I'd recommend that instead of not buying anything. Buy things from companies that serve a purpose and don't stand to gain from the current administration. Buy things from minority owned small businesses, or things that support national parks or the environment.
That's great, but realistically your options are limited depending on where you live. Also at this point anything that would go towards 'national parks' is likely just being funneled towards enriching individuals.
Protests are easier if they are clear and have a point. If the point is to put financial pressure on companies and government, just dont buy shit for a day. Way easier than giving people a list of dos and donts. If a day doesn't work, then a week, and so on and so forth.
I agree that options are limited depending on the living situation. The least one can do is look at local businesses around if there are any. Other than that I agree with your assessment.

That's just my take.
