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 āgrind the country to a haltā.
Earlier this week the US president called for Republicans to ātake overā and ānationaliseā 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 ā and urged citizens to fight fire with fire.
Just go ahead and plan for the general strike.
We donāt need to fucking wait for the meddling to happen then act all surprised and disgusted when it does.
Theyāre fucking saying theyāre going to do it right now. Theyāve been saying it for over a year. They were saying it in 2020. It was on the recordings. The Garland slow walked the election interference case and acted all surprised when the charges were instantly dropped after trump took over the DOJ.
So. Letās organize a general strike, right fucking now. Letās plan for it to happen in October ahead of the election.
They are going to fuck with it. Theyāre fucking with it now.
The time to plan and organize is now. We donāt need a plan for a plan for an organization.
Democracy is ending right now. Today. Letās fucking go.
general strike, right fucking now. CAPS please.
Yes, now is the time to plan. Not a couple days before! This must be solid, and not rushed
