    A general strike would crush this president, the GOP, the fascist takeover, and empower the quiet, cowardly opposition from both sides to finally fight back. It’s not even a complex solution, its straightforward and simple. What would convince people to do it is a fucking mystery, but the solution is right there for the taking.

        Be careful. Unions, like Trump, will burn everything down to get a bigger piece of the pie for themselves and their dues payers. Notice there are very few laws that protect the worker? Unions are big business.

      This is why the right never strays from identity politics. They need the working class divided into smaller pieces or else they’d be cooked.
