Right Wing response to Budweiser ad - More proof of how unhinged they are

From my Facebook news feed

Freedomdaily headline screams "Budweiser Airs DISGUSTING Super Bowl Commercial Bashing Trump, Now they're Paying for it BIG TIME!"

The FB post was followed by Thousands of posts - 99% of them are pretty much the same thing - "Never drinking Bud again", "Losing half their customers", "Boycott", "Not watching Super Bowl this year", "Bud has LGTB agenda"... It goes on, but there is one thing none of them talk about:

What is it about an advertisement that celebrates an immigrant who launches a successful business that they recognize as "Bashing Trump"? Now I understand that liberals have noticed that in the context of Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies the message is a reminder of why immigration has always been a key to our nations's success. But I note a complete lack of any kind explanation from the right on why they believe that ad is an attack on Trump. So now, any immigrant success story is "Fake News" and "Disrespectful of Trump"?

Trump supporters are snowflakes with the melting point of helium.

I don't think so. Trumpsters will drink anything that's as cheap and tasteless as themselves...

They are very sensitive little snowflakes. Every little thing seems to make them explode. Just like the Beloved Leader, I guess.

You can attack Trump all you want, and you'll get, "Get over it!" Say something positive about something Trumpistas don't like, and they lose their collective shit.

Secondly that looks like it would be a pretty cool movie. Get on that, Anheuser-Busch and studios.

That wrote "America" on their beer cans last summer causing an orgy of rah-rah-USA. Maybe Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch) will learn something from this sequence of events too.

Good for them. I hope their sales skyrocket.

There was another cool commercial a few months ago, showing men coming face to face on opposite sides of an imaginary wall, then having a beer together. I think it was Tecate.
