Yes, the protests are terrific and highly useful in creating public awareness & dissuading would-be buyers. I salute the magnificent people organizing them & attending them.
But let's discuss another line of attack that can be VERY POTENT.

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America:
1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI
2) kill universities
3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub
4) empty the cities
5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen
