General strike is never going to happen, the USA is huge and spread out.
Asking for a civil war is not absurd, I certainly see the merits in it, but it will also cause many unnecessary deaths and great suffering while also emboldening Russia and China to do whatever they like unchecked.
The GOP proposed budget bill is attrocious and honestly cannot even be stopped if every DNC votes in unison because it can still pass via reconciliation, which makes outrage against the inevitable pretty impotent, but setting the government employees up for unpaid work or not working at all until the 2026 is also not ideal.
One could argue that those deaths would be necessary.
You first.
The way I see it is there is still a way out through voting and if tbis country continues to vote for fascism then maybe it isn't worth saving.
Also because China and Russia are advocating for the civil war that makes me not want to do it because fuck China and Russia.
talk like this is volunteering to die
I suppose one must ponder if the alternative is considered living. For many, it is not.
Aight you die first then
