re: Have protests ever changed a mind?

Before last year if I wanted a cheap, domestic lager I was probably as apt to order a Bud Light as I was a Coors or Miller. I didn't have a strong preference. Whatever was cold and available was good enough at that moment. However, when BL's marking department signaled I was not among their preferred customer base through their vapid virtue signaling, I figured all things being equal (and they pretty much are) a Coors or Miller is just as good. So I've just ordered those in that situation since.

I don't know if that counts as a protest. I haven't ever cut a plastic garbage can in half and used it as a shield while running at someone drinking a Bud Light. But I guess that backlash technically changed my mind.
