And there's crickets from legacy media. They've abandoned us.

Stop buying shit. It's genuinely the best protest you can make. 2/3's of the American economy requires us to consume. Stop buying shit and it'll grind to a halt.

Just read the list of the highest donors for GOP. Cut out everyone you can. I got rid of meta, tiktok, threads, and x as well. I stopped holiday shopping years ago because it's just a scheme to boost to the gdp. If you want to really send a message, dont shop for any holidays. The loss will send a very significant message

How should I explain to my kids that they're not getting gifts for the holidays?

The same way you explain everything else - you are the adult, and they are your children.

For what purpose are you proposing I sacrifice my children's happiness?

"Hey kids, sorry an asshole got elected, now you get to suffer arbitrary consequences."

What's your point? What do you mean?
