A strike, while technically directed at the wrong address,
Building unity through self harm is self defeating.
You are in a civil war. You don’t attack yourself. Organize a strike in a red state. They are the ones causing the problem.
When a Republican politician goes against Trump he immediately threatens to primary them. That’s what Minnesotans need to do. You are being attacked by other states. Pool your money and target one Republican for retribution. You can’t stop them all. But like Trump and Musk, you can use fear to keep the rest in line.
Dems are partly to be blamed for all of this, too.
Republicans voted for this. Stop blaming the victim. You are like a Ukrainian blaming Zelenskyy for allowing Ukraine to be attacked.
I’m all for strikes in red states, there should be a nationwide general strike with no set end date. But Minnesotans can hardly organise a strike in a red state, so taking action in their own state is the next best thing.
Collecting money to target MAGA politicians in elections is also a good idea, no disagreement there. But one doesn’t exclude the other.
Re: Dems being responsible, I’m referring to the Democratic political establishment, not their voters. And while this current fascism has its home in the Republican party, a lot of it was enabled or allowed by the Democratic party. It’s paramount for Democratic voters to force their party to go the Sanders/AOC/Mamdani route, people who are actually wiling to fight fascism.
Or you could, you know, just not tell people to punch themselves in the face? “Hey look we are all united in our self harm!” Punch back at those hurting you.

Yes that was a short skirt those Dems were wearing showing off their trust in their fellow Americans to do the right thing. They were asking for it.

By the way, it seems at least some Minnesotans support an “economic blackout”: https://piefed.zip/c/news/p/936915/minnesota-faith-union-community-leaders-call-for-economic-blackout-on-jan-23#post_replies (Not a strike, I know, and only one day, but it’s a start.)

Absolutely!
