I see ppl saying we need to be ready to "get in the streets" over Trump obstructing the election, and I agree, but I think we need more specificity. There& #39;s a notion some ppl have that simply pumping a lot of ppl into the streets for large marches, in of itself, makes change.

Large marches can be important, but they don& #39;t necessarily disrupt the system, and that& #39;s what will be needed to stop Trump. A whole lot of people who hate Trump taking an extended walk together will not have any impact unless that walk is actually part of shutting shit down.

We& #39;re not talking about big permitted marches that simply "make a statement" or "raise awareness." If you want to march to halt someone& #39;s governance, you need to make clear that the machine will not run if they are in charge -- like marching in the context of a general strike.

I agree that action will be necessary. I do not think votes alone will remove Trump. But I am gonna need some folks who think of the Women& #39;s March when they imagine protest to know that stopping Trump isn& #39;t going to look like that.
