We will shop for food at the farmer's market and stores whose policies align with our values.

Time to to also spend less time in front of screens anyway, and more time in nature. Our money will be mostly directed towards international travel.

Clearly, the only thing that really matter is money and I intend to use it accordingly.


Lots of farmers voted for Trump. Are you going to ask them before you buy their kale? What is your litmus test for small business owners? What small companies that align with your values offer international travel?


There won't be any to pick their kale. So it's not like we're even going to be able to buy it. These farmers who voted for Trump get what they get.


So it’s only illegals who pick the crops? Is that all they’re qualified to do? My god, so racist.

I don’t protest because I don’t care. People knew he was a criminal, a crook and a liar, and they elected him. Let them have it. He will fk things up like he did last time, and I will laugh.

People are not protesting because a lot of Harris voters agree with Trump on some issue. #1 trans then #2 racial quotas and preferences, DEI in general 3) crime and immigration - there is a lot of variation here in what people are supporting but it all leans Trump more than Biden/Harris.

Polling is showing this and it's going to get even higher because people more free to express their views on these issues. Some people I follow on Twitter who were once only very gingerly expressing opposition to trans policies and seemed very much repelled by Trump have suddenly turned MAGA firebrands on a number of issues (but they still express dislike for Trump).

Blue voter here! And I’m taking a page from Melanie—“I don’t really care, do you?” My prescription drug cost will rise an extra $1500 a year. While I’m not thrilled, I can still afford it. My Trump voting cousin on the same medicine I’m on who makes $48k will struggle. Oh well! Find a way, cousin!

You know what Op, I cannot believe you voted for that moron, Harris! I hope he wipes all the leftist thinking out of this country. Move yourself to Europe and eat it up.

Oh, but you loved Silicon valley when they were censoring, shadow banning, banning accounts and killing off speech for your cause. But you can't see it, can you?



OMG YES!!!!! YES YES YES!!!!!!

You LOVED big tech and big social media back then, when it was suppressing the people you didn’t like.

But NOW, now it’s a problem.


Ick. Just go away, Dems. Go away.

What's the point of protesting, what will that accomplish? Nothing I am thinking.

It will be far more effective to just sit back, relax, and let him wreck the US economy and the stock market. Let the people who voted for him suffer. Higher food prices, higher drug prices, higher prices overall on goods, gutting of social net programs and etc. Maybe once the people who voted for him suffer, they will realize they made a mistake (or maybe not, since they were stupid enough to vote for him for a second term).

Exactly, the faster he burns it all down the faster we can rebuild a sane Democratic government. I just hope that can get it done before dies.

I have my farmers that I know. I also grow my own produce.

I didn't say I will spend travel money on small companies. I said I will be spending them abroad. That means international airlines if the domestic ones are kissing orange ass too. Not that hard.

For small businesses, maga is quite easy to spot because they can't stfu up. It took me two minutes to figure out where the car repair place I was going to stands because they had some fliers.

I also check the public donation record for the 2024 election.

Not that pp, but nope, my meds are fine. If the racists and facists want to shut down most medical research, have few farm workers, and let bird flu go wild, just do and burn everything down as fast as possible. You will get no resistance from me this time. The faster Trump burns everything down and stops making money, the faster this will all.be over.

Really? You’re going to dig in and research everything you buy and do to make sure they live in your bubble too? What about the apple device you’re using to post here? You do know the CEO was at the inauguration.

And how do you plan on traveling overseas? How exactly are you planning on getting there? You will have to use Big Airline, and I’m sure none of the airlines fully align with these “values” of yours


Yep, absolutely I am going to dig in. I already paid for the Apple device. Unlike maga, I am not stupid to destroy things I already paid for.

Big airlines can be international, bud. Delta is already on the shit list for their bootlicking. Plenty of other options out there.

And finally, I get to spend my money as I see fit, and my money is not going to support maga as much as I can help it. Stay mad, and keep waiting for that trickle down from the broligarchs.
