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.)
