Economic boycotts are simple and doable. We need to set up the longest feasible time to simply STOP SPENDING MONEY on anything. Big box stores close the day—many days in a row—with sales down 80% (have to allow for MAGAts continuing to spend). That could really hurt. Buy necessary things at Democrat-owned small businesses. That sort of thing.
