I hope everyone is ready for a general strike because that time is coming up at us rapidly.

General strike when >50% of those who voted wanted this? What world are you living in?

Edit: I stand corrected, 49.81%. It doesn't change the point much. Especially when that ~49% includes many "working class"[1] voters. Who's going to participate in this general strike? A bunch of office workers?

  • I suspect much less than 50% actually wanted legal residents of the United States disappeared to El Salvador.

    Also, research tells us that it only takes 3.5% to overthrow a government.

      You're describing a coup or revolution. Isn't that highly anti-democratic considering this president just won an election? Why should the 50% be under the thumb of the 3.5%?
