If Trump tries to take over another city:

The city should go into a General Strike. Maybe the billionaires will start losing their fortunes and just maybe it would spread to the whole nation.

This is getting out of control and I'm not giving up my rights to Donald Fucking Trump!

1. What about the current situation does NOT warrant a general strike?

Secret police?
Concentration camps?

Wait long enough and we've got full Nazi Rule.

Hint: Don't wait.

2. I totally agree, but for some reason the public is not there yet.

3. I think that the lack of urgency by some leaders normalizes the coup.

RAISE HELL.

An open letter to Democratic leaders. This is our Normandy. Marshall all our forces or lose to fascist rule.

How serious am I?

We have secret police
We have concentration camps
We have a city occupied by federal troops.

4. This is obvious. But some here will fight that notion as hard as

they fought for years to try and make us believe Garland was doing stuff.

7. Detroit too nt

The next mayor of Detroit is likely to be an African American woman.

6. It's not going to get any better, until we take to the streets and fight. (nt)

8. The problem with a general strike

A general strike usually means people not going to work. Most people nowadays can’t afford to miss work and certainly can’t afford to get fired. A better version of a general strike is a no-spend day. Declare a no-spend day and everyone simply doesn’t spend that day—no groceries, no gas, no Amazon, no nothing. Yes, a lot of this stuff will be bought at another time, but a day of rock-bottom sales will definitely get attention. But it needs to be well-organized and well publicized to make a difference.

As it is, I sometimes think our whole economy is based on people delivering over-processed food and cheap Chinese junk to each other and it would do us good to take a break for a day or two.
