Showing Original Post only (View all)Blue25. A spending boycott. Rep. John Lewis, "get in good trouble." [View all]
If they're coming for our S.S. to in flick pain, we can do the same. they can't force you to spend money.
Before people dog pile on me saying it will hurt to many people, let me say we ALL are going to feel the pain any way, might as well fight back.
Our votes and consumer dollars are our weapons. Votes can only be used every 2-4 years, consumer dollars (our most powerful weapon) can be used 24/7-365. If the repugs can get big results with a Bud Light and Harley Davidson boycott, we can get big results too.
74, 485,127 Dems & Libs voted in the last election. If we could cut $25.00± a week from our spending, times 4-weeks a month, times 12-months, that's a big ass chunk of change not going into the pocket of the orange economy. They will notice that and start to whine.
Pros.
1.) Much more effective than an in the street protest, they can't take your picture, arrest/detain you or shoot you.
2.) Spending boycott can be done from the comfort and safety of home.
3.) If you're not spending, you're saving. Put the money you don't spend away for emergency.
4.) If they want to offset our lack of spending they will have to spend $25.00 more of their money to make up for it. Make the fascist voters shoulder the burden of their orange economy. It's their hate that is bringing it to us.
This is easy and doable. And every time they whine we raise the amount up $5.00. Make them whine more.
(74, 485,127 voters)($25.00)= $1,862,128,175 per week., $7,448,512,700 per month. This is just an example, not everyone can cut $25.00 a week, I'm thinking most can cut $10.00-$15.00.
I want to call the boycott Blue25. Let's try and keep this strategy to ourselves (dems & Libs ) only.
Thanks for listening.
