I’d rather see a total “Economic Boycott” happen, especially over any other act of civil disobedience. At least for 30 or 60 days. It’s legal, and completely anonymous if you don’t want anyone to know you’re participating (in not participating). You won’t go to jail, lose your job, or be bankrupted by the IRS (for a tax boycott).

Besides, how many corporations are now telling us they don’t want our money — or sell our products — if we’re conservatives? It’s time we take them at their word, and keep our money for ourselves. Make them work AND beg for it.

If we could get the majority of Trump voters to participate it would have a profound impact on the economy and the government.

We still have the right to spend our money how, when and where we want to. You’re right, those can be powerful and influential decisions.

The Left does it. So can we.

In addition to divestiture (or going into a gold fund of some sort as an inflation hedge) - there are other options that are pretty easy and very effective if a few million households do it:
1. Buy store brand, not name brand (i.e. house cola instead of Coca-Cola)
2. Find it on Amazon, buy it from a local or non-Amazon seller
3. Boycott Whole Foods entirely
4. Buy used items, not new
5. Spend the next 90 days buying nothing other than food & necessities - no durable goods like washer/dryers unless to replace broken ones.
6. Local family-owned restaurants, not chains
