24. At least I'm considering solutions that worked elsewhere. If you don't even try to think of a solution, any cynical

rejection of others' effort is a stumbling block to solidarity. Sometimes the talk has to stop and action has to happen. A general strike is an action by inaction. The longer the threat gains power, the harder will be the fight.
The list of strikes I reposted are what's worked. I didn't say they're "my way," but just worth a try.

If anyone hopes they can reason with a felon who won't govern reasonably, or whose mercenaries pose as "law and order," we might be making the same mistake the the Jews did when they thought they could appease each demand of the Nazis who, inch by inch, got them on the trains and across the German borders to be worked or gassed to death.

So what have you got. What are some "unthinkable terms".

Constantly describing the trainwreck is what corporate news already does well enough, so why further darken yourself with personal variations and do their work for them.

We're here today because some humans thought their children and the rest of us in the future should have 1) "life," 2) "liberty," and so they fought to preserve them, because they thought they were worth dying for. As Joe Biden has always said, "America is an idea. We can do anything if we do it together; we know this because we always have."
