I'm in a red state with GOP reps. I really don't think any of those will go anywhere.

And not sure what going on strike would accomplish. My company isn't based in the US, my boss isn't American (and likes Trump), and 2/3 of my team are outside of the US anyway. I like my company and my boss, and going on strike would just get me fired for no reason. Why would I do that? My company didn't donate to him or anything, so how would pissing my boss off accomplish anything?

The only effective measures I have would put my family at risk, and those have a remote chance of working. Why would I do that? It's illogical, especially when the chances of Trump actually becoming a dictator are slim to none.

I'm not going to screw up my life just for some internet cred. I'll do what I did in the last three elections: vote against him and urge those around me to do the same. Not that it matters, because the Republican will always win my state and district, but it's something.

The most effective use of my time is to largely ignore him. Anything else is illogical IMO.

sadly this thread has devolved into american hatred, so saying things that make sense will get you downvoted.

american = tyrant in this particular thread. =(
