Iβll keep boycotting. But the sad reality is that many of these companies are doing better than ever in 2025. Too many Americans prefer convenience over community or are in survival mode financially without the means to absorb the higher price that comes with βbuy localβ. π

Iβm angry about this too. Most voting age Medicaid recipients identify as democrats. Either way, poor and undereducated people are victims of the MAGA propaganda machine. I would argue that lack of empathy just makes vulnerable people more susceptible to the lies.

Under my plan, if an insurance company is denying Wisconsinitesβ claims too often, weβre going to audit them. Pretty simple.
Dems must also go talk to Trump voters directly. Talking on news outlets and podcasts that Trump voters donβt listen to isnβt helping. Go to the NASCAR event, go to the rodeo, go to the local fairs, go to the churches, go to gun show.
