Few governments leave peacefully. Ask Iranians. Still, something needs to be done, and I think a general strike is the best tool at the moment. Witty signs and walking through the streets will not get it done with this White House, unfortunately.
I’d hope that at least 10% of your population must be furious enough at that shitty regime to inconvenience themselves, though at this point I’d even take 3.5%.
US twentieth century history teaches us that in whatever the US does, its citizens will suffer much less for it than the citizens of the victim nations, so as annoying as it may be, the shoe is finally on the other foot. Ask Latinos or Arabs how it felt to wear that shoe for generations.
Let’s see if an actual general strike can come to fruition. If so, I’ll be hoping for its success from afar.
I got off in a tangent there, apologies, since I’m not at all intending to argue against anything you said in your comment….
A general strike is what would be needed, because you can participate and stay home, for those who can’t or won’t pour into the streets. It also brings the economy to a halt, and that’s where the rubber meets the road with impeachments.
Which isn’t to say any of the powers that be give a shit about economic impact to the masses. But they do care about the bottom line of their corporate overlords
