They say consumers need to vote with their wallets, and for the last few months, conservative consumers have made their voices heard.

Several large companies, including Anheuser-Busch and Target, have lost massive amounts of money following business decisions that conservative customers did not approve of. Target alone saw its stock drop by $9.3 billion in market value earlier this year.But others embracing conservative values are being rewarded with strong sales.

"Try That In A Small Town, for me, refers to the feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief," Aldean tweeted."Because they were our neighbors, and that was above any differences." Bud Light, which went temporarily dark on Twitter for two months following backlash over its partnership, has attempted to make a comeback over the last month, though the attempts have so far fallen flat.The retail giant received major pushback from conservatives after it was revealed stores were selling a special bathing suit for transgender people that was “tuck-friendly,” with the suit located directly across from LGBT clothes for children.

Target's controversy did help two conservative rappers create a popular song, however. Music artist Jimmy Levy’s “Boycott Target” song with"MAGA rapper" Forgiato Blow claimed the top spot on the iTunes sales chart.
