Instagram Users Reject Rosie O’Donnell Call for ‘Economic Blackout Protest’: ‘Easy for a Multimillionaire to Say,’ ‘How About We Boycott Celebrities’

Left-wing comedian Rosie O’Donnell got more than she bargained for when Instagram users flooded her post calling for an economic boycott of the U.S., calling the boycott out of touch with the reality of working Americans.

The former The View co-host posted her call to boycott America on Wednesday with a meme demanding a “Mass Blackout” and promising to launch “The largest economic blackout protest in U.S. history.”

O’Donnell’s post calls for workers to refuse to go to work, for people to stay home and not attend any sort of event, and for people to stay away from all restaurants.

The header on the meme boldly states, “We’re not asking. We’re shutting it down.”

This is just another one of those toothless, left-wing attacks on the U.S. that won’t result in any noticeable decline in economic activity, of course. But despite the emptiness in this latest call to arms, hundreds of Instagram users totally nuked O’Donnell in her comments section for even posting the nonsensical meme.

Another user was unhappy with the attack on restaurants. “What did restaurants do to you? You wrote it 2x. Lots of mom and pop places will go under. Service staff survives on the tips. Many of those workers live pay check to pay check,” he wrote.

“This is great for people that are privileged enough to be able to do this,” one commenter pointed out. “A lot of small biz will suffer with a week of no sales, myself included. Maybe not even be able to pay rent or employees with that much revenue loss.”

“Encouraging people to sabotage their livelihoods because you have a severe case of TDS. Talk about being out of touch with normal everyday people,” a female Instgramer wrote.

Is O'Donnell and that autistic Swedish meatball Greta Thunberg in a contest to see who's the bigger dumbass?

Poor Rosie. That peace in the Middle East deal has really maid her cranky.

Americans are doing just fine, Rosie. What makes you think we’re interested in the opinion of an Irish citizen?

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

She called for everyone to stop eating but her!!!

[lee martell]

Rosie is too well known to get away with such silly nonsense. “If you knew Rosie, Like we know Rosie,
Oh, Oh, Oh what a Gal!”

[Freeleesy]

Is she in Ireland by now?

[frank ballenger]

Like James Carville, why does anyone give publicity to their worthless statements?

[gundog]

Yeah...so it’ll be easy to boycott American restaurants. What a keen grasp of economics she has.

[Nervous Tick]

>> why does anyone give publicity to their worthless statements?

So we can L our A off at them? LMAO!

I’m no psychologist, nor do I play one on teevee, but it’s apparent to me that lesbianism and other sexual deviancies are either causes of, or indicators of, significant mental illness.

There are too many examples to ignore!

A classic

I still find it hilarious that she walked away from the biggest talk-show on TV to be part of the already-crashing Million Mom March. She’s be as rich as Oprah if she had stayed with it. I love seeing people like this crash, it’s even funnier when it’s self-inflicted. She learned the hard way: Next time you jump on the bandwagon, make sure it’s still moving.

Good point.

It’s amazing to think that a dumbass like Rosie is worth about 80 million dollars, but she got her 80 mil by portraying a dumbass.

“Mass Blackout” and promising to launch “The largest economic blackout protest in U.S. history.”

is she going on a doritos hunger strike?

[Fireone]

‘How About We Boycott Celebrities?’
Been doing that for decades. Don’t pay for their cable TV shows, don’t go to their live shows, don’t buy their music, don’t buy their crappy merchandise, don’t go to movies, ever.
These sanctimonious, self-aggrandizing, holier than thou “stars”, and their opinions, mean absolutely nothing to me.

[Sleepless in Jerusalem]

Perfect.

[Hyman Roth]

She’s in Ireland. She can go hang out with Bono.

For her part, Rosie promised to reduce her consumption of processed wheat slurry and bulk hog renderings to under 50 lbs per week.

Says it was a "hard decision," and that it will require a lot of self-sacrifice on her part, but that she wants to "hit America where it hurts - in the agro-industrial waste treatment sector."

I love that these lefties are still clueless that most Americans have moved on from the failed policies of the democrats (poll approval rates between 30% and 19%). Thank you President Trump.
