Boycott ideas. Natural and logical consequences. [View all]

I am pretty sure the most effective learning mechanisms are consequences.

My mom tells me not to touch the stove because it is hot. I touch the stove anyway. I just learned an unforgettable lesson.

Significant percentages of people in certain states voted for ultra conservative/Republican/religious extremist/racist, MAGA policies to be executed by trump and his comrades. Consequences and potential consequences are piling up... economic, international, legal, etc. I think they are mostly natural consequences, so far. Logical consequences are actions taken intentionally or strategically like punishments that are logically related to the problem behaviors. The bus boycott of the 1950s, for example. Boycotts in general. So, I am looking for and proposing boycotts that might be both doable and effective.

I found a list of the "most conservative" states (I didn't save the source. They look correct.). Listed below. I have also tried to identify important businesses with home offices or major presences in those MAGA states. It seems to me that several of them have good potential for boycotting thus providing some additional economic consequences for those states. Yes, I know, it may be rough on some of the innocent folks in those states. Maybe there are ways we can help support them.

So, here are the "top ten" most conservative states and some key businesses.
