This is exactly the groundwork we need to be laying right now, and I’m delighted to hear it coming from a US Senator (!):

It seems like only yesterday that I was screaming at Sen. Gallego for voting for Trump cabinet nominees.
And next month you'll be screaming again as they wave through some godawful compromise...

Yup. A lot of replies are missing the point that we have to •prepare• now in order for this to happen months in the future. People want the whole collective consciousness to suddenly turn on a dime. Groundwork!! -
This part is especially important (emphasis added):
“If we have to destroy the stock market to save democracy, we need to accept that and, more importantly, •••the richest and the most powerful people in the world and in this country need to understand that that is a real possibility.••• There is no economic stability without democratic stability. If you take away our democratic stability, we will take away the economic stability.”

It's surreal to me that we have ended up in such a wiked tendril of the multiverse scheme.
One day I'm watching Shoah thinking this'll never happen again and then here we are.
History, man.

Groundwork!!@inthehands @dcdeejay Yes, and ideally, you want to show proof of the threat by starting now, creating immediate pain (like unsubscribing, boycotts, etc.) in the hope that they’ll react and prevent a total economic disaster. I’m all for breaking everything if it means saving democracy, but if we can achieve the goal with minimal damage, even better.

If Trump tries to prevent a fair election from happening, then we need “a true national strike in the sense that, if they do this, if they try to overthrow our democracy, if you are allied with democracy, do not go to work . If you’re a pilot, do not show up. If you drive a train, do not show up. If you’re a teacher, do not show up. We grind the country to a halt.”
‘Grind the country to a halt’: Democrat urges national strike if Trump meddles in midterms
In wake of Donald Trump’s call for Republicans to ‘take over’ voting, senator Ruben Gallego urges citizens to take a stand and give the ‘ultimate response’
