Sesame, salt, and substance. A flagship bake.
Summary
This opinion piece critiques the apparent hypocrisy of Trump supporters and MAGA conservatives who boycotted Bud Light in 2023 over its marketing campaign with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, yet now appear to embrace the brand again because it sponsors UFC 250, an event tied to Donald Trump's appearance. The author argues that the boycott was performative and that corporate interests override political posturing when convenient.
