Riddle me this: what even is an “illegal boycott”? A boycott is, by definition, a grassroots consumer movement.So what, you’re gonna arrest the people who started calling for it in the first place (that will simply amp up the boycott)? You’re going to threaten and arrest people who buy alternative products (that clearly is not workable, and will simply amp up the boycott)? You’re gonna punish people who aren’t buying your product (super dumb, same reason)? Are you going to gasp incentivize people to buy them (it’s dumb, but I see this as the most likely possibility: orangeboi declares a 100% tax subsidy for buying teslas)?

Doesn't the USA have laws against boycotting Israel specifically?

  • No it does not
  • Again: explain how that would even work
