Refusing to concede and trying to overturn the election result isn’t just limited to Donald Trump anymore. This past week makes clear it’s now the playbook for every right-wing politician who loses an election.

    The only power people have is through their collective participation in the financial system. If everyone organized and just withheld all or most of their money from the system … then you’d get government to listen.

    But trying to organize a ragtag mass of millions of people that can’t agree on the simplest things is like trying to suck water through a rock.

    One of the best ideas I’ve ever heard is to organize everyone to just boycott one single company … any company … like Best Buy or Target … just one company and everyone participate and just run the company into the ground, everyone just ostracize and completely ignore it until it loses everything … everyone could keep going about their business, except do it anywhere else but that one company … it wouldn’t affect people much because there are plenty of stores out there. Do this for a few months and that one company would completely go under. Once everyone completely destroys one company, then move on to the next and keep hounding companies like this one by one. Do it for grocers, for electronics stores, for phone companies, for internet companies, for department stores, for banks, for gas stations … just keep dropping them one by one. Then you’d get these companies … and by extension the government … to listen to the people.

    No one cares about your voice, your concerns or your beliefs … but they do care about your money and where it goes or where it stays … that’s where your political control lies.
