4. Agree, especially if we couple protests to our own version of "sanctions."

If every Democrat and most Independents simply shut off the TV during the Super Bowl, ratings-obsessed Trump would notice that. He would take it personally because he'll be interviewed live during the Super Bowl.

Other suggestions, strategic, rolling boycotts. Not spending our disposable income so casually. And of course not watching the State of the Union address.

Bottom line: since the politicians no longer fear the people, the only recourse we have is economic damage.

I'll bet there are some great ideas floating around out there. This weekend I'll look around and see if anyone is organizing anything.
