Corporate and wealthy donors will be targeted if they continue supporting the GOP

Voting to not convict . This is going to backfire on them if they refuse to hold him fully accountable, and don't stop this criminal from running again. This is their chance to break up with trump's domestic terrorist groups, while they have a chance, or he'll just drag them down even further into corruption, and criminal activities. The voice from the American people will be heard against these Senators voting to protect him from being convicted.

1. I'll believe it when I see it

there's a reason it's called the Greedy Old Pig party

2. This is critical,

We need to publicize what corporations and what people are funding the traitors, all the traitors care about is staying in power and money. The donors need to be targeted, need to be shamed.

3. Boycotts Aren't As Effective

as stock ownership. If more people invested in the stock market (for their retirement et cetera) and actually voted their proxy, we could collectively hold the liars accountable.

All the right-wing talk radio/faux news types are answerable to their corporate boards and stock holders. These folks love their paychecks more than their fan base. The sad part is the listeners actually think these talking heads care about them. IMO that's the central message we should be playing right now. Hey Trump supporters who stormed Congress, how you like that your glorious leader is socked away in his palatial Florida palace while you are looking at hard time, court expenses and future employment hardships?

4. This lot don't need to be dragged into deeper corruption

and criminal activities.

They'll lead the way.

They need to be brought to justice for past offenses and prevented from perpetrating further ones.

5. Corporations and the wealthy can hide their donations in PACs.

If we can’t overturn Citizens United, then we need laws forcing the disclosure of the names behind the donations. Then we need media that will actually publish these names rather than every individual try to find them.

6. I have to disagree. A small ripple perhaps but the GOPQ and corporate are as one

and cannot be torn apart by anything as simple as an insurrection,

7. Who do you think has been telling them to stay the course behind Trump?

However horrible Trump is they bought him and the GOP. The majority of them have never wavered so far. Why would they now? Like Trump they believe they own the right to do whatever is good for them, no matter the cost to the nation or any one person. The world exists to serve them, especially those politicians whom they have paid for.

Financial backlash in the form of publicity and boycotting their product does have impact, though the effects are mixed in terms of specific results. The Tobacco companies changed their names and essentially went underground. Oil companies have changed their public image by "greenwashing" advertising.

Getting at Mercer, Koch, Murdoch et al, is harder than it may look. They are enormous, diverse, and some of their product is quite ubiquitous. Try buying paper towels or toilet paper that did not come from Koch industries or some of the medicine or fertilizer that Baer didn't produce or license.
