Well, I will post in here what I posted in this thread…
"I have an alternative idea. One that meets somewhere in the middle. That is disruptive…very…but is not violent or breaks any laws, per se.
Here is what I think. My 2 cents. My idea, plan, thought, what have you, on what I wish would happen…
…but I fully admit MY idea, this one I’m about to lay out, is fairly impossible. It will simply never happen. At least not on the scale I think it should in order to work…but here it is anyways.
A one day strike. A MASS strike. One day only. Just one.
A strike of everyone. Anyone and everyone wiilling to risk it. Just… don’t go into work for that day. And go out in the streets and show that it’s not because you’re sick or you have something VITAL to do…no, it’s just to show the Trump administration that you’re a part of this protest.
Everyone. strike. Everyone. Boss threatens to fire you if you don’t come in. OKay, fine. Have fun replacing me. Hell, the BOSS should be right out there striking with you. Along with all of your co workers.
But Idle Thoughts… there are many people who cannot simply walk away from their jobs, they are INTEGREAL jobs, Needed, Required. Police officers Firefighters, Nurses, Doctors, Hospital Workers. You want them to just leave all the dying and sick patients alone ENTIRELY for just one day?? It cannot be done, it’s not realistic.
Well…yeah, that’s what I said at the start. it would never happen.
But yes… I am saying that. I am saying WALK away for that day, even if you are a cop or firefighter or nurse or doctor or postal worker or streetcleaner or shoe salesman or bank teller or teacher or…ANYTHING. Doesn’t matter. Strike. Walk away for one day…and show you’re not gonna put up with it any more.
Be peaceful, of course. Just protesting. But everyone, A mass one. One day strike OF ALL WORKERS>…and hell…SET UP THOSE EMERGENCY tents that they had like, In Korea and the Vietnam war…BRING THE ER AND ICU PATIENTS OUT too… give them signs to hold if they want to.
One day… everyone walks away from their jobs, any job. No matter the job.
…
Obviously this will never happen.
FIrst of all, all of the people FOR Trump would not do it. Secondly, even those against Trump, a large amount won’t do it. People will not be willing to leave the required jobs and leave citizens unsafe from crime and sickness. Bosses will threaten firings all over the place and most will give in and cow to it, not wanting to lose their job.
It wouldn’t work. It would never get off the ground.
But if it ever somehow DID… that would be a way to disrupt life, yet it would still be peaceful and not break protesting laws, as far as I can tell.
Because if it ever, by some MAGICAL MEANS did happen on a GRAND SCALE… just one day… the nation would SHUT DOWN. Virtually shut down and then Trump would panic and not know what to do…
BUt then… next day? Business as usual. Everyone geos to their jobs. Well, what jobs they still have…
But then the real fun starts. Because we, the people (remember that lilne?), can always let Trump know “Okay…now imagine that ONE DAY… ONGOING. Because the NEXT STRIKE will be INDEFINITE”
Yeah, I think he’d give in then. I think there’s even a chance he’d give up the post. Secede.
Well, I can dream."
=================
Someone said, in that first thread I posted this in, that it would not work due to TRUMP taking it as a hostile and aggressive move/thing and would declare Martial Law due to it…but I remain a little skeptical. Maybe I’m being naïve, but I would think as long as it was just as peaceful a demonstration as any other one, there would be no cause to bring in the military or police.
Heck, this sort of mass protest wouldn’t even require gathering at any specific location or marching at all. People could if they wanted to.,but they could just CHILL AT HOME, all apart from one another…
…just, ya know, TAKE OFF WORK, that is the main point. You can not go into work and take the day off at any place, though. You can take the day off and stay in your own home.
But yeah… everyone. Everyone who is willing, take the day off. Even essential jobs. Even upon threat of firing.
If there is enough, it will be heard and it will make the news because it will bring this whole country to a CRASHING, STOP ON A DIME HALT
