Shunning our family and neighbors is pretty "effing" worthless

Don't get me wrong. I am cutting MAGAts out of my life. I think I can get by with skipping the 4 times a year I see my brother. I will easily skip the Barbeque invite from the Humpty-Dumpty folks next door, and cannot stomach attending Sunday Liturgy with rapist supporters...it will save me some stewardship money, but all that is easy!

Those are personal, individual choices I can make. I control who I let in my life...easy-peasy.

The individual things are simple. It's what needs to be done collectively that is hard.

I can cancel my Amazon Prime membership with a click, but unless 10's of millions join me, what's the point?

I drive the extra two mile to shop at Lowes, despite Home Depot being right down the street, but unless 10's of millions join me, it's worthless.

I NEVER shop at Kroger, even if the eggs are 10 cents cheaper. Kroger doesn't care about my individual act.

I wouldn't buy a Tesla if you put a gun to my head and gave it to me free.

AM radio stations have been broadcasting nothing but Reich-wing hate for 40 years. From Machias, ME to San Diego, CA, from Everett, WA to Key West, FL., EVERY AM Radio Station in this country has broadcasted nothing but violent Nazi propaganda 24/7/365.

I can do my best to track the advertisers on my local stations, and make sure I shop elsewhere, but without collective action....

I have said this before, but it really is pretty simple to understand.

"Nothing will change. The racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...NONE OF IT will change, unless and until we make racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy UNPROFITABLE to the businesses, corporations and individuals that fund and enable it."

Cutting MAGAts out of my life is easy, but it isn't enough.
