There's no way this had any affect. I like the sentiment but it won't work.

Why tf do I keep seeing posts about boycotts and protests the day they're happening
Because unfortunately the point of these protests isn't achieving change, it's patting themselves on the back for their "positive action" (despite how conveniently non-intrusive said action is their lives and how it requires absolutely zero risk or material sacrifice).
Since the point is to self-congratulate, no reason to wait, I guess.
No Restaurants? What? We're afraid the authentic turkish food place down the block is colluding with Trump, now? Idiocy.
I found out about this yesterday. I don’t know what happened to the messaging, but lucky i saw it in time on blue sky.
What everyone need to do is target all their stock and funds of a particular company…. And sell that shit. Short it. Buy their competitor’s stock.
There are some very intelligent people in the stock market, who don't care about this cause. They will happily buy the stock you're dumping.
As for the shorting, Game Stop was shorted more than the value of the company. Do you know how that ended?
We need PERMANENT boycotts. DON’T GO BACK!! Abandoned them and leave them to rot.
Follow what I see every Canadian is doing in the grocery store. Look up the brand and if it’s American put it back and add to the permanent no buy list.
As an American I use Goods Unite Us to look up political contributions before buying
Shit, I wasn't on here. Tell you what, make another Devil's Panties Blackout in six months. We encourage people to stock up on canned foods that can be eaten later, and bathroom items, soaps, whatever. Friend groups are established for the blackout just in case somebody loses something. It might last more than a week, maybe even a month. We should post this in streamers' chats to encourage people to spread the word; this will be on fun streams where it will not be intrusive. Make sure to target people who can remember to do things, or use it as an opportunity to help people to remember schedules. People will stay with each other to get along.
The comic has nothing to do with it outside of supporting it in todays comic. Here is a better reference for the actions https://moist.catsweat.com/m/Resist@fedia.io/t/880512/Upcoming-US-Protests
I'm sure this one day boycott will be just as effective as the others were.
If you want results you need to put in time and have a target. Conservatives didn't boycott beer, they boycotted Bud Light. They didn't do it for a day, they did it until Bud Light gave up. Say what you will about the "why" of it, but it was effective.
Forgot about this, but luckily I never really buy shit other than food.
First I've seen extending this to restaurants. That seems a bit much. Most restaurants around me are small businesses. Not cool for the folks trying to keep a single place afloat.
I think it means more applebees and tgif and chilis and such
And if you go to a locally owned restaurant, pay with cash. Fuck visa/mc/banks and their merchant fees.
