Those of us with self-respect are already doing that. I suppose it's a form of protest, but nobody is going to link it to protesting for Trump or anything in particular. That's one of the important things about protests (assuming they ever work at all, which is rare) they have to be visibly and directly connected to the thing being protested. A company has to clearly see that they are losing profits because of action X. Not just general customer disinterest over time. By the time you get to that point, it's too late and we're already creating competition / parallel systems.
And protests are only useful if they can lead to a change. Today, whether or not Trump is actually indicted and perp walked, thousands of people are going to be surveilled, added to lists, etc, and a few hundred are going to get caught up with Feds running honeypots and false flags. Just like last time.
A protest is only capable of leading to change if it consists of a lot of people who are ready to turn into a mob, are in a place with the opportunity and capability to force a change, and know it.
