    Ok allow me to explain in real terms: 50% of the US thinks Donald Trump is a reasonable leader, and you think that you will somehow convince enough of these people to participate in collective direct action before you will convince them to just not vote for a fucking idiot?

      if you consider voter turnout, its more like 20-30%ish. in my country, our trump-equivalent had about 25%. you wont convince most of them, and you dont need to.

      you dont need the entirety of the population onboard. in fact you can see the amount of damage this 20-30% was and still is able to do.

      the railroad strikes, what is their percentage of the population? that got them scared already. with results will come more supporters.
