Tesla and Other Boycotts: Piggybacking [1]

As Putin’s Puppet and the Tech Jerk wave their chainsaw, threatening people all over the world, grassroots resistance is popping up everywhere. Consumers and tourists of the world can come together in protest.
Tesla boycotts, fueled by grassroots rage at the destructive behavior of Elon Musk, have sprung up in Canada and in Europe as well as in the United States. Putin’s Puppet with his tariffs and threats of tariffs aims his venom aimed at pretty much the entire world, making an international response more and more likely. These boycotts are likely to persist whether or not the tariffs materialize because Putin’s puppet issues his edicts in a spirit of hatred and insult that leaves a mark.
If every country that has been threatened with tariffs counters with threats of 100% tariffs on Tesla, its sales would quickly collapse. But politicians are understandably reluctant to increase the probability of long-term trade wars. Grassroots boycotts are more likely.
In Canada, the populace is not limiting itself to boycotting Tesla and is wholeheartedly shunning all things American, including tourism and groceries. Right now Sweden and other European countries and trying to do the same (link). As this action spreads to other countries, the U.S. economy is increasingly vulnerable.
Forcing citizens of other nations to buy American products is, as yet, impossible even when the White House is home to a bullying psychopath. Large parts of the the citizens of the world may soon join together in undermining the these oligarchs. Against millions event the most psychopathic leader is powerless.
Piggybacking is also possible. If Canadians are boycotting tourism to Florida , Americans can follow suit, and take our vacations elsewhere. If the Swedes decide to boycott Amazon, so can we. A world of possibilities is opening up.
