No, a collapsing economy will not bring down MAGA. The opposite may be true.

And, no, you should not be hoping for that. Millions would suffer.

And, no, a "non-necessity purchase embargo" is not a good idea. it is already the reality for millions of people who have no discretionary income.

And, no, we can't take our power back by exerting it through our choices. You can't shop your way to social justice.
