leftist infighting

(this is a sarcastic post meant to highlight the absurdity of some of the “greater good” rhetoric we’ve been hearing, especially around leaving vulnerable populations like disabled people behind in case of revolution, basically accelerationism)
I don't think either of those is very likely. The congress and judiciary are made up of people who used their powers to facilitate the current problems. A military coup is also pretty unlikely but I don't really have much to base that feeling on. Trump dying might break the spell enough for some congressional action. Outside of that, I'm afraid that civil resistance is the only thing that will impede these deportations. And I don't mean orderly protests on the weekends.
Organizing takes time, you want to flip a switch and have millions in the streets for a general strike but it's going to take gradual steps to get there.
I'm pessimistic about a general strike in the US. We don't have anywhere near the union participation required, IMO. I'm talking about smaller, ad-hoc groups doing real damage, hopefully with broad (if tacit) support. See what's happening with Teslas as an example. Next should come some serious anti-ICE actions. Sweet username btw.
