Except for essentials, I will not be buying ANY American products. F**k this country, and the billionaire nazis who

are destroying our democracy.

Where are the mass protests, sit ins, marches on Washington, congress who are having their powers usurped, etc.?

What is occurring is a Constitutional Crisis. This is a f**king Civil War against the American people, and where are the leaders?

Essentials only.

If the corporations start seeing their profits drop, they'll join the ranks against the fascists.

Of course we need to buy essentials, but every purchase will be a lot more considered. Where possible, no more subsidizing red states or Republican-led companies. No hiring magats for sure. Fuck em all.

Already practicing this, have been since November. I didn't even bother with the holiday gift events last year.

Nothing but essentials, period.

And stop paying on credit cards, home loans and car loans.

We could bring these oligarchs to their knees!
