It can't happen here.
Thats more than just the title of a suddenly highly relevant Sinclair Lewis novel about the rise of an American dictator, written in 1935 another era when despots were on peoples minds, for some weird reason. No, it cant happen here long been the national motto of a United States of America that has long thought itself immune to the slings and arrows of everyone elses world history.
An authoritarian president with nothing but contempt for 242 years of democratic norms, a free press, and a judicial system untainted by political interference? It cant happen here, the American exceptionalists all told us. An unqualified narcissist gaining the Oval Office with the help of crimes committed by a foreign adversary? Of course it cant happen here!
And theres a flip side to all of this denial. The notion that the will of the people can regain control of the plot narrative that also could never happen here, not in America. Remember what just happened in South Korea in late 2016 and early 2017 (coincidentally, the same months that America was electing and inaugurating Donald Trump) the so-called Candlelight Revolution in which as many as two million people, fed up with their corrupt president, Park Geun-Hye, took to the streets of Seoul? Those protests continued until Park was impeached and removed from office and a new president (whos conducted a Nobel Prize-worthy campaign for peace on the Korean Peninsula, by the way) replaced him.....

Where were all these screams of “treason” when Obama and Hillary sold 20% of our uranium to Putin and Russia?
The doorknob who wrote this screed no doubt had the general phrasing all worked out beforehand and just needed the cue from his party to type it up and run it through spell check. What will he do for an encore now that he’s shot his wad? Turn the hysterical knob up to eleven?
Amen. The left needs to be put down for good.
A general strike?
Sounds like a great idea to me. Far more pleasant day to work and vastly reduced rush-hour traffic in DC.
Go for it, libtards!!!
Maybe we need unrest on the part of the silent majority that elected Donald. J. Trump president. It wouldn’t be difficult strategy wise to bring DC to its knees by blocking the morning commute.
Dont you first have to have a job before you go out on a strike?
Strikes by the unemployed masses.
How utterly Bolshevik.
Where were they when Obama was walking all over the Constitution and the Law? Would be funny as hell if they weren’t so pathetic....
Yes, like the “Stick Whitey Day” nonsense discussed years ago but never implemented...they were going to show “The Man”.../s
Please, please, please do it!!!!!
Keep in mind, to a Democrat, going on strike means stopping you from going to work.
They call Trump a traitor then they do this....

A perfect description of Barack Hussein Obama.
An unqualified narcissist gaining the Oval Office with the help of crimes committed by a foreign adversary?
Uh, that would be Bill Clinton. I am taking unqualified narcissist to mean that Bill is a pure narcissist, with no qualifying modifiers needed. Seems a lot of people are either too young to know, or have simply forgotten about Charlie Trie, Loral Space, etc.
The author of this piece couldnt possibly get it more wrong. But hey, thats what journalism is all about these days.

Its clear that these people are living in an alternate reality of their own imaginations that has nothing to do with our actual country today. People this disconnected from reality or reason may be dangerous. Thats the bad part; otherwise, we should just leave them to their fantasies and rantings.

My pearls!
A general strike? Why, how delightfully communist of you.
BTW, 1917 called and they want their Bolsheviks back.
Go ahead and strike.
I’m sure all of the fast-food places can shift around people to fill orders, and then realize they never really needed you.
