Boycott Black Friday. [View all]

Declare it a Trump merchandising tool, like "60 Minutes" and Melanoma's whorish wrist. If retailers lose 50+% of their Black Friday sales they will know we mean business and aren't accepting "normalization" of this fascist who lost the popular vote.

I, for one, am in no mood to be thankful or cheery in this shit year of 2016.
