I just learned about this executive order (section 6-b) which says Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 on April 20th which will ammount to declaring martial law. That's the end of the USA.

If you haven't already made an escape plan, I suggest doing so right now. This is not a drill!

The only way I see out of this is to absolutely flood the streets European style 24/7. A general strike. A mass and sustained boycot. We need to shut it all down. It won't be convenient. It won't work with your schedule. Know your rights and defend them. Spread this message to everyone you know. It must go viral.

Edit 1: Note that The Insurrection Act of 1807 is different from the The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 which Trump has already invoked.

Edit 2: Here is the relevant EO text:

Within 90 days of the date of this proclamation, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit a joint report to the President about the conditions at the southern border of the United States and any recommendations regarding additional actions that may be necessary to obtain complete operational control of the southern border, including whether to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807.

Note that we should treat this as a foregone conclusion despite the language indicating it isn't.

Edit 3: I'm trying to spread this to every relevant subreddit I can think of, but most have strict rules against cross-posts. Please help me with this. I can't believe I hadn't heard of the above EO until today. I want everyone to know that our democracy has an imminant expiration date.
