In an interview with MS NOW’s Alex Witt over the weekend,
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland)
indicated that a nationwide
general strike might be the next thing needed in order to oppose
Donald Trump’s authoritarianism.
Raskin made clear to viewers of the program that he didn’t believe a general strike, on its own, could bring about huge changes,
but rather that it had to be done in conjunction with other actions.
“We’re not going to have one magic solution to the problem that ails us,” Raskin said on Sunday.
“It’s not going to be the courts,
or the House,
or the Senate,
or the people in the movements.
It’s going to be all of it together.”
Raskin added:
Everybody needs to be working in unison to defend constitutional democracy and freedom in the country,
against this authoritarian clampdown,
and the unleashing of state terror against our people in the communities in America.
He also gave immense praise to Minnesota demonstrators who, on Friday, took part in a statewide general strike
