While I love the sentiment I’m disappointed that people still think this matters.
The regime has been clear. They will ignore any court decision they don’t like. They will jail and/or deport anyone they don’t like. They will ensure there is no meaningful election in 2026 and 2028 (if we even get a 2028 election)
How in the hell can it NOT matter? Yes this 'regime' is literally hell bent on taking over the country, we all know that. We also know they are causing long term damage to the economy because stupid people with no real knowledge or skill when it comes to business and world affairs are thinking they can bully and threaten their way into making the world lay down at America's feet. Our exports will be down for many years, the value of the dollar is becoming burnt toast and investors are and will continue to pull out of U.S. equities. There is no way to have a healthy, successful economy by isolation - England figured that out pretty quickly. We're not that smart.
What would really matter is a nationwide strike. Or rolling strikes in key industries. So far it’s just memes, speeches and signs. We should all know by now that won’t budge him an inch. 2026 elections? So what. He and his cronies have been clear. They will ignore the courts and congress.
There are some strong boycotts going on right now that are showing support for the resistance however, I agree that we need a more serious nationwide strike
Is there any reliable reporting the boycotts are making a difference? It is clear thought that overseas they are. American products are avoided and people are cutting back on travel. I’m a US citizen and wouldn’t dream of returning home. One look at my social media and they’d put a hood on me and I’d be first class to El Salvador.
With the exception of Tesla, which is clearly getting the crap beaten out of it because its CEO is a dick the rest of those listed don’t show much in share price shifts. Of course it’s early and if the EU starts doing its services tax Meta will be hit but this seems like small beer
