10) Opposition groups should begin the process of coordinating national strikes and peaceful civil disobedience campaigns that will bring the United States to a complete standstill until the insanity ceases.
9) Opposition groups should urge boycotts of World Cup games in the United States, and urge teams to refuse to play in American stadiums. The matches can take place in Mexico and Canada. Foreign tourists should be asked to stand with the American people by refusing to travel to the United States. Don’t come.
8) Opposition groups should begin organizing an athlete boycott of the Olympic opening ceremonies, which will include a parade past Trump, which will be reminiscent of the march past Hitler in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. No moral person will participate in the parade. No decent nation will dip their flag to the American fascist behind the desecrated Seal of the President of the United States.
7) MAGA opposition groups should coordinate boycotts of Hilton Hotels, which has punished a hotel franchisee who refused to serve ICE agents by kicking him out of the Hilton franchise. Pain is always the best teacher, and an example must be set. Hilton is an easy target.
6) The Congress must be prepared to use its full Constitutional powers, including the power of inherent contempt and the purse to make the madness stop. This won’t happen until the MAGA majority is deposed.
5 cont) All that is required is helping a few Republicans into the early lifeboats. The people who got into early lifeboats on the Titanic had long and happy lives. The ones who didn’t were fished out of the North Atlantic frozen solid and mostly buried in Halifax. It’s a compelling tale when properly presented.
4) The democratic Senate minority should replace Schumer and his leadership team immediately. This isn’t just a pragmatic imperative. It is a moral one. At this point, the line between collaboration and appeasement is thin and broken. Chuck Schumer serves the cause of MAGA as diligently as does Lindsey Graham and Markwayne Mullin.
3 cont) This includes the full use of every legal power and authority at their disposal from hearings, subpoenas, investigations and full use of the states’ pension funds in the name of preserving American liberty.
2) The governors should make a joint statement and enter into a series of interstate compacts that increase their collective power to oppose the Trump fascists. They should issue a statement of principles, a set of commitments to the American people, and a set of demands towards MAGA.
With a fiery tongue, I can appreciate the words of Steve Schmidt in these moments and his #10SpecificActions we need to take, Now:
1) Governor Andy Beshear of the Democratic Governors Association should call an emergency meeting of every Democratic governor, and invite any Republican who remains loyal to the country over their seditious party.
