    Default Citizen Strike?

    Could the American people who dislike the Government get together and call sit our asses out in protest of the Government? Is there anything in the constitution that would apply to it? If the majority of the people decided we aren't going to do anything until the administration is out is there any way that could work? Looking at approval poles and internet forums it seems both sides don't like Ol Sniffer. The problem would be where to go from there I guess?

    I tend to think your employer and social circles are the things that you’d need to be most concerned about… but could be an interesting tactic if even a fairly small percentage of people just “stopped”…. I believe some of that is what’s already happening and causing supply chain issues due to lack of dock workers, truckers, etc.
    Please leave any relevant feedback here:

    Wouldn't accomplish anything. Same as the complete failure of Occupy Wallstreet. No direction, no goals, no uniformity of the participants.

    +1. Right now the left knows they have about a year left to grab everything they can and run. They think they are saving everyone from themselves while conveniently targeting their political opposition. There is no argument with that mindset. Their current calculations expect them to lose seven senate seats in 2022. Note I said "their", that is the democratic party estimation. Their actions seem like a desperate grab, because it is. Even the progressive caucus is demanding they rush to get as much as they can before the opportunity is lost for good.

    Basically you can't get them worried about elections or recall when they already expect to lose.

    Was at the local Buffalo Wild Wings last Thursday afternoon when a "Let's go Brandon" chant erupted. There were quite a few patrons with Grunt Style Tshirts on and also quite a few with patriotic shirts on. I'd say a Citizen Strike is highly likely.

    I will always think of Trump as the president that when I came back from overseas, there was no milk, toilet paper & meat at my local store. Oil was -14 dollars a barrel. Discussion of fighting the virus was consuming disinfectant and ultra violet light. What scared me the most, was the guy was serious...

    You think Trump was the root cause of all that nonsense and the subsequent economic problems? The guy who got absolutely harpooned for telling people to keep calm?

    At the request of another member here, the "Let's go Brandon" decals are being cut today

    The decal currently on my truck is a bit "louder"

    It was Trumps response that I had a problem with. The guy is an idiot and the voters showed him the door. He should stick to hotels, golfing and Dancing With The Stars.
