    If every person in the USA boycotted Amazon, Netflix, Microsoft, Dell, Tesla, Farcebook, etc, I doubt that would put much of a dent in their revenue.
    World Population of: 8,246,560,000 is 24.372 times the population of the USA (338,352,230)

    You'd be surprised just how LITTLE these companies actually make that can be affected by public boycotts. I'm sure other English speaking countries might join the boycott tho.

    Some companies like Amazon, Tesla, MST make tons from other sources like services, so a temporary boycott isn't gonna work on the big boys. A permanent one, where their reputation is ruined, like Tesla, can have long lasting image problems.

    There are unhappy people all over the world who are being squeezed financially by the Corps. They're already protesting in Europe, Latin America, Africa. US media purposely ignores what happens elsewhere to prevent the same here.

    Countries around the world are all getting more repressive, with few exceptions. Surveillance is a big priority now, so watch what you post.

    See that's their hypocrisy. They want to silence voices like us now. Cancel, harass, sue, incarcerate. The camps are just about ready. You've seen the drill on the news. Arrest, imprison, then?

    Charlie Kirk was a big proponent of Free Speech which is admirable if I must admit. Of course, he missed the lessons of Free Speech, which like any freedom has limits.

    If it hurts ANYONE, the speech is over the line.

    That doesn't mean a bad word offended someone's sensibility. It means the coordinated assault on personal rights and scapegoating by the right in this case. And endless lies repeated by so many with media platforms doesn't keep people safe.

    I don't understand why people don't get that. We are so far over the line now in public discourse it's become normalized.

    Do what you can to show your support for preserving democracy, by doing what some folks have already mentioned in the thread, which is making a strong presence at the polls and vote, and protest - make your voices heard, but do it peacefully. In addition to those things, stay informed. It’s amazing to see and hear how clueless people are to WTF is REALLY going on, and to find out that folks are having “buyer’s remorse” for who they voted for. Pity. But most importantly, stand up for what you believe in when confronted by these folks that think that it’s better to have a dictatorship, and don’t be intimidated by their actions. No fear! Quite disgusting to hear republicans in congress and in the senate that they fear for their lives and that they are being threatened by MAGA. They’re in a leadership position and need to step down if they’re scared for their lives - they can’t continue to support the people that elected them to be in those positions! Now is not the time to be a coward!!

    When Trump runs out of defenceless people to con and swindle, his mind may move to the greedy parasitic corporations.
    They will obviously try to take him down, but with a bit of luck the whole lot will go down together.
    Then America really will become great again, once China is out of the way.

    Their will be no suffering from shortage of goods, once balanced trade is sorted out with India. That has worked between India and the UK, since the year 1600.
