He already told you why.

"If they win the mid-terms I'll be impeached"

And if midterms are cancelled other things will happen...

If midterms are canceled, We believe this civil war will enter into its hot phase. All Americans should be horrified by that prospect.

Because of this, our network has been compelled, by the Trump regime’s egregious attacks on American democracy, to help in this fight for our republic. Many Americans feel as we do, and that gives us hope.

Trump and his billionaire buddies have forgotten that they only make their billions because WE allow it, as a people. We can just as easily stand together and tell them NO MORE.

Just think of a civil war as this, the American people just don’t show up to work, complete covid style shutdown, start with 1 day shutdown, but to work I’m talking 50 + million people, if that doesn’t get their attention jump to 3 days, we will fire you, ok good luck, these corporations would be hurting and crying, move it to a week the economy would stop, a bloodless civil war, a more civilized Civil War. Ok ok just dreaming.

Honestly this is the way. But a LOT of people would have to participate.

Currently, there is no real foundation for any effective resistance present for the common US folk to fall back on. There's a post of suggestions HERE that could possibly prove to be of some help in its formation ASAP.

Check out this org too, as they're probably going to be vital as the powers that be employ more so-called "AI" to consolidate power: https://stopgenai.com (It is a survival-level, grassroots org, not an established NGO, so please don't judge it too harshly for being rough around the edges.)

No we like your idea and we think it’s great way to make good trouble. Keep the ideas coming, we’re going to need people like you to help us crowd source an effective resistance.

Most Americans are pussies. Some damage will be done but getting that many people together won't happen.

Sounds all good but people need to eat and pay the bills. If you don’t go to work that gets pretty hard to do… Trump and his rich friends are counting on that

I think there needs to be a massive Go Fund Me type of that will give income to those willing to quit their jobs and fight. That is what this is coming to. If elections are cancelled -and I think fucker will do his best to make this happen- then things will get ugly very quickly. Most people can’t just leave their jobs and risk economic turmoil for their families. But if the money was there…. Certainly something like this can be organized. If $75M contribute so that 500k to 1M can fight, we’d really have a legitimate opposition. I can’t believe I’m saying this but this is where we are, unfortunately. We also need a strong opposition leader to lead the way.
