Leaving aside armed rebellion, which I fear will play into their hands in all the ways everyone has already outlined, what can we do if/when this terrifying bill passes, in whatever form for now?
We will have 3 years before it actually takes full effect, although some aspects may show up immediately in the form of a price war among the insurance companies and the inclusion of many of the points contained in the single-payer option being made available in private insurance.
How many seats do we need to take to block zerO for the next 2 years after midterms?
I have been wondering if Ghandi-style civil disobedience would be effective? Thousands of citizens sitting in the street singing “We Shall Not Be Moved”. Universal work strikes. Tax strikes.Every voter who feels vulnerable accompanied by two large young militarily trained men as they go to the polls. (I actually had this scenario happen to me at a Bush rally in 2004. The leftists had blocked the exits to the parking lots and were forcing the attendees to walk out of their way to get to their cars. I saw two tall, young soldiers and asked them if they would accompany me through the mess and they did. One had to deflect an elbow aimed at my head by a protester. I was 61 and am about 5’3” and under 130 pounds).
We need tactics and strategies that can be implemented by individuals and fall short of violence, which will give them an excuse to enact martial law and emergency statutes.
First, no matter what, you won't get EVERY vote on every issue, so you have to have a margin for attrition. (Remember, we lost ANWR by one vote when we had a five or six vote cushion).
Second, for every RINO still in there, you need one more to offset that person.
Third, every "new" person must be ideologically committed like nothing we've ever seen. They will be demonized and attacked and slandered and have to be ready, because what the class of 1994 went through will be NOTHING compared to what those who challenge the Messiah will endure.
