80. Agree about the "power of shunning and the purse"

Wed Nov 13, 2024, 12:39 PM

Nov 13

I am going to wait until January to really kick in the boycotting/cutting back so that it doesn't start slowing the economy too much while Biden is still in office and blame him(again). Of course they will try to blame him for everything bad that happens anyway. In the meantime, I am buying as much as possible from pro-progressive retailers (progressiveshopper.com) and small businesses. I already excommunicated an uncle and aunt and their families after the first tRUMP admin when I found out they were supporters (good, holy Cathlolics-right!). Fortunately, the rest of my family are all sane liberals.
Let's all push hard with our boycotts!
