Trump has said that the United States shouldn’t have midterm elections this year because midterm voters often vote against the president’s party. Democratic congressional leaders have said they expect Trump to disrupt and dispute the midterms.
“It’s some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don’t win the midterms,” Trump told Reuters in a recent interview. He then boasted that his presidency had accomplished so much that “when you think about it, we shouldn’t even have an election.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told the Associated Press that Democrats are concerned that Trump will try to prevent open and fair midterm elections.
There are many things you can do to support positive change. Talk to your community. Work with local organizers. If you dont want to be put in a situation where you have to be violent? Fine, push for a general strike. There are groups in every municipality trying to do this, maybe start by trying to get in touch with your local IWW or union block. Just as one example.
