Absolutely. And I am so angry at my brain dead fellow Americans for not getting into the streets with us. That being said, some of us are building toward a general strike. Soon enough? I don’t know. But it is our only way out now.

This is fantastic! Now imagine a general strike where we did this at every airport in the country for a few days. THAT is how you bring down an autocrat.
There is a picket line the entire length of the departures terminal.
