and use the pressure to get Trump out.
The numbers are impressive, but they're not getting the attention of either Trump or the GOP. So how are they turned in such a way as to open eyes and cause some Republicans genuine fear of losing their job?

(5,314 posts)I don't think any of this stops until somebody hurts the Epstein Class Billionaires. They dismiss protests, and boycotts barley put a dent in their fortunes. Boycotts may affect smaller investors, and employees, but not the main players driving the crisis we are in.
My hope is that when other countries start getting more angry and afraid, they will find ways to freeze the bank accounts, and businesses of the billionaires overseas, until they agree to oust this current administration by pressuring their flunkies in the House and the Senate to impeach tsf or have someone invoke the 25 amendment on tsf.

(2,290 posts)A boycott needs to be focused and sustained, something that many can support and continue. Then get numerous groups like Indivisible (and many many others) to all announce and help organize and promote. The Montgomery bus boycott lasted more than a year.
I suppose there is not a good way to boycott Republicans, although numerous special elections are breaking for Dems, which is similar to a Republican boycott.
"Boycott Republicans" has a nice ring to it. And it might get their attention.
Boycott Republicans !
