How much longer until we have a real revolution? Republicans are allowing Trump to destroy democracy and replace it with fascism. He has become an autocrat; a virtual fuhrer. We can’t wait for the November election; Trump can cause far too much damage in the next few months. We must remove him now.
All Americans, young and old, must take to the streets. We can shut down corporate America. Until Trump is removed from office by our government, we must refuse to allow big business to profit at the expense of the working man. Those who cannot ‘strike’ can use an old technique we used in in the 1960’s and 1970’s. “Working by the rules” will create enormous losses for corporations. Read the rules carefully at your place of employment. Following every word, written by attorneys, will slow these businesses to a crawl. Production will nearly cease, and we will force Trump and his circle of sinners from office or our nation will enter a depression where major businesses will fail. CEOs who make tens-of-millions of dollars each year will lose their positions. Capitalism will be exposed as a failure, and we, the people, will take control of our nation.
I cannot accept one more day of Trump’s attacks on the Constitution and our nation’s working class. I will not live in a nation which accepts white supremacy and bigotry against all others with the exception of white Christians who bow to the Republican Party.
Here’s the most recent action by Trump to commit treason. His submission to Vladimir Putin is now joined with his support of China’s President Xi. New sanctions were imposed on a Chinese company called ‘ZTE,’ for violating U.S sanctions by shipping telecommunications equipment to Iran and North Korea. ZTE, which reached an agreement with the government on the charges, was further accused of lying to investigators and obstructing a probe into its actions. These sanctions were imposed by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.
“Those who flout our economic sanctions, export control laws and any trade regimes will not go unpunished,” Ross said at the time. “They will suffer the harshest of consequences.”
So, what is Trump doing? He has promised ZTE that he will ensure that their business will succeed.
“President Xi of China, and I, are working together to give massive Chinese phone company, ZTE, a way to get back into business, fast,” the president wrote on Twitter. “Too many jobs in China lost. Commerce Department has been instructed to get it done!”
Okay; time for the truth. Trump is using his illegitimate presidency to increase his personal business. The fact is that all of Trump’s ties and some other apparel are made in sweat shops in China. In addition, Ivanka’s entire clothing line is manufactured in China. The Trump Klan is white trash which claims to place “America First,” but all of their products are made in foreign nations.
Join the revolution. It began on January 21, 2017 when the largest protest in Washington’s history was held by women. In March our next voting group held a huge march in our nation’s Capitol. All men must follow their lead. We must take our country back before it’s too late.
