Well, this is embarrassing.
After Budweiser released a commercial during yesterday’s Super Bowl 51, chronicling the journey of Adolphus Busch, the beer giant’s founder who immigrated from Germany to the United States in the 1800s, Trump supporters immediately took offense. Apparently stories about immigrants of any kind–not just Muslims or Mexicans–are politically incorrect and should be banned.

The hashtag #BoycottBudwiser quickly started trending in response to the commercial, with many die-hard Trump devotees tweeting at the company about their disappointment in its pro-immigrant message. But what they didn’t seem to realize is that they spelled “Budweiser” incorrectly, forgetting the “e,” and totally killing their attempted boycott.
How about we take this to the next level?

Never fear. Other people quickly noticed the typo and pointed it out.
Here’s how the Internet has responded to the alternative spelling…
Only in America can #boycottbudwiser be trending. The people who complain about pressing 1 for English can't even spell America's beer.

The #boycottbudwiser hashtag isn't a typo. It's just alternative spelling.

It's hilarious that Anheuser-Busch donated $539,749 to politics this year with 60% going to REPUBLICANS, but you want to #boycottbudwiser

Anybody stupid enough to boycott beer don't deserve to live in the greatest country on earth. #boycottbudwiser

The people who #boycottbudwiser will still drink #BudWeiser because they'll think it's two different things, like Obamacare and the ACA.

So who's fault is it that you can't even correctly spell #boycottbudwiser? Is it Obama? Fake News? ISIS? Mexicans? Black people? I'll wait.

Apparently those saying they will #boycottbudwiser were already boycotting proofreading.

So, people are going to #boycottbudwiser because their commercial depicted one of the founder's immigration story? Yeah, that sounds right.

Liberals march for justice and the right calls them snowflakes. Yet #boycottbudwiser is trending because a commercial hurt their feelings.

Trump’s own mother was an immigrant, and his paternal grandfather Friedrich Drumpf (yep!) was an immigrant – if only because he dodging the Kaiser’s draft.
Adolphus Busch was a genius, a pioneer of pasteurization, bottling and refrigeration techniques, and a great philanthropist (unlike Trump).

The internet is laughing at Trump supporters for more than just a misspelled hashtag.

Drumpf. Lol.

Considering the infinite grammatical and spelling errors I’ve seen on this site, the irony that Queerty of all places is ridiculing someone for a misspelling is just. too. rich.

Here is the most accurate and telling tweet in the article:
“Liberals march for justice and the right calls them snowflakes. Yet #boycottbudwiser is trending because a commercial hurt their feelings.”
That applies to all “you people”, regardless of your skill at proofreading or understanding of spell check. And it is more incisive than the ridicule of a misspelling.

Would these people who are posting about it not also be descendants of immigrants? O_o If the 1800s is not early enough….

These are the same people who (if your memories serve) would only eat French Fries (which have nothing whatsoever to do with France besides a distant connection to French/Belgian pomme frites) if they were called “freedom fries”…and a sad few still insist on that. These are the same people who still call Gov. Brown of California “Governor Moonbeam”, despite his demonstration of a well thought out fiscal policy for the state. These are the same people who still refer to Jane Fonda as “Hanoi Jane” despite the passage of time and changes in her politics.
Do not expect either coherent thought or an understanding of reality from these people!

The GOP cuts education. A new clan of voters emerges from an abysmal academic system and then continue to vote against their interests. The zika virus will be the Republicans’ best friend in about 18 years. I wouldn’t have even seen this ad had this dumb boycott not taken place. The ad was stellar.

I’m not a con or a lib but Budweiser is some of the worst beer out there so that’s all the more reason not to buy it or drink it.
