Would a national general strike bring the republican controlled government to its senses on tRump

34. We're too spread out as a nation. A general strike will have to last a week to work...

...and that's a bit much to ask the majority of workers and citizens who are already living on a shoestring.
Europe, where you see general strikes affecting government policies, is far more compact; most people live within two hours of a large economic center of some sort.

Here, you might get a general strike going in most of the big cities, but nothing will happen in the sleepwalking suburbs and the rickety economy rural towns - because the rural areas don't have any large manufacturing or agricultural base anymore that will be impacted in a general strike, and suburbs were developed to decouple the better-off workers from society in general so they can "evolve" into good consumers and disposable corporate tools instead of retain their identification of citizens.

Maybe a shopping strike would work, but from what I see regionally, if a general strike is called, there's too many desperate paycheck-to-paycheck families who would rather go scab than sacrifice if they can't use paid vacation or leave hours to cover the time off.
