Commentary: Public opinion is meaningless against Trump. To defeat him, and save ourselves, it’s time to stop reading polls and start leading protests.

Just don't comply with any of the fake and illegal Big Bully Bluff, even if it means arrest. Plus Boycott, limit spending and don't panic which is their Shock and Awe tactic.
Absolutely. Trump & his supporters just love to troll the opposition. The more the indignation, the more they’re happy to trigger even more.
Every now & then bullies need to be punched, sometimes hard. I fear that what’s needed is RAPID, painful,escalation (e.g. a widespread, paralizing strike)
It’s going to take more than protests when Wall Street and republicans are still on their side — we’ll also need a general strike to shut down the economy since all they care about is money

This is how we explain what’s up to the sedated public. I had someone say to me: “I’m a liberal from way back, but we lost the election.” Where to start?
Fight, arm yourselves, use what's left of the law, boycott Red States products, civil disobedience. Remember the passion over the Vietnam war, Kent State and other government atrocities, mobilise it.
I think most people are six months behind actual reality, still giving benefit of the doubt and acting as if Trump ISN’T far-right lunatic fringe, living in denial, pretending to be “measured”.
Buying strike - buy nothing other than essentials, buy only from allies if at all possible, do not relent until Trump is removed, even if it's four years and the economy collapses.
Rolling, targeted work strikes - those that can afford to and can legally do so, organize strikes targeted at specific industries or regions, set up to go a specific amount of time so as to disrupt the economy without causing the strikers to run out of money.
Also, on the strikes - this could be done in a way to not even cost jobs for some people. Those of you that have jobs that give sick time, use it at the same time. The system is oppressing people right now - use it as a weapon against itself.
The only thing that billionaire oligarchs will notice is when people stop giving them more money, and make their businesses suffer. So let's *really* make them notice.
Disrupt everything, AND also set up MAJOR protests outside Mar-A-Lago, his Hotels, his Golf Courses, his Towers. Make life a living HELL for the MF'er in the WH who is destroying America a little bit more every day.
As we saw in 2017, marching does nothing but make fascists laugh and wear out the resistance. We need more. A work slowdown at the government and any company supporting these fascists. Document fascist activity in government and leak it to independent media...
forget him and focus on your local and state politicians including those in congress, with enough pushback and/or support, they may finally wake up and start standing up for constituents intead of themselves
Want to know how effective street protests are? Research Venezuela, where they’ve had over 20 years of marches, demonstrations w. zero to show for it. To resolve the Trump situation Democrats need to focus on their core values + find a candidate that everyone will vote for
We need massive marches!!!!
Are we ready!
It wont be easy!
It was not easy for generations that gave their lives for us .… We the people… the freedoms and rights we hold self evident!! We are the United States! It is ours to lose!!!🦋🇺🇸🇺🇸
Entire swaths of the American people would readily show up for a protest (or stay home for a general strike) that was effectively organized by our reps, leaders or other credible group(s).

When they get out there let us know.
Until then the goal is for Trump to beat down Minorities and women in the street so his followers can cheer.
It has to be the white men ..
