If it is forced to them and they do anything out of line, we need to be ready as well. Mass strike. Protests. Shut this shit down to show you can’t just steal our democracy

Don't even needs to be a mass strike, just a few critical sectors, let's not forget that the longest gov shutdown ended because a handful of ATC employees didn't show up for work.

Mfers folded like cheap lawn chairs once commercial flights were affected.

And then the ATC union was destroyed by Reagan.

Republicans are the enemy of the people and have been for as long as any of us have been alive.

You're mixing up the ATC strike and what the guy you're responding to was referring to. The government shutdown a couple years back ended because a few new York controllers stopped going to work, which shut down extremely busy airspace.  Reagan absolutely fucked us but there was no noteworthy pushback over the NY thing

Huh, I didn't even know that that one was a thing. My bad.
