There have been several diaries that have response ideas in case Trump dumps Mueller. I have an off-the-wall response suggestion — Our entire economy is based on a consumer society. Instead of (or in addition to) a general work strike which is difficult to effectively implement across the nation, how about a nationwide consumer strike? If Trump dumps Mueller, in addition to the marches, everyone who believes that trump and Republicans are destroying the nation agrees to stop purchasing anything except food. No autos, no phones, no amazon, no pots, no pans, no movies, no popcorn, no sodas, no sweaters, no skirts, no pants, no shirts, no starbucks -- purchase absolutely nothing but food. If you have a contract-less cable TV network, dump-em and let them know why. Also, given the market is near an all-time high, if you’re fortunate enough to own stocks, sell out and take advantage of the market top.
Although marches and public protests will be more camera worthy, if this goes viral with an appropriate hashtags and other public statements in support of the movement, we could bring the nation economically to its knees — I believe something this drastic is required to right a sinking ship. Recall when Bush was begging folks to buy stuff after 9/11? (Or was it after the 2008 crash?) That lack of purchasing caused leadership worry and it wasn’t a concerted effort. Imagine a concerted effort to control behavior of illegitimate government behavior by the strength of our purse strings? #dumptrumpeconomy #dontbuytrump
