    The last time people across the country organized general strike of sorts the government went into action to make a law that made it illegal for unions to organize such a thing.

    And with this corrupt Congress and this idiot president and this ridiculous SCOTUS, I think it’s likely they will worm their way into making a law that makes it illegal for any citizen to strike for any reason.

    Trump already illegally outlawed government unions. And nothing, absolutely nothing, was done about it.

      The people strike.

      Congress says: that’s illegal now!! Go back to work!

      Why the fuck would we? Literally what could possibly convince people that the gov is going to arrest a million people for striking? Genuinely, how braindead are people that that is a concern?

        I would suggest you not underestimate just how unbelievably stupid our current president is and how likely he is to actually use the United States army against its own people regardless of how legal or illegal it actually is. Not to mention his sycophantic Congress that will blithely stand by and let him do whatever the fuck he wants. This is what corruption looks like.
