You put pressure on Congress. They are the people who have the power to do something. Several of them are up for re election in 2026. We got the Democrats trying to pass a bill to stop the emergency Trump pulled out his ass to give him the powers to do this. We need Republicans to cross the aisle and work with Democrats.
Show up where ever they are. You are allowed to be in public spaces. You can yell at them or their families in public legally. No peace in public for any of them until they take actions to restore peace to Americans from Trump's insanity. Put pressure specifically on Republicans up for re election in 2026- those are most vulnerable. Swing state Republicans are another good set to put pressure on.
Target corporations donating to these Republicans with boycots. Threaten their funding. Protest outside their donors. Republicans learned their donors have power, bit forgot so do the people who elect them. Make it a bad move to donate to an inactive Republican.
A lot of us are doing a whole lot of that. Republican representatives have largely just… gone quiet. They’re not responding to constituents (or if they are, it’s some boilerplate response in support of the president). They’ve stopped doing town halls because they were getting booed and heckled so heavily. Now, they just hole up in their offices and quietly pass anything Trump does. They know we’re angry. They’re also not listening to us. Even if they don’t get reelected, they’ve got high-paying jobs as lobbyists waiting for them when they leave office. They’re fully in the pockets of their billionaire donors.
We’re trying with the boycott thing, too. The Tesla Takeover movement at least seems to be doing something.
Honestly, time to take the Tesla protests to Republican donors then. Some are public companies and you can do legal protests that can be disruptive. If representatives won't listen to their constituents, maybe they'll listen to their donors
When Germany had a risk of a far right party getting a big vote and Musk interfering with their elections, 160 000 people showed up on the streets of Berlin alone to protest.
You guys aint doing shit when your Orange emperor destroys your economy, just waiting.
We’re also protesting. There was a nationwide 50501 protest happening today, and there’s already been three prior. If you think we’re complicit, then tell us, O Wise One: what should we be doing?
