It would suck to be a diehard MAGA supporter, all these American brands that you constantly need to boycott. For the team that hates cancel culture, there sure is a lot of cancel culture to keep up with.
You say that as if it isn't even harder for us leftists trying to boycott Nestle (and all its subsidiary brands!), Coke (ditto), the entire fossil fuel and plastics industries, etc.
Meanwhile, it's simple for the MAGAs since it's all performative bullshit anyway: they just have to avoid the particular brand name that pissed them off (e.g. boycotting Bud Light by switching to Michelob, ignoring that it's made by the same company).
And really they only need to keep up with the latest one to keep up appearances
Wait what’s wrong with Coke? Maybe I don’t want to know.
Various people boycott Coke for a bunch of different reasons (on both ends of the political spectrum, ranging from "supporting Israel" to "being woke"), but what I was thinking of when writing that is how an acquaintance boycotts them for murdering union organizers in Colombia a couple decades ago.
The list is long enough that it has it's own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Coca-Cola
It sounds amazing in principle for the rest of us.
I'm across the pond, but if the right wing Muppets suddenly started boycotting Costa or Cafe Nero, I'd be spending far more of my time there.
