MAGA fans? More like MAGA cultists based on their behavior (in this particular instance for example).
Do they have Costco in Nigeria?
Is this boycott being pushed by US MAGAs or by their foreign thought leaders?
I wonder which countries these boycotters are from. 70% chance these are bots from Russia, India, or South Asia.
Gotta love it
"Yeah! Let's go somewhere that'll charge us way more money to pwn the libs!!"
- maga punching themselves in the balls again
What's a magats favorite gun?
A footgun.
Owning the libs so hard.
GOOD.
Get MAGA out of my Costco. Won’t miss you assholes even for a second.
The new Bud Light? Annheuser-Bush is up almost 16% for the year. Sounds like that boycott didn't go so well. I'm sure Costco wouldn't mind a 16% boost to their stock price.
It's almost like the people who attacked Bud Light aren't even intellectually capable of understanding concepts like "parent companies" and how much of their world has been consumed and consolidated by corporate forces.
Most of them literally think that they hurt "Bud Light, the beer company" and have never even looked up any actual information or details.
How did they even hurt them. By purchasing tons of it and then destroying it. Yes purchasing their stuff is the way to hurt a company.

I guarantee they forgot about it a week after it was out of the outra- the news cycle
Ugh, whenever I hear about Bud Light I feel sorry for Dylan Mulvaney and the shitstorm she got dragged into
So you're telling me we won't have to deal with trash at Costco anymore?
I thought these dumbfucks wanted low prices, LOL?
Now they are butthurt if companies like Costco sue to get that money back that Taco illegally added to the cost of so many things?
Must be Redhat Logic (TM).
I thought these dumbfucks wanted low prices, LOL?
Nope. They never cared about grocery prices. They never cared about border security. They never cared about the economy. They never cared about protecting children and the whole laundry list of "huge conservative issues" because they are getting their values from FOX-feelings-news, not any carefully thought-out positions.
They're just dumb people. Every population is going to have a dumb segment. Our ire and desire for destruction should be focused squarely on the grifters and networks and pundits on Youtube who are feeding this stupidity-powered machine.
The dumb people themselves? We can turn them. It's not that hard, they are... and I cannot stress this enough, dumb. What the left broadly forgets though is that you don't turn dumb people with smart arguments, you have to influence them the way you would a toddler. Change how they feel, then you can point them at a new target. People like Sanders have been doing this for decades and has huge success. The whole plot is right there, easy to use, we have tyrannical oligarchs who are stealing our money and hiding in boats in other countries and so on.
It's just that said people in boats have designed a culture war so that the dumb fucks don't realize who the real enemy is. It sounds stupid simple to anyone who can read, but I have to remind everyone, nearly a quarter of US adults are functionally illiterate. We have to stop expecting smart arguments and preaching and scolding to work. We have to say dumb shit to make dumb people attack the right targets.

Considering I can barely get into the CostCo parking lot for all the people there, I suspect their boycott will amount to little.
If we can get them to boycott Walmart too somehow, we can just starve them out entirely. They can’t afford to boycott the best value in town.

They tried that "go woke go broke" bullshit when Costco refused to ditch their DEI policies. It didn't make a dent then. This lawsuit won't hurt Costco either.
When they did that, my local Costco staff was wearing LGBTQIA related pins, shirts, hair ties. Their private lockers (which we can see) had stickers.
Poor snowflake maga.
Great, no more MAGA at Costco, now I can know everyone there is a liberal hottie.

"grrr, costco is giving in to the woke agenda, i'm just gonna go shop at sam's club instead"
I'd bet real money that most of the "people" threatening to boycott don't live on the same continent as a Costco store anyway.

Bud Light seems to be doing fine.
That's because people boycotted them by buying other beers owned by the same brand

Costco's legal department being the last remainining Constitutional lawyers in America was not something I expected but am not surprised about, either.

How dare Costco try and keep prices low? We want the government to fuck us over!

The only boycotting they are doing is on twitter while they wait in line at the Costco checkouts.

X commenter Leftyslayer complained, “Costco immediately passed the burden to its customers. They took the profits during the good times and now they screw the citizens during downturn. They have no loyalty to the customer.
Actually not true (imagine my surprise at an X user being uninformed)
From another article:
Millerchip said that while Costco was seeing a direct impact from tariffs on imports of some fresh food items from Central and South America, it decided not to increase prices "because they are key staple items" for its customers.
Costco has been eating the costs of the tariffs (at least in some cases)
