“understand that Amazon hates you (but loves communist China). “

“That new can opener or garden hose you so desperately need? You can order pretty much whatever you need from Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot”

And where do you think Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot get a lot of the cheap crap that you buy?

I wonder if a better approach with Facebook is to flood it with conservative content. Based on post and comments from my conservative Facebook friends, there is a lot of content that gets by the Facebook censors. They can’t ban everything.

Yes, I would say buy local/generic when you can. Not possible to do 100% but every little bit helps.

I’ve believed for a long time that Christian churches should have a line item in their budgets for educating their members’ children outside of public school.

We have line items for Deacons Fund, Missions, etc. Educating kids is just as important. Pay for online homeschool courses through places like Abeka, Bob Jones, Liberty might have one. Supplement what parents pay for tuition at private schools.

Just an idea.

LOL! It reads like something like a list of Pro-Tips from your virtue-signaling neighbor who really has no clue.

Hell, I’m already doing most of those. I do very rarely buy a book from Amazon but that’s it. I have a Facebook account I’ve logged into maybe 6 or 7 times in as many years.

I use DuckDuckGo for my browser. I refuse to log into Youtube so they have a harder time tracking me. No Reddit, no Twitter, no other social media accounts, nothing.

I do have a Paypal account which I’m thinking of dropping.

I have dropped TurboTax and Bank of America for their gun grabbing. Obviously, I will not do business with Levi Strauss, Ben & Jerry’s, Nike and a few other well known Leftist companies.

You will shop harder and spend more by adhering to moral principles.

Duckduckgo works great.

Facebook wastes your time and spies on you.

Defund the left’s billionaires.

I like to take positive actions. May I suggest reaching out to people who the leftists think are going to be on their side and showing them, by your actions, friendship, and ideas, that the woke leftists are wrong.

It may be as simple as a pleasant conversation with a stranger in the parking lot of a Home Depot, or as involved as helping someone in a poor community who is trying to run a successful business.

The idea is to defund Jeff Bezos and his leftist minions, and for that purpose buying goods from his competitors is helpful.

Solving the problems created by mass outsourcing of manufacturing to China and other countries by many, many business owners and executives that put their short term well being before any kind of support for our nation is a longer term challenge.

It was astounding to watch the supposedly educated elites be surprised to find out that our nation depends on Communist China for products as essential as surgical masks.

All worth doing, but weaning one’s self from them is not easy.

They provide various emotional rewards we crave — attention, presents at the door, pride of knowledge, gossip.

Keep the message and lefty lists continually fresh in the minds of conservatives and patriots. Make starving them our common goal. Celebrate victories.

I cannot recommend this article enough. It’s what I’ve been telling conservatives for years; decades. DON’T FUND THE ENEMY. Do without if you have to, pay a little more when you can’t, be willing to be inconvenienced to obtain the products and services you need.

BUT DON’T FUND THE ENEMY.
