The GOP will suffer worse than the rats, a new party will be born from this. I think its time we stop buying china crap, and from those corporations and businesses who do not have our best interests, this will be the start. We need new fresh ideas for every American to engage in at this point to strangle these fu###ers where they stand, ALL OF THEM! The coup is complete but its not over

Agree. Stop feeding the beast. Buy second hand clothes and other items at Goodwill, flea markets, auctions or yard sales. Buy food at farmer’s markets. Plant a backyard garden in the spring to grow vegetables and herbs. When you have to buy new items buy from local businesses, not the big chains.
Don’t feed the Amazon beast. It takes a few seconds to competitively shop online. In almost every situation you can find another retailer whose prices are as good or better than Amazon. I’ll pay a couple of dollars more to buy an item from an independent online retailer instead of Amazon.
Start attending meetings of your local government. Many today are being conducted on Zoom and citizens can speak. Get to know your neighbors by walking the neighborhood and talking to them and by communicating on Next Door. Volunteer to serve on local government panels. In my village there are several appointed citizen boards helping the town council develop policy. These are feeder positions to running for town council. Attend the local school board meeting and ask questions about the curriculum.
If every person on Free Republic spent an hour or two per week being involved in local government it would make a difference. One of the major reasons our country is going down the tube is the left is organized and engaged with government at all levels. They are the only voice in the room. To take the country back we have to do it at the grassroots level by filling the appointed boards, serving on town councils, and working to promote a different agenda. It is much more difficult for the town council to vote for wasteful spending when the room is full of citizens who oppose the expenditure.
One other thought. Get some friends together build a website and start a local online newspaper. Provide straight news about what is going on in your community. Profile local businesses. Have citizen volunteer reporters attend local government sessions and write up a synopsis of the meeting. Interview local officials and post the interviews in your online paper. Give local clubs and organizations a forum to speak to the community about their activities. Provide a calendar of upcoming government meetings and encourage people to attend.
Make the news section 100% fact based. Gain credibility by not mixing news and opinion. Let the opinion section stand out separately and distinctly. Follow this formula and you will quickly gain credibility and develop a readership. People are craving facts and trustworthy sources of hard news. Build the product they crave and the world will come to your door.
Finally, start being an ambassador for good in a world becoming increasingly mean and harsh. Say hello to strangers you encounter and smile. Smile and tell people you engage with every day to “have a nice day”. Don’t show anger when you encounter difficult people, they will only become more difficult. When someone you encounter does a good job thank them for helping you or compliment them for doing an excellent job. An army of people conveying winning positive attitude can change the world.
