Not every angry lefty has the energy and working hours to go out and riot. That means internet protests, petitions to Electors to vote Hillary, petitions to Obama to appoint Garland and then it gets even crazier from there.
#GrabYourWallet started out as a hashtag to boycott Trump products. Then it became a call to boycott stores that sell Trump products. Then it became a call to boycott everything. And then crazy people were posting videos of themselves setting their New Balance sneakers on fire.
What does New Balance have to do with Trump?
One of its people said that the company was opposed to TPP and they hoped that under Trump things would get better. Opposing TPP was a core lefty project. But there was a torrent of cries that New Balance was racist.
"new balance" even sounds like a slogan for white supremacists

So New Balance Shoes is trying to distance themselves from the racist regime that they supported https://t.co/TN5VSECEY2

The current #GrabYourWallet boycott list encompasses Amazon, Bloomy's, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Home Depot, the Home Shopping Network, Macy's, Marshall's, Nordstroms, Overstock and basically every store in existence.
It's almost like the left can't handle losing too well.
