Leftists Planning to Tank Trump’s Economy By Not Buying Anything During His Second Term

By now, you’ve heard leftists saying they’re going to leave the U.S. because Trump was elected President.

You’ve seen women shaving their heads and swearing off men for the next 4 years.

And now, we have the latest genius idea from the left to protest President Trump’s victory: an attempt to sabotage the economy by straight-up boycotting it.

Some liberals are now saying that they are are not going to buy anything as long as President Trump is in office and encouraging others to do so.

Many plan to stockpile goods before Inauguration Day.

Here are some of the angry leftists who claim on X to be taking part in the scheme:

Trump will not have a good economy because we don’t have to let him. I myself plan on paying my bills and saving every penny beyond that. I will not contribute to this economy in any other way.

I will buy some clothes before he takes office and make sure I have everything I need…

Over the next four years, I highly suggest folks tighten their belts and spend as little as possible, except for the essentials like food, utilities, rent, etc.

After riding the coattails of President Biden's AMAZING economy for his first six months in office, trump is going to…

Breitbart reported:

Leftists across the country are still reeling from Trump’s historic comeback victory, which saw him sweeping all seven swing states, garnering 312 electoral votes and also winning the popular vote after making historic gains in traditionally blue areas.

There was a sizable shift in the electorate and a clear mandate for change, but some leftists ardently disagree and have a plan to tank what everyone anticipates to be a strong economy under Trump’s leadership.

“Trump will not have a good economy because we don’t have to let him. I myself plan on paying my bills and saving every penny beyond that. I will not contribute to this economy in any other way,” one leftist X account with the handle @PrezLives2022 said to 127.1K followers, previewing plans to strategically purchase clothing “before he takes office and make sure I have everything I need for the next four years.”

This individual is also pledging to refrain from eating out “unless it is an emergency that cannot be avoided.” Further, there will be no going to the movies, sporting events, “or any local attractions.”

“New furniture or household goods will wait until 2028. I’m going to install a few other search bars and avoid Google as much as possible. I will not buy a new car before 2028. I will do everything in my power to hold on to as many dollars as possible,” they continued, making it clear that they “do not care about the consequences of a poor economy.”

Of course, more sane folks are pointing out how stupid this idea is:

You are suggesting sinking the economy to make him look bad? Crazy. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Utter madness.

Yeah great plan try to sink the economy. You guys are fucking retarded.

It sounds like you are pushing for the 2020 playbook. Shut down the economy, cause misery for all, just to make it look like his policies don’t actually work.

The very fact that you are posting this means you are confident his policies will unleash sizable economic growth.

And yet, leftists are just doubling down.

Here are their responses:

Clearly English is not your first language, botski, so I'll re-type it more slowly:

trump is going to destroy the economy with his POLICIES, which will cause things to be 300% more expensive.

Saving money will be necessary for people to survive, dumbass.

— BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ (@mmpadellan) November 17, 2024

trump's tariff plan will sink the economy. My suggestion will just help folks to survive his moronic decision making.

And sure, we're not going to help prop up his economy by buying shit that's 300 to 400% more expensive. Are you stupid?

— BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ (@mmpadellan) November 17, 2024

Actually not at all…I know his policies will fail so I just want to bring failure on much more quickly

Let’s see how long this lasts when they realize this means they can’t get their morning Starbucks or new iPhones…
