A general strike might have stopped the active phase of the coup.
There was no strike or anything like that. Just a few performative protests over the summer.
As it's becoming obvious to everyone except perhaps Americans themselves that the US has positioned itself on the side of autocracies -

Leftists think that no leftward progress has been made in the past few decades so they're blind to how APOCALYPTIC the last few decades have been for the right.
This is why leftist analysis of the right fails. They attribute everything to "economic anxiety" instead of bigots seeing their world end.

This is the crux of the bargain white ppl made voting for trump & the gop. "Rid us of brown ppl & make white ppl the majority again & we will sacrifice our jobs, savings, homes, and even children." They 💯 factored in those losses & decided it was worth it. That's why nothing else he does matters

I think fundamentally the problem with post liberal thinkers is that they seem to assume that vanquishing liberalism results in their enemies being converted or defeated and not becoming radicalized into enemies who no longer extend the mercies they once did.

The modern GOP sneers at both the notion of universal self-governance or self-determination and that of you have any obligation to the country besides just passively accepting things. It’s directly opposed to the idea of meaningful democratic citizenship with rights and duties.
