There’s a lot to digest here.

The thing that struck me most though was the article mentions was the tactic of allowing voters to place their vote in any state. Voter Tourism, essentially.

As the article mentions - expect something similar from the administration.

If that happens then personally I think that’s a huge sign that the mid-terms will be compromised.

Free and fair democracy is so important. It must not be destroyed.

    I think a lot of people are aware but when your elected representatives won’t represent you, what do you do?

    Personally, and I know this would be very difficult to organise, but I believe the most effective tool ordinary citizens have against Trump is a general strike.

    The markets have been shown to be the only thing effective at restraining Trump. He only cares about money.

    Workers are what make the economy, not the businesses. They have nothing without the hard work of everyday men and women.

    Denying them labour in an organised manner could cripple the entire country.

    Look at Britain in the 1970s/1980s or The Russian Revolution.

    I’m aware it’s very difficult to achieve but I remain resolute in my belief that it is the most effective tool available. By far.
