2. History has shown that BDS movements have very little effect on governments.

The BDS movement protesting Israel’s settlements in the West Bank have had zero effect. There are mixed reviews of whether the boycotts, disinvestments, and sanctions had mired than a minimal impact on the South African system of apartheid. Sanctions on Russia have hurt its economy but have done nothing to stop Putin’s vicious attack or change Russia’s government.

When I gave time, I’ll see what I can find about the direct causes of South Africa’s end of apartheid. It might be informative for a direction to end Trump’s hold on our electorate.
