Republican Crybabies Are Making MILLIONS Off "Woke" Freakouts

Conservatives have mastered the art of the freakout, and they know that railing against a product or corporation for weeks will net them millions of views, and possibly even millions of dollars. All they have to do is slap the "woke" label on them and they can milk it until they find something new to be outraged about. This is how conservative media thrives, and Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins talks with Around The Nation host Jeff Waldorf about the right wing freakout machine.

Folks, Republicans are still freaking out about Bud Light in between their freakouts about the Little Mermaid, and of course, Nike's and Yeti coolers and Keurigs and Mr. Potato Head, and pretty much every single thing that you've ever heard of, there's gonna be a little bit of right wing freak out attached to it at this point. I am joined now by Jeff Waldorf, the host of Around the Nation. Find him on YouTube, youtube.com/waldorfnation. Jeff, it's great to have you back on Ring of Fire, especially to talk about something so insane. You know, I know we have other issues facing the nation right now, but oh my God, we can't get away from these Republican freakouts. So, I mean, Bud Light, I mean, it's horrible now. We're not allowed to touch it because I guess it'll turn you gay in the eyes of the Republicans now.

Exactly. Hey, first of all, glad you invited me. It's good to be here. It's good to talk to you again. And I think this is gonna be fun. I enjoy a good right wing freak out more than anybody. Okay. So, I don't know, you might have to like, be careful on YouTube with this, right? There was a video that I saw yesterday about somebody like a right winger opening a can of Bud Light, putting this to his lips, and then suddenly it turns into a big black, well, you know, tally whacker.

Yeah. And, God, I mean, just in the last, you know, what, two weeks now, I guess, we've been dealing with this freak out and just in case.

Oh, longer.

Anybody's not familiar with it, Dylan Mulvaney transgender influencer did a promotion for Bud Light. Now, that should be the end of that story. That should be all that we know about that story. Like, okay, cool, Bud Light reached out to a popular person and said, endorse our product. We'll, you know, send you some beer cans with your face on it. That's pretty cool. Hey, I'd do it. But, oh my God, Kid Rock kind of kicked it off shooting his Bud Light out there that, like you paid your money for this thing that you're now destroying. And it culminates goes through, you know, a couple weeks now. We got the idiot on video in a Walmart like destroying Bush Light, because they hate Anheuser-Busch now. Who by the way, it's also worth noting, that guy got arrested for that but also charged with exposing himself. Um, so that's a little bit of interesting tidbit here. It's always the ones you most expect.

Let me just add, to a minor, a 16 year old.

Oh God.

This is the party of protecting children and the party of family values, and we gotta stop the drag queens because they're going after the children. Come on.

It is, it's almost too much. You know? I mean, but you have to also understand, and I know you know this and I know this, but the reason we see these freakouts, whether it's Bud Light, you know, we got the Little Mermaid coming up, and she's not white now, so, oh my God. It's because it draws them viewers. Like, they make millions of dollars off of these freakouts that otherwise nobody would even care about. It's not a blip on anybody's radar. Nobody's pushing an agenda except for you guys, because it makes you money. They don't actually care about it. They want the money from the freakout of their base. That's what this is.

Yeah. Look, a lot of us, at least I can speak for myself here, I didn't know who Dylan Mulvaney was before this happened.

I didn't either.

There was a lot of people who didn't know who Dylan Mulvaney was, and, you know, no shade on her or anything like that. I'm just not familiar with like Instagram influencers or anything like that.
