Yup; it’s going to require nationwide coordinated action.
Not every city, and not every person (relatively small numbers of people in the streets can paralyse a city; thousands, not millions), but enough to jam the gears of the national economy.
St Louis showed how it’s done.
Just calling a date won’t work [1]; you need to build momentum first. But it can happen quickly if the stars align; see the current burst of teacher’s strikes for an example. West Virginia lit the fuse, but it rapidly spread interstate.
There’s a fire that’s just waiting for fuel

[1] The RevCom (AKA Refuse Fascism) crew tried that months ago. That was the event underlying the “antifa uprising” nonsense that the fascists were hyping last November. Pretty much no-one paid attention to it except for the alt-right trollies who were trying to pretend it was a coup attempt.

We are mostly way off topic on this thread and I would argue it’s ok. The actual topic is quite literally a path to the destruction of humanity. So discussing pretty much ANYTHING ELSE should not just be allowed but encouraged.
I tip my hat to everyone here. You all make me laugh and smile and genuinely think highly of other human beings. Regardless of our disagreements or differing opinions.
And I’ll stop now as I’m on the fourth old fashioned. Which is less old fashioned and more just added bourbon to my empty glass. I’m getting misty.
