    Are we in a better position to prevent government from doing horrible things? I’m honestly at a loss for what meaningful action the populace should be taking. We’ve been protesting. Largest single-day mass protests in country history during this term.

    We’ve impeached this president (twice) and each time nothing happened because the elected senate blocked removal.

    We do NOT have a strong history of general strikes, we simply don’t know how to do it since it has not been done here.

    Our populace is not well positioned to fix this except hope that the midterms happen and aren’t sufficiently fucked that we sweep democrats back into power and put a check back on the system.
