Liberal woman explains “MASS BLACKOUT” -- Democrats' attempt to crash Donald Trump’s economy.Liberal woman: "I know you weren’t about to scroll, as I’m about to tell you the most important piece of information of the day.A mass blackout is planned November 22nd to December 2nd. A few organizations got together, like Blackout America, Mayday, Sick Day, and Big Beautiful Boycott. They did this one day last month, and it was successful, so this time we’re doing it for a whole week. This is a people-powered movement, and I can get behind this. It’s like a pushback towards fascism, greed, lies, consumerism. Somebody said we are not powerless and we should decide where our money goes, and I agree. If you agree too and you want to participate, I’m going to explain how. You don’t have to do every single thing on the list, it’s not realistic, but just do what you can. And please don’t comment any negativity—like, I can’t do this, I can’t do that—like I said, do what you can. If you feel like you can’t do anything on the list, just share it. Share this video, make your own, just share the message.The first one is no work, and I know that’s not realistic for a lot of us, but if you have PTO, take it. If you have to go, do the bare minimum. You’re still slowing the flow of profit by doing the bare minimum. Don’t clock in early, don’t stay late, take that whole hour lunch break. And again, if neither one of those works for you, engage in the other parts of the blackout.Especially no spending. We’re not giving any money to mega corporations at all. So no Walmart, Target, Amazon, Uber Eats—just for one week. Save your money and pretend like those conveniences don’t even exist.How to prepare, because for that week, you’re going to need to eat. Some people need medicine, so try to buy all of that before November 25th—not the day before though. They’re asking people not to wait until the day before, so there’s not an influx of purchases. And if you can, try to get your food from local shops. So community-owned stores, maybe a local pharmacy. Also put off anything that can wait—any events, deliveries, projects. Even if you have a bill that’s going to be due that week, pay it ahead of time if you can. We’re not spending any money that week. And before that week we’re only spending it locally—no corporations. Even after the week is over, you should still support small businesses, no corporations. I know personally I am.I did see a lot of people ask, why is it only a week? In my opinion, if it was longer, people would just skip over it. They would say it’s just too unrealistic and just skip over it. And if enough of us actually do it, one week will definitely hit them where it hurts for sure. You know, today, right now most stores—a lot of stores—allegedly are raising their prices just so the sales, the Black Friday sales, Cyber Monday sales, will seem so much better. You shouldn’t support that type of manipulation anyway. Most of us fall for it every time, that’s why they keep doing it, but it’s time to stop. It’s literally our consumerism that fuels this exploited system, and the way to make it stop is to stop fueling it. Stop engaging. Stop giving them your money. It’s time to take our power back.I’m just—my heart is so happy seeing all these people canceling the holidays, canceling mega corporations. This—I’m just sharing this message and I’m so happy to share this message. I can get behind this type of carry-on any day, every day. But yes, just for one week out of your life, you can make major change. Change the economy. Give us back our power. It’s more of us than it is them. They need us more than we need them. It’s time to take our power back."
