Show these trumpers what a failing economy looks like. (lemmy.world)

The people in cities and in blue states made this economic turn around happen. Trump does not deserve the credit he will claim. Burn it down.

Edit: If you leave this thread learning anything please let it be this one thing. Organic political movement isn't schemed up in a board room or carefully planned and executed every step of the way. It starts inside of you and people like you and you lend your support not knowing the outcome but believing in the cause. If it's not here, it's not here. I don't mean to supply you with fuel needed but only the spark to ignite flame waiting to be ignited.

I'm out though.

Strike? Better make it quick.

When Trump fires and replaces the NLRB with loyalists, you’ll lose the NLRA that defends your right to strike. Without that, you’ll just get fired for job abandonment.

Jan 6th

My plan is to stop participating in the economy as much as I can. Only the basic necessities now. The fun times are over. Let’s help crash the Trump economy.

And to strike

[–] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (8 children)

I would join one if it happens. I feel like one of the best ways to strike is just to stop buying shit. The economy thrives on American excess and consumption.

And it thrives on our LABOR

You won't even have to do anything, the Tariffs will.

Let's do it. Start the plans. Make the sticky posts. I'm about it. Just tell me what I need to do.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Build community. Volunteer at local organizations such as food bank or mutual aid, or just get your friends together and do something weird like a free public picnic in the park. It's a lot of fun, you meet lots of cool people. And you make a community more able to resist and protect.

Also stock up on several weeks of food and goods. You'll want to share when disaster happens.

That's the beauty, you do nothing. Jk, no it starts with spreading the word but also ensure every one you tell that you have them. We need to come together and it will cost. Let them know we are in it together.

List of demands:

1 Biden expand the supreme court unopposed.

2 Federal legislation enshrining abortion rights, gay marriage, and decriminilizing Marijuana.

3 Legislation to expand Medicare and make it single payer.

60 million can't beat trump at the ballot box but they can beat anyone who dare try to oppress them.

Is there a petition? A news letter? Anything for us to use all this anger and despair on right now?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world -4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There is your voice. Jan 6th. Stop the coup.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Okay but we need actionable plans before January if we plan on being any sort of opposition.

[+] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world -6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I want you to make the actionable plan. I trust you to be a leader that will disseminate the information. I'm just one guy who can't take it anymore. We lead each other into this and there is no one person that can hold the bag.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The only actionable plans I can think of involved putting protective measures in state constitutions. The time for that has obviously passed. There aren't many legitimate avenues through the government that I see.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world -3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

We force the federal government to pass legislation. We force the federal government to appoint equal representation on the Supreme Court.

[–] bluejay@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Cool bro what a sound plan. I bet you feel important. If you want to actually try and implement change you need to either organize with a plan, leadership and support. Or you need to link up with orgs that exist. This kind of keyboard warrior justice is unbelievably irritating to see.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world -3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I'm more than a keyboard warrior. I'm a person. I'm lending my support. I've contributed more to this strike then anyone else here can claim and you will never match it.

[–] bluejay@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

I'm sure you have buddy. Keep telling yourself that.
