Consumer boycotts are the key. Just buy less.

[Yavin4]

Consumption is 70% of our GDP. If Americans just buy less stuff, the economy will decline which will put pressure on Trump and the Republican party.

For most of us, buying less will be just another day. Well, buy even less than that. Food and essentials only. No new phones. Cancel streaming services. No new clothes. No new cars. No going out. No restaurants. No expensive vacations. Nothing.

1. Bought a new phone and car last year

Don't go on vacations unless we can take our three dogs. I did eat at White Castle last week, but since I had a tooth extracted today, not going put to eat for a while.

I did tell our local Girl Scouts that I won't be buying any cookies this year.

2. I had already decided to do this

We're buying only necessities. Food and drugs primarily. Vet bills for the furkids. Insurance & utilities.

3. one suspects boycotts are effective when the person being boycotted has been told why.

[OrlandoDem2]

5. Americans and the world must boycott the USA. Stop buying. Kill the economy!

I agree with the OP. Stop spending money!!

No American cars. Buy foreign. No American fashion. No American vacations. Nothing!

You’re also not wrong. But killing the American economy by closing our wallets is a good place to start.

I’m doing my part by buying less!

14. How many little people will be hurt in the killing of the American economy?

Are you OK with that? Sounds like it.

[OrlandoDem2]

15. I'm a teacher. My job depends on sales tax revenue. I'm prepared for the consequences.

It’s the only way to wake people up.

[Torchlight]

11. Another one suspects the conversation begins somewhere.

4. I axed $140 a month just out of internet and phone service.

Nearly all discretionary is gone.

[OrlandoDem2]

6. Way to go!!

[roamer65]

7. Next up is what little debt I have remaining.

Time to kill some bank profits.

[Norbert]

8. Pay off Bills

I plan to be free of car payments by Summer's end.

9. Returning to my "Bible of Thrift":

10. If possible, don't "save" the money you don't spend.

Send it instead to organizations that are assisting people who are being harmed by this maladministration, and to groups that are resisting this maladministration.

This might include food banks, groups supporting LGBT youth, conservation groups, etc..

12. When you are poor, trying to survive on SS, buying less is just what you do all the time.

Only the fortunate have the option of buying less. Count yourself lucky if you have that choice.

[Prairie Gates]

13. Yes, make it a practice, cultivate the habit

Sometimes you have to be deliberate: yes, it's easier to run to Target or just go to Amazon, but what are the alternatives. Think. Wait. Explore other options. They're out there. Dumb Google Chrome. Use new systems. Change your habits.

[Hotler]

16. One million Dems & Libs cutting out $25.00 a week is $100 million a month, $1.2 Billion a year.

That is not chump change.
$25.0 is a weeks worth of Starbucks on the way to work for some. Make your own coffee and bingo, spending cut back achieved.
P.S. I know you still have to buy coffee but, it cost less at home.
