I live my life trying to avoid supporting any leftist orgs or companies and have done it for years. Just know you can not avoid them all but the ones you can not, I always try to get as much from them as possible while paying as little as possible.

“Thinking what would happen if 50 million Republicans reregistered as Democrats in the next 30 days and began attending their meetings.”
We’d be like a horrible itch they couldn’t scratch...an internal disease they couldn’t cure.
Oh, and...don’t donate a friggin’ cent to them.
Seriously...that sounds like it could be fun.
Better to just boycott everything you can whenever you can. Make the good companies come looking for us, not the other way around. Slow down tax revenue. Let the companies go begging to D.C. for relief. We are far beyond the point where we can pick and choose and expect that to make much of an impact.
What can I do? In the face of the coming storm, what constructive actions can we take to conserve what works and protect ourselves? Here are a few actionable solutions anyone can adopt at a personal or local level.
Find your tribe. Network, meet in person. Social media can’t censor what you say in private. This also helps you emotionally, since you’re meeting with people who support you instead of mistaking the digital lynch mobs for what matters.
Preserve conservative institutions like churches, schools and clubs. Fight social justice infiltration or pressure to submit to liberal political demands like, “you really need a BLM lecturer in here, you’ll be good if you throw up our political symbols”.
Educate. Teach your kids your values at an early age, by reading stories that share your values. Don’t let the kids go to drag queen story time or social justice story time. Protest if the school or daycare does this, or if you’re not able to do that, take your kid out and discuss the protest with other parents. Abilene Paradox – people wrongly think that the official dictate is what everyone agrees with because no one says anything against it.
Buy books that explain the conservative worldview and defend it like those by Dennis Prager. Buy books that explain why liberals and conservatives are different without demonizing them like Jonathan Haidt’s works. And start book clubs reading these books. Hello, tribe!
Fight any attempt to add social justice to codes of conduct. For example, the National Association of Realtors just implemented a policy where you can be fined or expelled for “hate speech”, public or private. Other organizations have weaker versions of this, but expect it to ramp up.
Law, medicine and social work already have rules regarding this, equating trust and respect and empathy to liberal values - so you can’t get licensed if you don’t agree. Fight this, if you don’t want to be kicked out of professional organizations if you don’t pass the liberal political litmus test.
Hire conservatives, because businesses are firing them. Assist those who have been fired for their beliefs.
2ndvote.com allows you to find conservative and neutral businesses that share your values.
You can even sort by category (restaurants, groceries, hardware, retail) or values (pro-life, 2nd amendment).
Do you like the local or national conservative talk show hosts? Buy the stuff they’re hawking, and especially use the reference or discount codes they provide. This will tell sponsors that this sponsorship is financially important to them. And that helps keep these shows on the air.
Clean your room. Sort yourself out. You can’t fix the world, but you can improve your own life and situation. Read Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University books. Get out of debt. Save up an emergency fund. If Biden’s cronies crash the economy, you’re in a much better situation. And you’re in a Christian group that can be the start of your tribe, or you can arrange classes at your church or with your networking groups to bring everyone closer together.
Encourage Sanctuary Cities/Sanctuary States on any issue you support. Second Amendment sanctuaries already exist. Pro-life Sanctuaries are far fewer but could spread. Support the groups that got these policies passed, and encourage such movements in your area. You may not be able to change federal tax and immigration policy, but you can try to preserve free speech if someone can implement a First Amendment Sanctuary law at a state level.

Would be glad to spend dollars to support.
What better way to divert my money.
Bookmarked this thread for any updates.
thanks for your effort.

great start to “goodboycotting.com”
With exception of watching syndicated comedy shows like Raymond or Big Bang right before bedtime, I have not watched network TV in over a year, proud to say. Network news - HA! They’ve been dead to me for YEARS.
I will work through the list you’ve mentioned. If the 80 million Trump voters could do this, that would be great.
I’m committed.
Been offline for a bit welcoming my new baby into the world. All the more reason to ensure their future is bright.
I’ve kicked off the project and will announce when I have something to share.
I will be focusing first on companies that are on the fence politically, but spend lots of money on liberal platforms. They should be easiest to sway and quickly impact revenue to Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
Amazon is a tough one, as there are not great online competitors. We’ll just have to focus back to spending locally, or working with smaller online retailers that share conservative/libertarian beliefs.
For some this will be a minor shift in habits, for others, this is will have to be a sacrifice from normal habits and behaviors, but well worth it if we can quickly impact the bottom line of the free speech violators.
