If you want to protest there are legal financial ways to do it.

1. If have not already done so, max out your 401K. It is completely legal and defers taxes to a later date. That legally cuts government revenue. You may also need the money later if they cut SS or Medicare.

2. Defer any LARGE TICKET purchases as long as possible. Especially Chinese crap. Make it felt internationally. Basically, if you don't need it, don't buy it. If you can repair it, do it rather than replace it. Think WW2 rationing! A Democrat in 2021 will need the burst of spending anyway.

3. What money you do spend, direct it to companies that support progressive and environmentally friendly policies.
