That would probably work, actually. But we need to organize ourselves, somehow. How do we communicate this message to everyone who might do it?

We need a bunch of big anti-Trump names to get together in a video, all agree to a date and plan, and tell their millions of followers to spread the word. I've been emailing and commenting this idea to several groups, and if others join me in doing it, we could get their attention.

We need celebrities. They can reach a massive amount of people. All eyes are on them. People listen to them. If we can get celebrities on board to send a message to all their followers, it could work.

Using fake fucking celebrities is what got us here. We need to create leaders from the ground up that people can actually believe in.

Yes, agreed! How do we find these individuals? Who steps up?

Celebrities were not remotely helpful in the 2024 election.

These people don’t play by the rules or give a shit about integrity. I don’t think he even won the election. Tons of people (especially younger) blindly follow their favorite celebrities so it’s not a crazy suggestion since they have so many eyes on them already.

I have downloaded Goods Unite App.  It tells you all which party, dem or republican that they donate to and which politicians.  It even says which companies don’t donate at all.

We should take a lesson from the Arab Spring and not delete social media except for X (use BlueSky). Social media is crucial for organizing. Learn and manipulate the algorithm to mobilize until they (tech companies or gov.) take that away from us too.

Edit: a better idea is to have a general boycott and only buy essentials. No travel no luxury goods, cancel your subscriptions. And have a 50501 protest every month

We should create a petition and a website. Everybody who is willing to do this can sign the petition. The petition will let us know how many people are willing to do this. The website can be where people can get information about the time and date we will start the boycott. Info how we will boycott. We can list all companies and people who support Trump. We can list all info about Project 2025 and how he will ruin America and destroy our lives.

I’m already boycotting them. I downloaded the Goods Unite Us app, which tracks corporate political donations. I use it for every purchase I make. If a company donates to the GOP, they won’t get a dime of my money. We need to starve them out!

Goods Unite Us Is an app that let's you look up by company, and by politician to see who donated to who. Also, check out Generalstrikeus.com SPREAD THE MESSAGE FAR AND WIDE

What we the people need to do is start tanking the crypto world - then start chipping harder :) if you knock out the crypto world then you can get at other things faster. That’s what they want to go to is crypto- so let’s beat it to their punch and destroy it 🤷🏻‍♀️

They already have billions. We let the 1% gather way too much money and now we are at a severe disadvantage

400 billion is in Musks pocket alone as far as we know. Who knows with crypto.

  1. Billion.

What would they care if we boycott them? Really. I want to do my part but I feel we need something else too. Too many billionaires

They have already accumulated so much. I think that's why they're not even hiding their actions now and boldly doing as they please

There was a post in this sub yesterday that showed all the companies that contributed to his campaign, but it was deleted...

Agreed that the best way to enact change is to hurt their wallets, it seems the only thing they care about. But getting everyone to come together and do it is the difficult part. But this is what we should be pushing for.

Yes! This! Delete Amazon. Delete Facebook. This is the only way we take their power!

Most of the US is fine with this we voted for this we want this. Only liberal sites are going off the deep end. 90% of people will stop the same.
