Invest, Finance, Politics: Two steps to fight back against American fascism

The USA is no longer recognizable as the world’s oldest democracy. We have or about to transition to fascism. Many are confused, unsure, and losing hope. Here are some simple steps you can take to fight back against American fascism. The key is never to submit in advance.

Dem lawmaker makes ‘admission to MAGA’ about ‘immigrants taking our jobs’

First, a slight diversion.

“There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs… his name is Elon Musk,” the lawmaker wrote. “He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals), & those that are keeping us safe (FAA), meals on wheels workers, head start, and the list goes on, so I’ll be the bigger person and admit to MAGA that I was wrong when I said immigrants wouldn’t take our jobs. You were 1000 percent correct.”

#1: Boycott Tesla cars

We own a Tesla. This is our second Tesla after our first got in an accident. Would we buy a Tesla again? There is no way, thanks to “President” Musk. Approximately 30% of Musk’s wealth comes from Tesla shares. We can easily boycott Tesla cars, buy an alternative electric vehicle, and see Tesla’s sales decline. Declining sales generally lead to a lower stock price. That will diminsh Musk’s ability to borrow against his shares tax-free and reduce his wealth. Very passive and easy thing to do.

Bonus: Sell your Tesla shares

If you own Tesla shares, the current CEO is mucking up the American government, destroying agencies investigating him, looking to take over AI competitors, and generally not doing anything related to Tesla. Sell your shares, or if you own a bunch, vote against Musk and his crony board of directors. This applies direct pressure.

Bonus #2: Set Tesla tariffs to 100%

The 47th President is serious about making the sovereign nation of Canada the 51st state. He has introduced broad tariffs, walked them back, and now introduced 25% tariffs on steel and aluminium. This will badly impact Canada. If the tariffs come to pass target Tesla vehicles coming into your country with 100% tariffs. India has 100% tariffs on Tesla, and there are very few Tesla’s in India. This can apply to Canada, Mexico, the EU, UK, China, Japan, and South Korea. This applies direct pressure at the country level and targeting those such as Musk supporting the 47th President.

#2: Freeze your debit cards

With the Musk-led government engaging in America’s largest case of identity theft, the DOGE bros have access to your bank account, Social Security Numbers, and looking to get priviliged tax information. As a first step, lock your debit cards.

A message from our bank after freezing our debit card

By freezing your debit card, you limit purchases, ATM withdrawals, and online payments. When you need it, you can unfreeze your debit card.

“DOGE operatives have infiltrated or assumed control of a number of federal agencies that are responsible for managing personnel files on nearly 2 million federal employees, as well as offices that supply the government with a broad range of software and information technology services.”
