The private sector might be doing more than congress ever could

[unblock]

Sure, Donnie clearly crossed a line with the whole insurrection thing, but crossing lines never seemed to bother many of these companies before.

And it's no small coincidence that so many changes in policies come just as democrats gain control of congress.

But it's certainly nice to read story after story about Donnie et al. losing access to social media accounts and people refusing to do business with these traitors. Qanon propagators being shut down, etc.


In many ways, this hurts them more than impeachment ever could. Treating the right wing as the toxic fringe is exactly what we need to do.

1. I like hearing the sound of wallets closing up

GOP don't listen to people. They only listen to money.

2. Most of all, I want Donnie's name and brand ruined for all time.

I want the Trump name to be reviled worldwide. I want him and his sleazebag family shunned.

6. That will be nice, but what I really want is for the *republican* brand to be seen as toxic

3. Right, if we had not won the senate would they be speaking out?

I don't believe much in coincidences.

4. Hitting them in the wallet

All they care about.

5. Cult deprogramming needed. Use media

7. I imagine it was a domino effect.

I'd be willing to bet these companies that are shutting the republicans down were faced with a loss of revenue by losing advertising revenue in the case of the social media companies and by losing clients in the case of corporate donors to republican PACs. As always, follow the money.

8. People all over the world

Join hands
Get off the Trump train, Trump train
People all over the world (all the world, now)
Join hands
Get off the Trump train, Trump train

The next stop that we make will be England
Tell all the folks in Russia, and China, too
Don't you know that it's time to step off board
And let this train keep on riding, riding on through ... to Palm Beach? Or maybe Prison?

9. Facism requires the cooperation of corporations. Maybe ceo don't want to live in a country filled

with corruption and human rights abuses. Will affect their bottom line as they are american identifyed all around the world and their could be boycotts. Maybe they will rethink destroying the middle class. Graft, drugs, terrorism and kidnappings are then the only way to make enough to buy a car or a tv, if you are anyway inclined to be aggressive, when you destroy the middle class. That's not a fun place to live for rich people. Or anybody else.

10. They'll change their minds again if a Republican wins in 2024

But for now, we'll take what we can get....

11. The snowball is rolling down the hill, gaining size and momentum,

and is aimed squarely at all things tRump.

Lost in the last five days to tRump and family:
Twitter, et al, shutting him down
PGA Championship stripped from his club
At least two banks calling in loans and refusing to do further business with him
Loss of major corporate donations
Loss of NYC entertainment venues which they serviced

There will be more, day after day. It'll reach the point where he'll wish he had invested his $400K annual salary to have a couple of million bucks put aside. The man is ruined, and he knows it. If he doesn't wind up in jail, he will spend the rest of his days tied up in court with ever more costly attorneys as the only ones willing to take him on as a client.

SPLAT!!!
