“Like many of you, I’m not the “protesting type.” But you know what? Neither were our founders… until they were.”
I’m not the protesting type either, but nationwide strikes can make the difference. We are already seeing the air traffic controllers calling in sick, which will have a significant impact on the economy should the “sick-outs” continue.
Shut down the economy and the fascists will have just a pile of ashes to rule over. This should be our next option since all else is failing. IMHO!…:)
"Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed."
"He who thus domineers over you has only two eyes, only two hands, only one body... he has indeed nothing more than the power that you confer upon him to destroy you."
I have been protesting at every opportunity since March. Every last protest has been peaceful, filled with optimism and positive energy. It feels as if the tide turned in the past few days. A bimonthly protest at a major intersection in my city (southern WI) turned ugly when a man jumped out of his truck (of course, it had to be a big ass truck) and threatened to go get a gun and kill everyone. The cops were called, but their response was to blame the protesters for not calling “soon enough” (they called right away). In Chicago, peaceful protesters are being sprayed with chemicals and shot with rubber bullets. It seems clear that the goal is to piss off protesters enough that they become aggressive, then use this to justify martial law. I can’t help but wonder what would happen if everyone just went home for a short period of time and remained silent. Who would they attack? How would they justify martial law? Perhaps that is too simplistic, since I know they could manufacture a reason.

All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing (Edmund Burke).
We must stand. We must shout. We must refuse to kneel.
