At what point do we general strike or ALL get into the streets? [View all]

This insurrectionist has pardoned a bunch of terrorists that hate our country.

He attacked immigrants and LGBTQ.

He nullified our FDA AND CDC.

He went after Americans and birth rights.

This is an attack on the citizens of this country, and it's time for action by Congress that believes in our country and the citizens that want to do something.

I think we demand trump/vance should resign or we strike. I'm talking nothing gets done...no work, no bills paid, no shopping. Nothing. We are not a country of terrorists and insurrectionists, this is not okay. He is putting our country is at risk.
