TIL that the economy is propped up by <checks notes> fashion and makeup, and it will collapse if Libs stop buying patchouli and hair dye.

It’s laughable that so many live in this fantasy where all women are liberal.

The economy definitely wouldn't tank if women stopped buying shoes and clothes and facials for the next 8 weeks. As someone who worked in retail for almost a decade, I can confidently state that the drop in sales in January & February is very much anticipated by all retailers after every single Christmas season. So, not buying non-essentials isn't really the boycott they seem to think it is.

Both sides look like a bunch of savages and idiots when those are the people you focus on

Who's 'temp'? The intern that's been running the country into the ground for the last 4 years? Yeah, definitely blame them

Are they going to just burn their money?
They're going to either a) spend it on something in the economy or b) save it (ie, invest it).
The latter is more beneficial to the economy than mindless consumption. So if they mindlessly spend 100 dollars in makeup, and boycott makeup and spend 100 dollars on...power tools...guess what, that 100 is still in the economy. On the other hand, if they put that 100 dollars in a bank's savings account, the financial institution storing that value can use it to fund...new business loans to small business, business expansion for current businesses, new mortgages, etc, creating value to the economy.
At any rate, that 100 dollars is in the economy and active, regardless as to what it's spent on.

I wish they would! No one buying would bring down prices, while leaving the money in the bank would increase investment, essentially creating supply side economics.

So liberals DO sabotage things on purpose in order to blame conservatives.
