In wake of Donald Trumpās call for Republicans to ātake overā voting, senator Ruben Gallego urges citizens to take a stand and give the āultimate responseā
The Democratic senator Ruben Gallego has proposed that, should Donald Trump try to sabotage the midterm elections, Americans should respond with a general strike that would āgrind the country to a haltā.
Earlier this week the US president called for Republicans to ātake overā and ānationaliseā voting in at least 15 unspecified locations, repeating his false claims that elections are plagued by widespread fraud.
On Thursday Gallego, a senator for Arizona and an Iraq war veteran, warned that Trump could seek to interfere with the November midterms that will determine control of Congress ā and urged citizens to fight fire with fire.
General strikes are effectiveā¦
But if they cancel/rig elections then itās not gonna be enough. If that happens, we really only have one box left.
The sad thing is that theyāre at the point of general, heck National, level of strikes to bring this whole thing to a halt. But no now itās āif they meddle with midtermsā. The cans been kicked so far down the road itās probably not worth recycling.
There should have been strikes after citizens united. I donāt think itās too late, but now it feels like a scramble to organize.
People keep moving the goalposts āif they do this, itāll be the last straw. If they do that, itāll be the last strawā then they do it and nothing happens
