Trump expands boycott calls to JP Morgan, ViacomCBS, Cisco, UPS and Merck over their stance against Georgia's new election laws as he warns the 'radical left' will destroy US

Donald Trump has expanded the list of companies he is calling on his supporters to boycott over their opposition to a new Georgia law placing tougher restrictions on absentee voting.

'For years the Radical Left Democrats have played dirty by boycotting products when anything from that company is done or stated in any way that offends them,' Trump said in a statement on Saturday. 'We can play the game better than them.'

It came after Trump called for boycotts of MLB, Coca-Cola and Delta over the companies' stances against Georgia's new voting law, which President Joe Biden has called 'Jim Crow on steroids.'

It’s not just ViacomCBS’s TV crap, either.

They’re publishing arm has put out lots of anti-US, anti-Trump crap over the years, funneling all kinds of money to Derp Staters.

The radical left have been destroying this country for decades, with the assistance of their Assistant Democrats, Bush League Republicans.
And Trump is still endorsing them for office!

I’m not going to boycott UPS (or Amazon).

Cutting off your nose to spite your face doesn’t help.

It’s silly and won’t work.

Boycotting baseball... now THAT will at least punish them.

Sports, ALL (organized) sports in ALL forms are unnecessary. Read a book. Tell your kids to read a book. Go play outside, even baseball! Don’t become OBSESSED with it! DON’T join leagues, coach leagues, watch on TV, attend COVID stadium events etc.

Don’t let “sports” take over your life, especially your kids’ lives. If it already has, NOW would be a good time to start rehab.

Boycotts are not enough. There must be legislation to de-politicize big business — in hiring, investments and contracting — and return power to individuals and shareholders.

For some time now I have tailored my shopping choices towards products on the shelf that say something like: made and sourced in USA. For food products (e.g., dog food) the “sourced” bit is important since otherwise the stuff could be assembled in the US (e.g., like car parts) but all of the ingredients come from elsewhere — like the plastic masquerading as protein that the CCP spewed out years back that killed so many dogs.
Anyhoo, to support any sort of boycott effort how about company sites simply saying “Not Woke”. Nothing further, as any attempt to explain would only give some hand-wringing Baizuo an excuse to be offended on behalf of someone they’ve never met.
Of course, such a claim will have to stand up to some sort of scrutiny. But, any company with the ‘alls to say this should be able to deal with it by putting the words on the first page of their site. In fact, I’d put those words in any DuckDuckGo search field so that companies that didn’t say that would never come up — like Amazon, Coke, Chic-Fil-A, etc.

I am ahead of the curve! The only product on the list that I had been using was Coca-Cola products, and I removed them from my shopping list quite a while ago. Frito-Lay also wanted to get political, so I switched to store brand chips (I get more in a bag with the store brand).

I agree but the problem is finding out who makes the store
brand products. Most are bought from some of the larger mfgrs.

America has entered a form of fascism - where every organization in society and corporations must serve the massive state, its politics and its ideology.

MLB doesn’t own baseball. They are monopolists who are given government sanctions and taxpayer money for support for their particular brand, that’s all.

Go to your local park and watch amateur AAA baseball. You can get up close, its free, and the players are still quite good.
