I am advocating for demonstrating a popular spirit of resistance to Constitutional abuse - for example: one day. I cited the Egyptian example and how effective it was. Send the tyrannical oligarchs a message. If you do not believe in such as that - peace to you on your way.

Red States alone could make a great wave with one sweeping shut down, for only ONE 8hr day?

Neither the citizens to buy nor sell, for one day.
In “unity”, of course. Heck. Even if only many.

Otherwise, business-as-usual seems to fund this obvious Colour Revolution taking hold in the USA.
But, we already knew that.

#Resistance

The Egyptian example of ousting the Muslim Brotherhood was much more complex than business owners protesting against perceived government abuses. The people had been looking for political leadership that would lead to meaningful reform of Egypt on a societal level and the creation of a new, inclusive constitution, and they didn’t see that it was happening.

What they saw was a group that sought revenge against its political enemies, and threatened the police, judiciary, and the army. The public perception was that they were a closed ideological group that held meetings in secret and ruled Egypt from behind a curtain, with nefarious plans to destroy the country and remain in power forever. Egypt’s military was instrumental in leading the “soft coup” and it had the full backing of every level of society. This is what led to the overthrow of the Muslim Brotherhood. It wasn’t a one-day protest by business-owners but, rather, a whole-of-society rejection of their incompetence, rigidity and inability to bring about the modernization that the people expected.

I suppose in that regard the Muslim Brotherhood isn’t all that different from the Democrat party.
