(28,755 posts)i think a general strike is called for, but the will to do it still has to build up more. here on DU we are almost all people who really pay attention; we're engaged. most people are just slogging through life and maybe they watch the local news at 5 and browse fb for news.
i think comparisons to nazi germany are apt. i don't think the republicans or trump and his cult can be underestimated as to how low they will go.
Dystopia, civil war, mass incarceration and extrajudicial murders of resisters, scientists, immigrants? i don't know, i just think that they are that bad and it would be unrealistic at this point to keep saying it can't happen here. i never thought what has gone on already would ever happen here.
where i thought wrong: i knew trump was a walking talking catastrophe. I did NOT know that republicans would abandon their posts and the rule of law and allow this corruption to blossom.
