I want to acknowledge that the Dropkick Murphys parted ways with Wasserman last week. So there are males taking a position. My inbox is filled with people reminding me of the Dropkick Murphys' action, so I wanted to point it out.

But while I have your attention, I also want to point out that the essence of Chappell Roan's action here is money. That's what effects change. To say this or that, to take a position is one thing, it's quite different to affect someone's pocketbook.

Assuming you want to have an effect on Trump and his administration/actions, the only effort that will truly have an effect is financial.

Scott Galloway has gone on record about this numerous times. He has said that you only have to reduce the GDP by a tiny amount before it affects markets and Trump reacts.

Galloway has started a new movement, or at least is attempting to do so, entitled "Resist and Unsubscribe," you can check it out here:

But as famous as Galloway is, as much of a dent as he has in the public consciousness, it's a fraction of that of a successful musician.

Furthermore, no single musician has universal mindshare, unlike in the pre-internet era. Therefore, it takes more than one, a movement, to have an effect.

The country runs on personal spending. Sans consumerism, the economy collapses. But we keep being told it's the billionaires, the titans who make the world go round and we should pay fealty to them.

It takes one to know one. Galloway understands the game, ergo this Resist and Unsubscribe movement. Galloway explains his thinking here:

https://www.profgalloway.com/resist-and-unsubscribe/

I am not optimistic that this Resist and Unsubscribe movement will gain enough traction to make a difference, if for no other reason than most people are unaware of it. But this is a blueprint. And this is what is going to effect change, something monetary, that affects the players who have the power to make change.
