When Trump, The GOP, and Rightwing Judges attempt to steal the 2026 Mid-terms, what are you prepared to do?

I don't think many an DU think the Republicans will allow free and fair elections this fall. Lawsuits aren't going to cut it this time. So what are we going to do about?

I hope powers above my pay grade are making plans NOW! It seems to me that we need to plan for a General Srike.

Ideas might including:

* Stocking up on food and supplies in October of 2026 so that a sustained boycott of Wall Street will be successful.

* Will need millions willing to protest, especially in Washington DC.

* We need Blue State governments willing to defy Trump officials and certify THEIR elections anyway.

Sadly, I fear the above ideas won't be enough and with the help of the facist corporate media, Americans will roll over and allow the theft of of our democracy yet again.

And they will ridicule any explanation that doesn't adhere to The Official Story.

Because of the declining purchasing power of the dollar. People are snapping up essentials, you can see it in the stores, supermarkets, thrifts, and outlets. Popular items fly out fast, beggars search for the rest. And this despite it all costing more, which is to say the devaluing US dollar. So be optimistic that people will be pretty pissed by election day.
