What small contribution can we do to hurt oligarchy and Trump

[kansasobama]

As a citizen in red Kansas, I am limited in what I can do. Generally. I tend to write/focus on senators and Congressmen outside my state to get anything, if at all.

Myself and my wife have decided to do our best to not support the Tech Bros and MAGA oligarchy. We fully know that there are limitations. I may be supporting MAGA without even my knowledge. Are my retirement funds invested in MAGA companies? So, the first thing we noticed is, we have to do away with Amazon Prime membership. Yes. I will miss a few movies and football but, maybe, I can just pay for a few games. Will see. We are exploring ditching Walmart and going for Target. I hope more experienced DUers, who are up with this, to advice what we can avoid. I know I cannot influence much but I want to do my best.

2. History has shown that BDS movements have very little effect on governments.

The BDS movement protesting Israel’s settlements in the West Bank have had zero effect. There are mixed reviews of whether the boycotts, disinvestments, and sanctions had mired than a minimal impact on the South African system of apartheid. Sanctions on Russia have hurt its economy but have done nothing to stop Putin’s vicious attack or change Russia’s government.

When I gave time, I’ll see what I can find about the direct causes of South Africa’s end of apartheid. It might be informative for a direction to end Trump’s hold on our electorate.

3. I recommend relentless and merciless ridicule. They are clowns.

I don’t know exactly what else we can do about it. But don’t accept their antics as serious.

Yes. I do that side by side. In fact. that is the only reason I am still on twitter but I do not try to click anything there
