ain't so! I know DD formally changed its business name and nobody cared much (most probably ignored it and kept calling them DD) but damn if they cut off the New England donut supply the pitchforks would have come out!
