7. Shut the spending down. We have yet to put our full weight and effort behind spending boycotts.

Consumer dollars are one of our best weapons. Votes only work every 2-4 years. Consumer dollars hold power and leverage 24/7-365.
Wages and benefits trickle down. Consumer dollars flow up. Control the flow. Control their profits. Stop giving the fascist mob your money. Make MAGA float the economy.

If 10 million people cut an extra $25.00 a week from their spending that would be $2.5 Billion not in the fascist economy.
$25.00 is a week of Starbucks on the way to work.

All it takes is participation.
