When do Americans stand up and strike?

After this fiasco at the G7 completely reaffirming that trump is owned by Putin and his mission is to destroy America and destabilize western Democracies, when are Americans going to stop being apathetic and actually stand up and shut the country down until things change?

Sitting back hoping Russians don't rig the November election (Dan Coates says they're already working on it) is not going to save America. Until Republicans see the anger and the power of the people putting a stop to this, America is not going to improve.

They don't strike when he drives at top speed toward a cliff.
They don't strike when he goes over the cliff.

They strike when it hits the bottom and people go "ow"
