Bud Light presents Real Men of Genius: Get Woke, Go Broke or... maybe not

Destroying Property is Not 
Okay... unless you're MAGA
The Real Men of Genius commercial series was probably the best extended commercial series ever conceived.  Only the All-State Mayhem series would pose a significant challenge (Flo from Progressive and We are Farmer's aren't nearly as funny as they think they are)

Apparently, the Bud Light boycott is already on the skids.

Seth Weathers ridiculous totally anti-woke conservative dad beer will literally never get brewed and I'm guessing all the MAGA Chuds who pre-ordered a 6-pack of Ultra White/Ultra Right Beer for $30 are content to have contributed to defeat the Wokesters.

But, more importantly Traitor Tot Jr, implored rightwingers to not boycott Anheuser-Busch because Republicans still get a lot of donations from the "King of Beer".  This didn't go over well with rightwing influencers who profit off of keeping rightwingers in a constant frothing fury of fear and anger.

Now here's the thing;  Corporations are not going to save us.  After the January 6th Trump/Republican Insurrection to overthrow the United States Government, many corporations swore off the GOP and declared their intention to withdraw corporate donations.  That last a few news cycles and by the time the 2022 election season rolled around Companies were back to donating to the Rape-publican Party.

But, remember it's not #CancelCulture when conservatives do it, and it's been shown time and again that rightwing boycotts fail, but conservatives don't believe this because since the W(orst President of All Time) Republicans have routinely huffed their own farts and believed their own agitprop.  What conservatives believe is they are the majority and it's only because of tyrannical liberal fake news media, indoctrinating education system which poisons the minds of young people against them, and cheating Democrats who stuff ballot boxes with bamboo lined Chinese Fakes and Dominion Voting Machines that keeps True Conservatives from handily winning every election.  

And since conservatives are are really the majority all of their voter suppression, woman shackling legislation, lies about protecting children, and anti-LGBTQ laws are good and righteous.  Lying for Jesus absolves all crimes.

It's Time to Cancel Christmas

The bomb cyclone and deep arctic freeze which settled over the midwest snarled and cancelled the Christmas plans of many people.  My flight was cancelled as Chicago endured -35 wind chill, although the snow totals were far lower than at first predicted as the low pressure system settled in Quebec instead of southern Illinois,

"We've been getting questions about 'what happened to all that snow?'" the National Weather Service out of Milwaukee/Sullivan tweeted early Friday. "The main reason is due to where the low pressure system tracked and deepened. Earlier this week, it looked like the low would be deepening just to our south. Now, it's doing that in Quebec. We had a number of days in a row earlier this week and over last weekend which was showing us the more favorable track. Over the past few days, that started to trend further east which then led to less of a chance of high snow amounts."

But, what this indicates is trying to move 100,000,000 people during the beginning of Winter is sub-optimal plan especially as the effects of Climate Change continue to exert themselves with these "Once-in-a-Generation" Storms which happen every year, so we should simply move the Christmas Holiday to late June.  I've thought mid-June was a perfect spot for a Federal Holiday but, last year the US Government under Joe Biden and a Democratic Congress approved Juneteenth as a Federal Holiday.  So perhaps we could set New Xmas between Juneteenth and the 4th of July or set it for late July, that would be a great time to have people get together.

Christmas being in December is a christian plot anyway.  The young Hebrew rabbi known as Yeshua ben Nazareth who claimed to be the physical son of God never existed.  Many of the stories, miracles, and anecdotes of "Jesus" were cribbed from previous Pagan deities.  This was specifically decided by early church leaders to make Jesus similar to Pagan myths and ease the transition from Pagan to christian in the Ancient Roman world.  And the choice of late December was directly copied from the Winter Solstice and Io Saturnalia.  Now, of course I don't expect any change of Christmas to every occur.  Eventhough I'm an atheist I'm not "Militant" as the christians throw that modifier on to anyone who points out the correct historical understanding of the early church.

In many ways, the religious fanatics in America are similar to their counterparts in Iran or the Taliban of Afghanistan.  Here in the United States, they are constrained and unable to enforce the religious dictates backed by State violence as opposed to those Muslim fanatics.  But, fear not the Religious Zealots on America are working on that!  And they will do so via the Courts.

"My Sincere Religious Beliefs" is the vehicle by which christians will destroy the United State of America.

They tried to use "Religious Liberty" as a mechanism to shut down Civil Rights in the 1950's and 60's but didn't have the established legal precedents to call upon.  But, since the 1971 Justice Lewis Powell Memo rightwing organizations especially the Reagan Era Federalist Society have slowly ensconced religious wackos on the Bench and built up a body of Case Law enshrining religious beliefs into various levels of government. 

Now I know there's a lot of #NotAllChristian apologia whenever it's revealed that high level religious zealots have the ear of Sammy di Puzzi Alito and other members of The Supremacist Court or when podunk State legislators make secular laws based on biblical teachings or when secret recordings of fundamentalist fanatics outlining their completely disingenuous arguments to abolish all Abortion are released, it all comes back to what christians in America want; total control of peoples' lives and State backed power to force you to live by their religious precepts.  And they are going to call this realm of death, oppression, and persecution the Land of Liberty defending the Freedom of Religion.

Conservative Cancel Culture: From 1619 To CRT to CTU

'Republicans want "to put y'all back in chains".  This was called a gaffe by President Biden in 2012. The last 9 years have shown Joe to be correct.  Republicans wish to reimpose Slavery, physical and mental, onto the American people. 

One of the areas conservatives saw and then seized a chance to impose mental slavery was to demonize the 1619 project and Critical Race Theory (CRT).  By undercutting and disallowing teaching of the past conservatives believe they can shape the minds of the future.

All of this circles back to Conservatives abject visceral hatred of Teachers; or more specifically Teachers' Unions.  Years ago teachers were mostly women and made little money, but today Teachers Unions have ensured educators have good salaries and benefits, and more importantly have Political Power.  That is unacceptable to right-wingers.

The American Right loathes the influence Teachers Unions exert on politics and have for decades.  Under Ronnie Raygun school choice and creationism were the cause celebre.  These days it's Critical Race Theory, transgender students, and sensible Covid mitigation efforts.  But, whatever the phony issue brought forth by rightwing propagandists and uncritically repeated by Corporate Media stenographers the goal is the same; cut funding for public education and exert control on what young people learn and, more importantly, how they think and process information.  As the splash page for the Arlington Heights, Illinois based "Christian Libtery Academy" quotes Proverbs, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it."

American Conservatives have been engaged in a long struggle to halt change and turn back the clock not only on the Progressive Era of the 20th century but, on all advances for civil rights, since right-wingers lost the Civil War.  A prime tactic conservatives used to undermine the United States has been infiltrating and subverting government at every level.  Intimidating and Invading Public School Boards has always been a tactic used by right-wingers.  For instance, here's the latest story about Ashley Sova, an Oregon III Percenter (3 percenters are one of the larger well-known rightwing paramilitary domestic terrorism organizations currently active) winning a spot on the school board.

Conservative Cancel Culture's goal is to defund public education, destroy Teacher's Unions, and control children's minds for the next and all future generations.  Covid and CRT are just the latest false flag operations used by conservatives but, the goal remains the same
