Putting Trump and MAGA out of business on DAY ONE [View all]

NO AMAZON MONDAYS starting with Inauguration Day, with a warm up on January 6, 2025 for practice. We don't need to act like violent imbeciles to make a mark. Consumer buyer actions that can impede sales include: price comparison shopping excessively, delaying purchases due to uncertainty, returning items frequently without reason, leaving online carts abandoned, opting for cheaper alternatives, providing negative reviews, actively discouraging others from buying a product, utilizing loyalty programs solely for deals, and not engaging with sales promotions or marketing efforts; essentially, any behavior that indicates hesitation, dissatisfaction, or a lack of commitment to buying a product or service.
If the Washington Post does not want to endorse our favorite candidate there are other things we can do besides cancelling the subscription. It is time to be our creative selves. There are 75,000,000 of us and I think we are a lot brighter than the MAGAs. In Canada, they are setting up "war rooms" to oppose the MAGA types. I am certain that we have creative , inventive minds amongst out voters that can find ways to make a mark.
I am still inspired by Jesse Jackson's Operation Breadbasket. The neat thing today is that we can do this overnight. It took Jackson and MLK over a year to get it going and be effective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Breadbasket
