The people in cities and in blue states made this economic turn around happen. Trump does not deserve the credit he will claim. Burn it down.

Edit: If you leave this thread learning anything please let it be this one thing. Organic political movement isn’t schemed up in a board room or carefully planned and executed every step of the way. It starts inside of you and people like you and you lend your support not knowing the outcome but believing in the cause. If it’s not here, it’s not here. I don’t mean to supply you with fuel needed but only the spark to ignite flame waiting to be ignited.

I’m out though.

    A general strike will take a lot of planning. I’d estimate that an intense organizing campaign over the span of a year could make it happen, if all the organizers are willing to set aside most of their personal life for that time. Add an additional year if the organizing committee cannot make that commitment. If we start the planning now, it could grind the Trump economy to a total halt in q4 2026, peak profit for most companies.

      Waiting for things to cool off is the one sure fire way to make sure it will never happen. Anyone tempted to subscribe to this belief has already in their head given up their freedom. Has already resided their fate and is ready for the new world order.

        I’m not saying this out of ignorance. I’m a professional organizer. I’m telling you that a strike without planning is like jumping into the deep end without learning to swim. The strike will fail if things aren’t prepared first.

        ETA: all said, if you want to start organizing this strike I will help. I absolutely agree, a strike is really the only tool left in our “peaceful protest” toolbox.

          We need you, dummy. I’m not that. I’m know I’m not that. You are the litmus test. We don’t have you and people like you we don’t have a strike.

            I’ll need a committee, friend. I was once where you were too, your passion is exactly what an organizing committee needs!
