Edit: whatever essentials you think you're going to need to weather a general strike, go out right goddamn now, and buy a supply of it. Look at my Post history -i've been saying this for months: GO OUT AND BUY A FOOD/ESSENTIALS SUPPLY RIGHT NOW. If you have the means buy enough for yourself and another family- people will obviously be vulnerable in this situation and we need to be able to support them.
If Trump invokes the Insurrection act or declares martial law, he loses right away. Game over.
Until such a time as he and his Peter-Thiel-cronies are removed by the house of representatives or resign, we withhold our labour.
It doesn't matter if we only start out with 5.2 million striking- with the April 5th protest we caught the attention of the nation; if they now see us striking it is my opinion that the rest of America will catch on quickly.
It might take a few days for it to spin up to full speed, but I think it absolutely will, fully organically... especially if everyone in this subreddit makes a point of taking responsibility to talk to everyone in your circle of influence IN PERSON and convince them to do the same thing in their circles.
