Don’t get me wrong, it’s great seven million people hit the streets to show their concern that the USA is becoming fascist. But let’s be realistic: nobody in the GOP or in the presidential office gives a shit; they are just sitting it out, knowing full well: on Monday it’s back to work for the common Joe. We’ve seen similar big protests in London against brexit and in Germany against the far right: politicians don’t care, the effect was very limited. What do they care about? Mainly to get re-elected, so activate voters. Or actions that pull in the press: throwing rotten eggs at politicians, the Brits have had some success with that. Example France or Netherlands: a couple of trucks with horse manure emptied on the White House lawn or blocking the senate entrance with tractors. For the USA, the Boston tea party comes to mind; now thát was a No Kings protest.
If those block parties keep on going how long do you think before the country would grind to a halt? You could call it a general block party if you want.
and how would they keep going, you gonna pay our bills? we have to stop and go to work and the fascists know that. they don’t have to worry, they just gotta wait us out.
You gonna starve like a coward or die like a man? You ain’t voting this problem away.
i agree, comrade. but i have to argue from the perspective of the common worker. they are paralyzed by fear of losing everything without a support system.
we need to pool resources and make sure to take care of each other while we strike.
indefinitely.
it’s even on a weekend, so no one misses work.
make it on a Monday and now we’re talking
What would you define “keep going on” as exactly. Way to much emotion going on these days. So as you all feel like you made a “difference” everyone will stop.
