A conservative group is offering a new service that texts “Woke Alerts” straight to the phones of grocery shoppers who want to know which brands are accused of taking political positions that are offensive to the right.The plan marks an escalation by deep-pocketed conservatives to hit corporations where it hurts — their bottom line.

Conservative musicians such as Kid Rock and Travis Tritt have lashed out at Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch after the brewer partnered with Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender activist and popular TikToker.Consumers' Research is launching a six-figure digital ad campaign this week to drive people to sign up forUsers can enter their phone number and then be alerted when the organization decides that a company is engaging in overtly progressive political activities.

Spelling Bee Moderator: spell “woke”, and use it in a sentence. 2nd Grade Contestant: W-O-K-E. When I woke up, the first thing I thought about was sticking it in Ron Desantis’s butt.

It’s about time the Right starts fighting back 👍

For supporters of capitalism, Republicans sure seem interested in controlling how private businesses operate.

cool

I’m thinking of signing up so that I can use the service in reverse. I’ll buy as many so-called “woke” products as possible and avoid the others!

Great! Now, I’ll know which “woke” brands to buy!

These people are getting more scary every day brewing in the hate of their own propaganda. It is not going to end well.

Text me with universal healthcare

How do I sign up?

Congrats to the fringe right for beating the fringe left to figuring out how to use technology to remind the rest of us how obnoxiously annoying they are.

Sign me up

Imagine living like this. Just sad

This is helpful. If a company isn’t on this list, I won’t do business with them.

The app just needs one line of code, lol: IF [user input] THEN return 'woke'

Real snowflake behavior lol

Will there be a bed wetting alert system as well?

I wish them luck finding food. Any food.z

That will make them purchase the items to make a rage video online. Still, win win for the inclusive companies.

That's going to leave them with a slim picking of off-brand items in there cart.

haha but hey, cancel culture is bad?

Wow. Fix yourselves. Crooks.

Where do I sign up! Go woke go broke!

Good. Just mindful shopping. Lots of social groups do this.

Do they understand it's pretty much every single thing in the store?

Cool. Thanks for the info.

BuT cAnCeL cULtUrE iS bAd!

What could go wrong

May actually solve obesity problem in conservative states in middle America. Nothing to eat for them anymore.

Woke, Organic Applesauce

I’ll make certain to purchase them all

These are the same people who decry the rise of cancel culture, right?

Thank you. I cannot wait to buy all the brands that are Woke. Because I am not a racist, bigot or conservative assh*le

Great, now I'll know which 'woke' brands to buy. But I'll read the fine print before I install that app, for sure.

Why don't they just start whole new grocery stores where they don't even carry woke stuff like quinoa, black and white cookies or feminine hygiene products

Maybe those on the left can use the service to support those brands.

lol enjoy spending an extra 2 hours shopping because a company acknowledged that lgbtq people exist, bigots

Let me guess, they're gonna shoot the products.

Perfect

Cut to snowflake conservatives starving in their cars at the WalMart parking lot when they find out all of the products are 'woke'.

Hmm..gay pasta on aisle 2, Trans soups on aisle 3, BLM oatmeal on aisle 4, Dreamers paper towels on aisle 5. Watch out for the feminist candy at checkout.

Bustin_Fields fuck we missed out on this

The reasons companies take these positions is simply due to the fact that their most affluent customers share them. The wealthy doctor or lawyer has more purchasing power than Jim Bob flying a Confederate flag from his 2002 F-150.

'What about these pickles ARE THEY WOKE TOO'

If you are a believer of a certain way, wouldn't you want to support that and stay away from giving money to ones who don't? Left does the same exact shit e.g. My Pillow, Chick-fil-A, etc.

cant wait to be texted awake at 4am to find out that conservatives made tony the Tiger non-binary

ItWasACoup Once again the Republicans are trying to use sophomoric humor as campaign slogans to motivate their hilljack base. Ridiculous.

Can you imagine what good they could do with all of that organization, funds and motivation if they weren't petty, small people?

This is so pathetic and sad

Wake me up At the Shop and Go I only buy when It says “no homo”

WOKE ALERT: All arms manufacturers have gone woke. There are no more anti-woke guns. Protest the far left's radical agenda today by disassembling your AR-15

Not buying lucky charms to own the libs.

So, doing exactly what the left does with companies

Right wingers are cowards and snowflakes.

Because conservatives should be just as neurotic as the left.

Lefties have been doing this sort of thing for a long, long time.

So they made an email list or phone tree into an app to collect your data and right wingers are so triggered over a queer person being in a beer ad or whatever they’re going to send their data to unaccountable third parties in order for free texts what not to buy? Lmfao

Ffs.

Sounds exhausting and like a shitty way to live life. Absolutely love it for them.

The icon is a diaper filling with tears (and poop)

Can I subscribe so I can support those 'woke' brands?

I hope these geniuses are prepared to list pretty much every major brand 🙄🫠.

thank God we bailed out SVB or else this tech innovation might never have been

‘Woke’ defined by party. Dem - do the right thing GOP- do the white thing

These *fellow Americans* are truly, aggressively awful.

The biggest snowflakes of all time!!!!

Fascinating to behold the direction this society is heading...🤭

How fragile the right is nothing but a bunch of snowflakes ❄️

It's going to be a much shorter list of those that don't! Imagine being THAT pressed!?!

Imagining white people in a circle eating Goya beans by candlelight

How pathetic these weirdos are getting

Conservatives aren't serious people. This will be popular because they are 🤡

People are free to not purchase an item available to buy at any retailer. But, for any real change to truly happen, multiple chains that buy the product at wholesale have to choose to not purchase and have an item available from the maker to have any tangible impact.

ItWasACoup That’s OK. Liberals can easily use the same app to decide what NOT to buy. …If we actually gave a shit about this petty nonsense.

trigger warning for right wing babies

I was waiting for Evangelicals to come out with their own version of the Kashrut.

'offensive to the right' lmao

'Polical'

what if texting becomes woke?

Every single Conservative on Earth is a giant baby with a filled diaper.

This seems kinda woke

I still have some leftover Freedom Fries if anyone wants them.

I heard that eating food, drinking water, and breathing oxygen might turn you into a liberal.

Offensive to the right = any sort of basic human decency

Imagine this is where you find yourself in life

So they want to get real-time “triggers” to virtue signal their cancel culture?

Reads like a paid advertisement

How long before the woke alert tells the violent fascists when there are lgbtq employees working?

WTF!!!! Hahaha!

The media should force these kkkonservatives to actually define woke. Media malpractice

Soooo cancel culture 🤷‍♂️

AllezLesBoulez Right wingers are just gonna be eating the rudimentary paste from RoboCop pretty soon

For those who would like to know what products are made/owned by extremists who support the corrupt GOP, check out goodsuniteus and their excellent app.

“Woke Alert!! Carmichael’s Confectionery has 2 women and a black guy on their board.”

Cool so less demand means lower prices ?

Perhaps the progressive side of the Disunited States should likewise alert shoppers to brands that support regressive GOP positions. The enlightened DO outnumber the bigots, if only they would 'weaponize' their wallets like the (fake) 'pro-business' party does. DNC justicedems

Is it a conservative group tho? MSM seems to believe that only conservatives are against the “woke” ideologies. I am a liberal (just not a far left one) and I as well as many others are against them as well but we constantly are labeled as conservative.

Woke corn flakes are yummier than hate corn flakes.

Does it include discount coupons and 2 for 1 bonuses?!

LOL so fucking pathetic

Serious question: Who are the snowflakes exactly? GOP

What if corporations came up with a way to politically antagonize consumers to increase consumption.

I believe there is something for this on the Left and for other causes. Fair is fair.

Awesome

Hilarious! I'll use it as info for which brands I SHOULD consider buying. Thank you to the 'conservative' FOOLS that thought up that service!

So you think it's wrong to boycott a company because they go against our act against your beliefs? Be those beliefs political or religious or some other reason? Because it seems like that is what is being implied here. That couldn't be though.

By woke do they mean social conscious?

Where can I get the list? I want to support those companies.

Sign up today and be the first to know when companies cave to the woke agenda:

How do I subscribe? Tired of corporations going political. Just be neutral.

'Woke companies' have nothing to worry about.😏 Why are you feeding into their hysteria and misusing a word that means something totally different than what ' the right' is alleging. Is this what it has come to in America?

Since Democrat policy made San Francisco another political shithole, I’ll shop at Whole Foods today out of respect. Cancel the woke garbage.

probably a scam to eventually spam dumb alt-righters

“woke” is so funny lol

Right wingers after leaving the grocery store empty handed

Ugh

Because there is, of course, no actual real problems to deal with, or anything. 🤦‍♀️

This could be a time saver, helping socially conscious non-MAGAs know where to shop!

🤣

I’m ok with this. 🇺🇸

I see a day coming where the only thing they eat are Goya beans.

Aren’t these same people canceling Bud Light et al.?

Ah, the cancel culture whiners now leading the cancel culture. Makes sense.

Aren't these the folks complaining about cancel culture?

How very woke of them.

CancelCulture woke

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m in

Talking about cancel culture…

Is the app named Chicken Little?

Cancel Culture Club is at it again…
