The Bud Light Meltdown Is Good for America

National Review

Rich Lowry: With every viral anti-Bud Light video and 12-pack moldering on a store shelf or in a warehouse, the message is being sent to other corporations that gratuitous forays into the culture war are risky. Coupled with the ongoing contention over Disney, whose image has taken a big hit among Republicans, the flare-ups raise the prospect we’ve entered a new era of conservative consumer power. 

The Plight of Detransitioners

National Review

There’s a growing community of detransitioners, people who have realized that, despite feeling deeply unhappy before medical and social transition, their gender identity was not the culprit. These individuals, many of them young women, report that they had no problem accessing life-altering medical intervention, often as teenagers, often only days or weeks after announcing their symptoms.

The Trump Verdict

National Review

Rich Lowry: I’m guessing it won’t have much effect one way or the other on Republican voters, who weren’t paying attention to the trial, as far as I can tell. Most Republicans — at least those not already opposed to Trump — will also likely dismiss it as part of the ongoing, politically motivated legal assault against the former president. It will definitely add to his baggage in a general election if he’s the nominee, though.
