I think we will have to at some point take it to the streets

I'm constantly disappointed with the non action of what's going on the only thing I see that can make a difference or force a difference is is organizing a nationwide strike if things start going South

have quite the effect you imagine. We have the presidency and at least an advantage, though not control, in congress. We're working very hard to STABILIZE our nation, to reassure and create hope and confidence in the future. Not to bring down the economy.

So chaos doesn't take over and people don't take to the streets, and I don't mean us.

I've wondered what could be done if some Democrats win their elections but some state GQP legislatures with their new voter nullification laws decide their losers won instead.

Nationwide general strike? Shut everything except essential services down until they clean up their act? Are there enough unemployed, hungry MAGAts to fill all those jobs?

And there should be a band of great communicators tapped to show up on every news program prepared to explain progress being made by WH thru executive orders and policy decisions. Force Congress to keep up.

Change. The. Fvcking. Narrative.

To bring big business to a halt so they had to pay attention to us and listen to us because right now nothing's happening. Right now big business is only answering to the politicians or vice versa
