Well the difference here is that during the election, people had a hard time getting angry at Republicans because they were wrongly* perceived as not being in power due to Biden’s presidency. I doubt a general strike is likely as long as people feel comfortable and employed, but that could change and then I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some serious tremors.
*Because Republicans in Congress blocked any new legislation and the Republican supreme court blocked whatever options were left over.
There’s a reason why for the longest time there was a lot of vagrancy (still are) and loitering laws. Was so that the unemployed and homeless couldnt have a voice without making themselves a target
We can’t get people to vote. There’s no way we’re getting a general strike

I tried organizing a board game night with 4 people. Literally impossible.
The cynic in me says there’s a big overlap between the unemployed and the unrepresented, so to speak.
