At the retail level, the culture wars have taken a particularly silly turn as conservatives celebrate Anheuser-Busch's falling stock prices following a widespread boycott of Bud Light after it partnered with a transgender social-media influencer to promote the beer. The Mexican beer Modelo has soared into the top spot in U.S. beer sales as a result.
But who is going to break the news to the culture warriors? Modelo's parent company, Constellation Brands, boasts that its "diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals…are critical components to our future success." Trying to one-up always-agitated left-wing social-justice warriors, right-wingers also are angry about Target's LGBQT displays—and have turned on religiously conservative Chik-Fil-A after learning it has a DEI officer.
