Have You Ever Personally Participated in a Boycott?
Have You Ever Personally Participated in a Boycott?
Here’s the Scoop
In an era where political and cultural battles increasingly spill over into the consumer realm, the act of boycotting has transformed from a mere expression of discontent into a powerful tool of social and political change. From the boycotts of companies for their stances on immigration and gun rights to the recent backlash against ‘woke’ corporations, Americans across the political spectrum are using their purchasing power as a form of protest and expression.
But how widespread is this practice among our readers? Have you, as an individual, ever taken a stand by actively participating in a boycott? This question isn’t just about consumer habits; it’s a reflection of the growing sentiment that individual actions can influence corporate behavior and broader societal trends.
Whether it’s refusing to buy products from companies that don’t align with your values, or rejecting services from those who have taken a political stand you disagree with, the act of boycotting sends a clear message in the language of capitalism. It’s a way for the average citizen to wield economic power in an effort to effect change, be it social, political, or environmental.
We’re inviting you, our readers, to share your experiences. Have you joined the ranks of those who use their wallets as a weapon in the cultural wars? This poll is more than just a tally of responses – it’s a gauge of the active role our readers take in shaping the market and society according to their beliefs and values. Cast your vote and let us know if you’ve ever personally participated in a boycott.

Donald: I have not shopped at Target since they stopped the Salvation Army, also. Another company brand I refuse to buy is “Land O’ Lakes” after they took the Indian Princess from their label to “modernize” their company. The Indians whose tribe she was from were very upset as she (princess) represented an actual person! The company ignored their request to keep her on the label – that’s when I stopped buying Land O Lakes!
You might also remember the Goya Foods debacle. The company was being bombarded by the WOKE movement for people to stop buying their products due to the president’s religious beliefs (Christian). I put a sign in the aisle where their product was, explaining the issue and encouraging people to buy the product. The WOKE movement was ticked off when Goya experienced record sales due to REAL people who saw the discrimination!

I do not shop Target, I have not shopped there for over three years.
When they decided to allow men who claim to be women in the dressing
rooms, I decided not to give them any money to futher their trans program
and put our girls at risk.

I no longer shop at any place that doesn’t accept cash, the government has no right to know what I buy or where.
