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.
I agree that the Democrats do know, but you have a lot more faith on them as a party than I do. I think the majority of the DNC are controlled opposition, and are happy with this current situation where they donāt have to try to do anything. Which is why the narrative has been more or less āyou should have voted for us, now we canāt do anythingā even though in reality anytime they can do something, they fold.
