The Democratic senator Ruben Gallego has proposed that, should Donald Trump try to sabotage the midterm elections, Americans should respond with a general strike that would “grind the country to a halt”.
Earlier this week the US president called for Republicans to “take over” and “nationalise” voting in at least 15 unspecified locations, repeating his false claims that elections are plagued by widespread fraud.
On Thursday Gallego, a senator for Arizona and an Iraq war veteran, warned that Trump could seek to interfere with the November midterms that will determine control of Congress – and urged citizens to fight fire with fire.
Doing it AFTER the midterms is too late.
The election will be stolen and no amount of striking will get a NEW election to happen. Furthermore Trump will continue to have unfettered control of all 3 branches of the government, the military, and a paramilitary police force answerable only to him.
A strike at that point will lead to nothing less than civil war.
It makes me sick to say this but civil war is coming if we want it or not. Truthfully, it is already being fought by one side and the other is run my Chuck Schumer. Get ready.
