Meet The Shadowy Group That Intends To Use Boycotts To Hurt The U.S. Economy And Make President Trump Look Bad
Citizen Watch Report ^ | Michael

You have got to be pretty sick to want to damage the U.S. economy just so that you can make President Trump look bad. Whether you agree with President Trump’s policies or not, we should all want things to start moving in a positive direction. For the past several years, economic conditions have steadily deteriorated, and now we are at a real crisis point. It is literally going to take a miracle to turn our economic momentum around, and there are those that want to make this task even more difficult by purposely sabotaging the system.

On February 28th, a shadowy group known as “the People’s Union” is planning an economic blackout for 24 hours…

Consumers are rallying to speak through their wallets – or lack of spending – as a way to protest the retreat by some companies from DEI initiatives and President Trump’s actions to eliminate federal DEI programs since taking office. They are calling on consumers to boycott specific retailers and for one day later this month, to refrain from spending any money at all.

Numerous social media accounts are sharing the message of a 24-hour consumer spending blackout planned for Feb. 28. Consumers are encouraged not to spend money in stores or online for the day and if they have emergencies or essentials they need, they are encouraged to support a local small business.

“they are encouraged to support a local small business.”

Yeah. That will make Trump look bad. If I wanted to tool on morons who hate Trump, I would suggest just that.

They stop buying one day, then make up for it subsequent days, making it average out.

This is a surprise? Empirical evidence demonstrates that the evil left did shut down the US economy, via Fauci, in 2019-2020. The economy was booming at that time and it was therefore all but certain Trump was going to get reelected. To thwart that the left hijacked Covid to destroy the economy and take down Trump. They were successful. There is no doubt they are willing to try and disrupt the economy. They are now like cornered animals. They are desperate. But, they will fail.

So, they don’t make purchases on one day. They’ll make them either before or after that day. So there will be no net impact. These people are morons.

Isn’t obvious that those groups include legacy media, hollyweird, so-called academics, celebrities, weird DIE types and anti-Trump Republicans? I don’t need to mention ‘Democrats’ because those groups overlap with it.

Perfect analogy!

Yes, it’s nothing but a temper tantrum.

Last weekend I was visiting my family (son, DIL, 2 children). My 3 year old grandson was with me in the kitchen when he announced that he wanted some chocolate. I had already been warned by his parents that this is a frequent request, and I was working on dinner prep at the time. So I told him no, not right now, maybe later for dessert.

He promptly threw himself to the floor and started crying with tears. So I went over patted him on the back, and told him that his crying wasn’t going to change my answer, but that he could do it if it would help him feel better. Then he let out even more louder crying.

So I bent down again, looked him in the face, and said, “oh my! That is some really big crying! You are a good crier!”, and stood back up and got back to work. Next thing I knew, he burst out laughing from being told he was a good crier. It hit his funny bone, I guess.

The point is, let them have their tantrum. It will be over soon.

Or “Oh dear, tomorrow is boycott day. I’d better stock up today on bread, milk and TP.”

These people should be identified and have their voter registration revoked. Or deport them.

Pffffft! Most of the news media tries to make Trump look bad every hour of every day, yet people still love Trump. See Tagline.

These boycotts have been a bust for the last ten years.

“You have got to be pretty sick to want to damage the U.S. economy just so that you can make President Trump look bad.”

IDIOTS - these people cannot get it into their thick heads that this bunch literally HATES the country and WANTS to destroy it, by any means possible. So trying to make Trump look bad is simply their vehicle of choice right now. Before that it was ‘climate’, DEI, Transgender, etc. The list is endless.
